Final Answer :
Often, having retrieved search results, you would like to quickly locate certain key information.
For example, suppose that your search resulted in a list of twenty cases relevant to your topic. Westlaw's "Locate in Results" tool allows you to scan the documents in your search results for terms that were not included in your query, and in that way narrow the search results. When browsing through search results, it is important to remember that the time spent using the service is costly. If you have found a case or cases that appear to be on point, you can print them out (or download them) for further study.
