Hello,

I prefer Westlaw, used it in my schooling without a problem. When I tried using Lexis the home page was not accessible. It showed an image to click on to launch the site but the image was not clickable by keyboard methods.

Go with Westlaw! It is loaded with useful features.

Hello, 

I personally prefer Westlaw. My experience is that it's more accessible, more intuitive, and more robust. The only time I've used Lexis in the past couple of years was to access People Search. TR/Westlaw also has fantastic research assistance and tech support via phone. Never having used Lexis's similar services, I can't speak to them one way or the other. 

Warmth, 
Sanho
