West Survey Builder is an affordable new tool that helps you understand current state statutes and regulations in the jurisdictions and topic areas relevant to your organization.

Customized to your exact needs
You select only the jurisdictions you need to review and just the information that matters to you. West Survey Builder creates an on-demand custom survey that gives you focused results, saving you research time and expense.

Find answers fast
Building surveys is easy and automatic. One template-driven search lets you select your topic, choose your jurisdictions, and you're done:

1. Access Survey Builder on the 50 State Surveys® tab.
2. Select your topic and subtopic from a drop down menu - no need to enter search terms or databases.
3. Select specific questions you need answered and choose your jurisdictions.
4. In seconds you have a chart summarizing how each state handles your topic.

State requirements are presented in question and answer summary format in an easy-to-read table. Plus, you get links to full text documents on Westlaw®.

Cover all variations in naming and definitions
Survey Builder accounts for state naming and definition variations – you don't need to know what a state calls a statute or regulation, how it's numbered, or even if it exists.

For example, if one state uses "mortgage" and another uses "home lending" for the same topic, Survey Builder will find both. You can be confident you won't miss anything.

Convenient, efficient searching
Now you can cut hours - even days - of tedious work by eliminating the need to wade through individual statutes and regulations one by one, never really knowing if you've covered every base. West Survey Builder makes manual searching a thing of the past.
