Reading through some news items today, I am brought back to the fact that searching for court records is very much a 'necessity' in many lawfirms. An article posted on Business Post today (click here for the full article) expresses the Ohio State Bar Association's plans to increase its legal search database to include case law and statues from all the other 50 US states. The records will be made available via the association's Casemaker digital library... for a fee of course.
Actually, despite this 'fee', many welcome the idea with open arms as Casemaker is an inexpensive alternative to such popular research tools as LexisNexis and Westlaw.
And the best part of all? Lawfirms are stating that the savings they will incur can be passed on to consumers. Dare we believe the statements of these lawyers?!? ;)
