Use Nexis Uni to find Court Cases

  1. Open Nexis Uni
  2. Select Sources from the top menu
  3. Under Publication Type, select "Cases"
  4. Under Jurisdiction, select More than All. 
  5. Add the selected jurisdictions (either All, or All states, unselecting Federal and International)
  6. Combine keywords and phrases.
    • Remember to consider alternate terms, e.g. "cell phones" or "cellular phones" and use OR between the terms. 
    • Place quotation marks around phrases (words that should appear together in the text)

Examples: 

School AND ("cell phones" OR "cellular phones")

or 

School w/30 ("cell phones" OR "cellular phones")

Please note: This will look for your keywords to appear somewhere in the description of a case. This means that there are likely some cases that aren't relevant because the terms can come up in other contexts.
