Westlaw Provides 2 Ways for Profs to Collaborate

The First Way:  Law School Exchange Groups – share documents and communicate via email message boards.  Receive an email when there are new messages or documents.  Groups can be public, private, or membership can require approval.  Some existing groups include Best Practices in Teaching, Users of Dressler Criminal Law Casebook and the Labor Law Capstone Project.

The Second Way: TWEN My Faculty Programs – share documents, bulletin boards, live discussions.   Uses TWEN platform, so you can get email notification of new activity.   Can be public or private (password protected).  Includes author forums for casebooks (eg. Fortney and Johnson – Legal Malpractice Law: Problems and Prevention) and faculty discussion forums, such as the Civil Procedure Syllabi bank (lots of material on this one).
