I know that I appreciate the unlimited lexis/westlaw access I have through school. I have also just been part of the negotiations between westlaw, lexis, and the office I work at. I was AMAZED at how much unlimited access for the office actually cost! Good thing they get us addicted to the services in law school huh? :)
Are there any free alternatives that even come close to comparing to lexis and westlaw?
On another note...does anyone know of any good brief banks for courts other than the U.S. Supreme Court? I was talking to a Lexis rep today and apparently they have some sort of brief bank in the works.
