Welcome

It’s an uncertain time for legal professionals – but for some, it’s also a time of quiet optimism. Now may be your chance to brush up on legal knowledge and skills to position yourself for more rewarding work when the next opportunity comes around. Maybe it’s time to pursue that dream of becoming your own boss. Or perhaps it’s simply an opportune time to give something back to your community through pro bono work.

Whatever’s in store for you, we’d like to help in any way we can. So take a breath – and when you’re ready, use this website to turn the page and see what’s next.

From Peter Warwick, President & CEO - Thomson Reuters, Legal

Dear colleague:

This is a time of unprecedented change in the legal profession, and today a good number of legal professionals find themselves in transition. Many are longstanding customers of West – people we’ve known for years – so the effect is more than an economic consequence.

As unsettling as change and uncertainty can be, we feel strongly that some things shouldn’t change. Most importantly for legal professionals, one thing that shouldn’t change is continuing access to the information and resources that can help to support their work as they navigate the transition to their next assignment.

To that end, we are pleased to launch Between Cases, a new resource that combines job search tools, legal education offerings from West LegalEdcenter, and information and resources for setting up a private practice. And for those who see their transition as an opportunity to stay connected to the profession through pro bono work, we’ve included access to free legal reference materials.

To borrow from William Jennings Bryan, opportunity is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. We sincerely hope that Between Cases can help you to choose wisely, by providing a bridge, or pointing the way to a new path. I wish you every success along the way.

Best wishes,

Peter Warwick

President & CEO
