Notes de l'éditeur

  1. According to a recent survey conducted by Law Technology News, 73% of law firms surveyed charged clients for legal research, down from 97% in 2008. 81 law firms answered the survey, including 50 from firms with more than 500 attorneys
  2. Use smaller databases Find/Get a Document
  3. Items in folders are there forever, but cost after one year. History is there for one year, but costs the next day.
  4. Forecite pulls cases cited frequently by other cases in your results, but the cases it pulls do not necessarily have all your search terms
