LexisNexis: We Broke It, You Buy It

February 12, 2010

If you just bought Time Matters 10, are you bothered that LexisNexis just charged you hundreds of dollars for a “bug fix release”? You do not see Toyota charging car owners to fix their broken pedals, so why should you pay to fix LexisNexis’s broken product?

LexisNexis has gone paperless

August 25, 2008

Kudos to LexisNexis for its efforts to reduce paper waste! At a moot court orientation session at the University of Minnesota Law School this morning, the LexisNexis rep showed up and—this blew me away—did not hand out a single sheet of paper.
The Westlaw rep, meanwhile, made a huge book available. Mercifully, they did not pass [...]

Lexis is willing to drop its arbitration clause

January 31, 2008

Lexis has an atrocious mandatory binding arbitration clause in its contracts. Consumer Law & Policy Blog’s Paul Bland described Lexis’s arbitration clause this way:
