PDF Editor FAQ

Why do lawyers need Westlaw? Why can't they just Google it?

For many reasons:When I find a case, I also automatically get its subsequent history. I know immediately if it has been overruled, modified, superseded by statute, or explained. Google doesn’t do that. If you find a case on Google, you’ll have to do considerable extra research to determine the case’s validity.I also get links to secondary sources that refer to the case. Google doesn’t do that.I also get links to appellate briefs and trial court orders that mention the case. Google doesn’t have that data.If I look up a statute, Westlaw provides links to cases that discuss it, organized by topic.Westlaw easily tracks my usage in a way that allows me to properly allocate costs to the client.Westlaw utilizes a key number digest system. If I find a useful case, I can see the relevant key numbers and search for similar authority. Google has nothing comparable.Most importantly: my opponent and the judge are going to be using Westlaw. I darned well better know what they are going to find.

Does the show 'Suits' showcase how a law firm functions, or is it just played up for dramatization?

Does it have any hour-long episodes where the attorneys just sit there reading papers? Staring at computer screens? Sitting in court listening to other cases waiting for yours to be called? Playing phone tag with co-counsel? Responding to emails asking questions about billing categories? Meetings with WESTLAW representatives and publishers? A half hour of entering time into the billing software?

As a lawyer/lawfirm have you been satisfied or unsatisfied with Findlaw? Why?

I wouldn’t seriously consider anything other than Westlaw or LEXIS for serious legal research. FindLaw doesn’t do nearly enough for me. It might give me text of a statute or a case, but it won’t link to the case history, identify cases and texts interpreting a statute, or flag a case that has been overturned. I allocate the cost of Westlaw to clients, so it costs me virtually nothing to use it. Why would I use a lesser tool when I can use a far superior one at no additional cost?
