Comments on: Westlaw Reps Don’t Know their A$$es From their Elbows When it Comes to WestlawNext Packages and Pricing http://legalresearchandwritingpro.com/blog/2010/03/18/westlaw-reps-dont-know-their-asses-from-their-elbows-when-it-comes-to-westlawnext-packages-and-pricing/ All about the practice of legal research and writing, and how to start and run a successful legal research and writing practice Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:32:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bill Parker http://legalresearchandwritingpro.com/blog/2010/03/18/westlaw-reps-dont-know-their-asses-from-their-elbows-when-it-comes-to-westlawnext-packages-and-pricing/comment-page-1/#comment-102152 Bill Parker Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:39:51 +0000 http://legalresearchandwritingpro.com/?p=826#comment-102152 I was formerly a LexisNexis small law rep in Los Angeles. I will say that there are great benefits to switching legal research providers every three years. Most of which is that you are guaranteed to get the best pricing. It may also be time to consider FastCase. Its a great case law product at a great price. The disadvantage is the loss of treatises and practice guides. If you need public records TLO.com is only 25 cents per search and $5 for a comprehensive report. The alternatives to West and Lexis are out there and getting better all the time.

I'm just happy I have a handy, available law school library for secondary sources and jenkinslaw.org for the rest. —Mike Maybe I’m old school, but watching you negotiations and the others that have posted concerning West Law Next, and going through my own trip down the rabbit hole with Lexis-Nexis makes it almost impossible to make any informed choices.
