How to Use the Browse Tool

  2. You will see a list of top-level collections for your default jurisdiction (e.g., Case Law, Legislation, Books & Journals).

  3. Click on a collection to reveal the next level of filters. An arrow icon (>) indicates that another filter level will open. A list icon indicates that clicking will take you to a results page.

  4. Continue clicking through the filters to narrow down to the specific content you need.

Use the Browse tool to drill down through categories to find relevant content.
