Getting Started with Useful Features

History

You can return to previous searches or documents from History on the Lexis^® service. History includes searches, document views, and delivery requests. For more information, see Using History on Lexis.
 

Lexis Answers

Lexis^® Answers provides answers to legal research questions on the Lexis service. Instead of just providing documents with potentially relevant sections highlighted, Lexis Answers extracts and delivers a direct answer to your legal question, along with a finely-tuned document-based results list. For more information, see Lexis Answers on Lexis.
 

Alerts

The Alert feature offers you the ability to create alerts based on search terms, sources, certain document types, topic hierarchies, or Shepard's^® reports. The Lexis service continuously checks for new material and allows you to receive notifications of new material as it becomes available. For more information, see Creating Alerts on Lexis.
 

Folders

The Lexis service allows you to organize your research projects and clients by saving searches, documents, and selected text in folders. For more information, see Folder Basics on Lexis.
 

Ravel Law

Ravel View incorporates Shepard's^® treatment so you can also determine how cases have been treated positively or negatively. This integrated view is available only through the Lexis service. For more information, see Ravel Law on Lexis.
