Westlaw: Researching Regulations & Administrative Decisions Online

- Locate and navigate regulations by code section, chapter, or specific regulation;
- Use the RegulationsPlus tool to access relevant cases, previous versions, administrative decisions, and Federal Register updates;
- Search the CFR using the index;
- Access administrative decisions on Westlaw and use KeyCite to determine if a decision is still good law.
