Searching in Lexis:
Choose key terms
These could be a phrase such as:
“separation order”
“care orders”,
“civil partnership proceedings”
“assisted reproduction”, Lexis always searches words as a phrase, unless you instruct
otherwise and will return results with words in that order.
Or individual words, such as “maintenance”,
parent,

relevant topics.

Westlaw Search tips:
To search for words as a phrase in Westlaw,

narrow your search down.
