Amplify Google Scholar with CiteStack

Randall Ryder — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 19:00:42 +0000

Many solo-small attorneys elect not to pay for Lexis or Westlaw and instead uselLower cost alternatives like Fastcase (free with bar membership) and Google Scholar (always free). When I am researching I tend to use both Scholar and Fastcase, but CiteStack may tip the scales in favor of Google Scholar. How it works The majority [...]

Learn Multiple Legal Research Platforms

Laura Bergus — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:00:34 +0000

Regardless of where you are on your path to a legal career, you should try to master the variety of legal research tools at your fingertips. During my 1L legal writing course, our law librarians empowered me with fundamental legal research skills. We learned to apply these skills to the archaic online databases of Westlaw [...]

LexisNexis: We Broke It, You Buy It

Sam Glover — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:00:35 +0000

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? Good question. No worries, from now on, LexisNexis will [...]

The Debut of Bloomberg Law

Randall Ryder — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:19:15 +0000

The duel between LexisNexis and Westlaw is about to become a three-way battle—Bloomberg Law rolls out later this month. Bloomberg Law’s claim to fame is integrating real-time news and business bulletins with legal content. The service also has comparable features to Westlaw and LexisNexis—case law search, citation check, headnotes, etc. Whether or not Bloomberg Law [...]

LexisNexis’ new public interest program: just another marketing pitch?

Leora Maccabee — Tue, 05 May 2009 19:03:27 +0000

Update: LexisNexis has expanded eligibility for its ASPIRE program to include all law school graduates pursuing public interest work, until September 2010. LexisNexis has just kicked off registration for ASPIRE, a new program providing free access to a “robust menu of materials” including federal/state cases, codes, regulations, and law reviews to law school graduates working [...]

LexisNexis has gone paperless

Sam Glover — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:29:37 +0000

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 [...]

Update from Time Matters consultant: okay, okay, Time Matters 6 through 8 were pretty bad, but it’s better now, I promise!

Sam Glover — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:37:51 +0000

In a comment on the ever-popular “Speeding up Time Matters” post, Tom Rowe, who is apparently a Time Matters consultant, wrote the following: As a long time CIC and Time Matters users, I have to say that many of the posts here are fair. I am sure that many of the posters who are/were using [...]

Revisiting Time Matters

Sam Glover — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:29:31 +0000

A little over a year ago, I posted about my frustration, both with the speed and stability of Time Matters with Billing Matters Plus v7 and with the CIC Solutions Forum, which purports to be a place where users can get support from certified consultants, but where my post about how to speed up TM7 [...]

Lexis is willing to drop its arbitration clause

Sam Glover — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 22:52:31 +0000

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: Lexis’s arbitration clause includes a gag order on its customers requiring tem to keep all arbitrations confidential. A number of courts have struck down similar secrecy provisions in consumer arbitration clauses [...]

Speeding up Time Matters

Sam Glover — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 02:32:55 +0000

I tried to post a question to the CIC Solutions Forum, but apparently my request for tips to speed up Time Matters was objectionable: Your post was deleted by Matt Stone. Subject: Speeding up Time Matters? Reason: Thank you for contributing to the CIC Solutions Forums. Your message was rejected by the list moderator because [...]
