So long, Westlaw printers

Westlaw printers in MPAA will be leaving before August 1 because Westlaw is removing all support for law school printers this summer. In email communication with law school contacts, Westlaw representatives cited several reasons:

  • Practitioners do not have designated printers, so students will be more prepared for a practice environment.
  • Practitioners prefer electronic document options like highlighting, adding notes, using folders, and email.
  • Promoting electronic alternatives to print is consistent with Thomson Reuter’s environmental goals.
  • Printing is now less than half of what it used to be before WestlawNext was launched.

Lexis printers, however, will remain where they are.
