Westlaw tip: Asterisks aren’t just for fine print
September 3, 2010
Sometimes you have to let a letter become the star. On Westlaw, the * symbol (AKA the star or the asterisk) is the universal character. You can use the universal character anywhere in a word except at the beginning. For example, gr*w retrieves grow and grew. Try a search for ti(Swens*n) in ALLCASES to see it in action.
