Every legal database is laid out a little differently, but the same parts are always there. Learn them once here, on a generic platform, and you can sit down at Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg, or a free database and find what you need without hunting.

How to use this: click any part of the database below. A short explanation will pop up telling you what it does and when you would use it. Work your way around the screen, then visit the results page to see what a search returns.
