Legal News<br />

The Legal News feature allows you and your students to view the latest legal news. Legal News, which<br />

• Legal News Today—You can choose from <strong>Westlaw</strong> bulletins or U.S. Supreme Court bulletins.<br />

• Jurisdictional News—<strong>TWEN</strong> automatically provides the current legal news for the state in which<br />

your law school is located.<br />
