      Westlaw's online citator is called KeyCite and can be found by pulling up the statute you need and navigating to the section of interest. From there, you can find cases that consider the section.<\/p>\n\n
      Westlaw provides two types of citing case lists: <\/p>\n\n
      \n\t
      Judicial Consideration<\/strong>: A curated list of cases that Westlaw editors have determined \"meaningfully interpret\" the section. <\/li>\n\t
      Citing Cases: <\/strong>A more expansive list of citing cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      Both are available from the view inside the legislative provision. From the Westlaw homepage:<\/p>\n\n
      \n\t
      Click on \"Statutes and Regulations\".<\/li>\n\t
      Navigate to your legislation by selecting the right jurisdiction and type of legislation.<\/li>\n\t
      Select the section you are interested in from the table of contents.<\/li>\n\t
      Once you are viewing the section, you can click into both the \"Judicial Consideration\" and \"Citing References\" tabs. For Citing References, make sure you then select \"Cases and Decisions\" to narrow the list to citing cases. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
      Unlike the citator on Lexis, you can view citing references to the entire act by selecting the citation (instead of a specific section) from the table of contents. <\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"213dc173-b1a3-4af1-8466-64f616a1a79b","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"title":"Westlaw"}],"hTag":"h4"}
