Yes, this works for us too, but you need the new Westlaw platform, URL as given by Jonathan.
It doesn't work on the old platform. Sounds like this is what you have been trying Jon?
Our problem now is that we can't get our WAYFless URL to work, as Westlaw haven't registered their
new platform URL with Athens yet to enable the direct access method:
http://auth.athensams.net/?ath_dspid=ATHENS&ath_action=shaauth&id=https://idp.cardiff.ac.uk/shibboleth&ath_returl=http://auth.athensams.net/trl/1.0/-/WESTLAWUK
So near, yet so far...

Subject: Westlaw, again
In a message to a colleague, a contact at Westlaw said "At the moment we
are Athens-Shibboleth gateway compliant for Westlaw but not yet for
Lawtel". However my attempts to access Westlaw via Shib and the Gateway
result in an error page including the message "Description: Error
getting sponsor based on prefix for: _wplsf6omk2rfw7lfveb - No Athens
prefix found in DB" which suggests to me that the long-standing gateway
incompatibility hasn't been fixed.
Does anyone know differently?
Jon.
