Tip: I like using an Index when available. For most CCH products, a topical Index is available as well as other finding aids. On CCH IntelliConnect, however it can be a little tricky. I have better results when I select the alphabet letter I need and then use ctrl-f to look for my keyword. In this example from the Corporate Governance collection, I activated the letter “P” by clicking the blue page and then used ctrl-f to search for “political.”

You may also perform a keyword search for “all content” on CCH IntelliConnect and then filter the result by Document Type, Library or Jurisdiction.

In the next group of slides, you will see examples of these specialized online research

platforms. What they have in common is access to cases,

statutes, regulations, news and finding aids such as topical

indeces. Unless obtained via special arrangement, these

databases are not available on Lexis/Westlaw and are favored

sources for attorneys who practice in these areas of law.
