- West_(publisher) abstract "West (also known by its original name, West Publishing, and now a business unit of Thomson Reuters) publishes legal, business, and regulatory information in print, and on electronic services such as Westlaw. Since the late 19th century, West has been one of the most prominent publishers of legal materials in the United States. Its headquarters is in Eagan, Minnesota; it also has an office in Rochester, New York and had an office in Cleveland, Ohio until 2010 when it was closed. Organizationally, West is part of the global legal division of Thomson Reuters. West Publishing was founded by John B. West and his brother Horatio in 1872 in St. Paul, Minnesota and is known for establishing the National Reporter System, a system of regional reporters, each of which became known for reporting state court appellate decisions within its region. West also reports decisions of the federal Courts of Appeals in the Federal Reporter and of the federal district courts in the Federal Supplement. Technically, all of West's reporters were originally unofficial reporters published without the express authorization or endorsement of the courts. West reporters have become the nationwide de facto standard used by all federal courts and most state courts, despite their technically unofficial nature. Indeed, a few smaller states discontinued their own official reporters and with West's cooperation, began inserting certificates in the volumes of the relevant West regional reporter certifying it as their official reporter.In 1995 West retained the services of Goldman Sachs in a search for potential purchasers.Thomson purchased West in 1996. Thomson also consolidated into West a number of other law book companies purchased by either Thomson or West, including Bancroft-Whitney, Banks-Baldwin, Barclay, Callaghan & Company, Clark Boardman, Foundation Press, Gilbert's, Harrison, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing, and Warren, Gorham & Lamont. Today, West also publishes some treatise titles purchased from Shepard's (but not Shepard's Citations). Through these acquisitions, Thomson has become one of the "big three" of legal publishers, along with LexisNexis and Wolters Kluwer. Following the acquisition by Thomson, West was known as WPIG, West Publishing Information Group. From 1997 to 2004, West was known as "West Group."In 2009/2010 West began offering buyouts to its U.S. editorial staff as it began to move editorial production overseas.".
