KeyCite Overruling Risk
Save time by avoiding a manual review of the cases you're citing. KeyCite is the only citator that warns you when a point of law in a case has been implicitly undermined based on its reliance on an overruled or otherwise invalid prior decision.
Judicial Consideration for Statutes
Access an editorially created list of cases that interpret statutes and meaningfully explain and clarify legislation. Save time by avoiding the need to sift through all the Citing References to determine what is relevant to you.
Outline Builder
Open Outline Builder side by side with a document you find while researching without ever leaving Westlaw Edge Canada with CoCounsel. Drag and drop important text or citations directly into your outline.
Graphical View of History
See your research history in the traditional list view or use the graphical view — a detailed visualization that maps out your research points. This feature allows you to work efficiently, retrace your steps, and pick up where you left off.
Keep List and Hide Details
Save potentially useful cases for later review with a single click using Keep List, ensuring you can easily revisit them without conducting the same search again. Conversely, minimize the visibility of cases you don't want to re-review with Hide Details.
