# Westlaw Deep Research
Westlaw Deep Research searches Westlaw's database of caselaw, statutes, and administrative decisions and returns a written research report that explains, analyzes, or synthesizes relevant authority.
Deep Research employs an agentic process that mirrors the methodology of human researchers, utilizing Westlaw's proprietary tools to systematically analyze the trusted content available on Westlaw and Practical Law.
This skill will autonomously run the full research cycle: start, poll, report.
