- Two New Search Templates Added – A Case Summaries Topical Index Search and a Commentary Search have been added to Criminal Spectrum.

In addition, the following searches have been renamed: “Advanced Case Law Search” to “Case Law Search”, “Advanced Legislation Search” to “Legislation Search” and “Advanced Custom Search” to “Custom Content Search”.
