Most people are surprised when we tell them, for instance, that
California state case law back to 1934 is available online for free -
including the official West citation and pagination. If this is news to you,
what else should you know about online legal research? The world isn't
changing, it has changed. What about you?

Today, as our clients in some of this nation's leading firms and Fortune
500 companies already know, TheLaw.net Pro Custom Web Browser provides
unlimited access to our proprietary, searchable database of more than 4
million cases that includes:

--Nearly 200 Federal and state appellate jurisdictions (listed in detail
below with date of origin)
--There are no passwords, meters, slices, printing, downloading, viewing or
transaction hassles to contend with
--Many jurisdictions are back-filed to the early 20th century, all are
updated daily
--The official citations are included shortly after they become available
--Search syntax options include natural language, Boolean, truncation and
nesting
--You can easily research the history of a cite or simply pop-up a case if
you know: party, counsel, court, date, docket number, citation, panel or
author
--$995 buys five individual unlimited access via our Workgroup Edition
--Individual subscriptions are just $345 for our Convenience Edition and the
software resides on your PC at work, home and on the road (See below for more
information regarding applicable November discounts, volume licensing and
special incentives for AALL and ACCA Members)


ASK YOURSELF THIS:
If the present and future of case law, statutes, rules, forms,
administrative codes, executive agency databases, legislation trackers, law
reviews and corporate and personal profile information is free, what
processes and standards do you have in place for quickly accessing and
leveraging these resources on behalf of your practice? In the absence of any
best practices how can you ever expect to meaningfully shorten the checklist
of enhanced, premium-wine products you may still need from the big two
compusearchers?


REAL LEGAL RESEARCH FROM WORK, HOME OR THE ROAD
TheLaw.net's foolproof custom browser is a plug and play software
solution that facilitates real legal research for all attorneys, paralegals
and librarians. Besides case law, our slick software includes a built-in,
deep-linked, point and click menu driven system for quickly popping-up any of
the 50,000 best, most frequently sought after web based documents and
databases, such as:

--Federal and State Statutes Menu: http://www.thelaw.net/statutes.htm

Appellate Procedure Menu: http://www.thelaw.net/rules.htm
