Westlaw now provides PDF files for many of its cases. A PDF file is a photogrph of the actual page. Many judges will not accept a Westlaw printout. Instead, they want a photocopy of the actual case. Now they can get it! The PDF service is free for students and law schools subscribers, but there may be an additional fee for regular Westlaw subscribers. In spite of the fee, this is a feature that is sure to be a hit.
