[blindlaw] [student question] Citing with Lexis and Westlaw

[kelby carlson]

Sadly, I have never managed to do this successfully on either site, and I have spoken to accessibility personnel with both. It is easier to copy the citation from Lexis since there is a button to do so, but you will not get a pin citation. You will need to search for the nearest asterisk to whatever you are citing which will give you the page number. Make sure you know which reporter you are citing to, though, as many cases are reported in multiple places and so have more than one set of page numbers.
