Re: Firm Westlaw Use
Yes, there should be a separate code for non-billable use. I've never heard of anyone being scolded for Westlaw use. Just be careful before running searches and pulling documents outside the pricing plan (like district court filings, which are usually much cheaper on PACER anyway).
