Statutes on Westlaw
Research note: United States
statutory provisions are
enacted via legislation
introduced and passed by
Congress. As legislation is
introduced it will carry a
Senate or House bill number,
which may be cited as S.B.,
Senate Bill, H.B. or House
Bill. Upon passage by
Congress and the signing of
the President the legislation
will acquire a public law
number, which may be cited
as P.L. or Pub. Law. These
public laws are codified to the
United States Code, which
may be cited by USC or USCA
(West’s annotated version of
the USC). Tax provisions are
typically codified to Title 26
of the USC, which is also
called the Internal Revenue
Code, which may be cited by
IRC. We will refer to these
provisions using USC, USCA,
and IRC interchangeably.

Features and highlights
You can quickly retrieve documents
(statutes, regulations, cases and
administrative materials) with a known
citation using the Find service. Use the
Find templates available to assist you with
the proper format to retrieve the document.
Review the format of the retrieved
document. The standard annotated federal
statutory document in Westlaw includes
the substantive provision of the statutory
section as well as additional information to
facilitate your legal research. The document
begins with the citation to the section,
followed by the title and text of the
provision. West enhances the document by
providing information and analysis including
statutory credits, historical and statutory
notes, revision notes, legislative reports,
amendments and other information that
may be significant to its construction and
application. Research and practice aids
provide cross-references and library
references that lead you to relevant Key
Numbers as well as treatises, law reviews,
and administrative code provisions. Case
annotations provide abstracts of court
opinions that interpret and clarify the
meaning of the legislation.
With Enhanced readability, the statute
layout now matches the formatting and
readability of statutes in print, using printequivalent indent patterns, spacing, italics
and bolding
The indenting of subsection, in particular,
now makes it easier to understand the
relationships between those subsections!

inward for easier understanding of the
context of the code section within the

Westlaw StatutesPlus has a centrally
located, visually distinct KeyCite area (in
white box at the top of the Links tab) so
you can key in on the statute’s status,
history, and citing references immediately.
KeyCite is now front and center!
New explanations for the KeyCite status
flags in the white box provide short
descriptions of each symbol, letting users
know at a glance what KeyCite is telling
them – this is particularly helpful for the
more occasional user.
The red flag indicates that the statute
section has been amended or repealed by a
public or session law. The red flag will
remain until the legislation has been
codified to the section.
A yellow flag indicates that there is
pending legislation that may affect the
statute section (currently available on USCA
and for all 50 state statutes) or that a
section has been re-codified or renumbered (USCA and all states).
Review of the additional
content in the Links Tab
in the left frame
After you find and verify a statute, hone in
on all the additional resources provided in
the clean, streamlined two-tab display
tailored specifically for the statute
retrieved.
The Links tab gathers - in one spot - quick
links to all resources needed for browsing,
verifying and expanding research on the
statute, saving valuable time and effort
and, perhaps most importantly, ensuring
thorough research by providing links to
documents you may have otherwise
missed. Now everything you need to verify
Page 3 of 16
4/2002
and interpret your statute comes to you,
instead of you having to go searching for it.
The links on the tab are dynamic – they
won’t appear unless documents of that type
applicable to your statute are available on
WL.
If you select any of the links displayed on
the Links tab, the target will display in the
right pane.
Click on Table of Contents in
the Full-Text Document
portion of the Links tab for

(and potentially relevant) code sections
within a chapter or subchapter, just as you
would do in print.
What’s new is that the Table of Contents,
when selected, now populates the larger
right pane for much easier reading!.
Notice that the blue arrow indicates what is

longer good law for at least one of the
points it contains. A yellow flag warns that
the case has some negative history but
hasn’t been reversed or overruled. A blue H
indicates that the case has some history. A
green c indicates that the case has citing

KeyCite categorizes citing cases by the
depth of treatment they give your case;
citing cases that discuss your case in depth
are listed under the Citing References
link before cases that only mention your
case. The depth of treatment is symbolized
through the use of stars with one star
applied to cases that provide a brief
reference to the cited case through four
stars that are applied to a case that
contains an extended discussion of the
case, usually more than a printed page.
