Keeping Up-To-Date in Law

Many of the major legal databases have alerting services which you can subscribe to for your areas of interest. Depending on what a database offers, you can receive alerts for different types of information. For example, you can receive updates when:

the new issue of a journal in your field of interested is available,
a case or area of case law has development
there is a development on a piece of legislation

For some databases you can perform a specific search and then make an alert from it. Each time a new match for your search is available, you will be updated.
