Specifically focusing on one such system LexisNexis, which by the way is provided free of charge to IPFW students while they are students, proves to have tremendous benefits to lawyers. This on-line resource not only provides information about:

  • Law in the new
  • Cases through varies searches such as
    • Federal
    • State
    • Area of law by topic
    • Case citation
  • Law Reviews
  • Federal Codes
  • State Codes
  • International Law material
  • Shepard's® for U.S. Supreme Court
  • Patent Research
  • Career Information
  • As well as Congressional Record information.

As discussed in the previous post these searches engines may prove somewhat costly for non-students who pay for full access, i.e., lawyer the systems is, however, well worth the cost. Additionally the new age of lawyers being trained, though still receiving through instruction on book work, are being brought up on this new technology.
