Zotero for Legal Research: Westlaw and Lexis

Using Zotero in Westlaw and Lexis

Zotero can download item information from most major databases, with two important exceptions for legal research: Westlaw Edge and Lexis+ Canada.

For documents on those platforms, you have two options:

  1. Save the source as a Web Page. Zotero will only capture limited information but you can manually add the rest from within your Zotero library.
  2. Locate the source on another platform supported by Zotero (e.g. OMNI, HeinOnline, Proquest, JSTOR, CanLII, Google Scholar).
