Great Legal Research Program
What do you like best?
I like that Lexis is user friendly. The program has everything you need to simplify your research and find applicable case law quickly. The best part of the program is the Shepardize feature, which allows you to make sure your case is still good law. It also allows you to search by headnote for other cases containing the relevant points you're looking for.
What do you dislike?
Lexis is fairly expensive to use. I would say that it costs more than other programs that have comparable features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lexis Advance has the best support. If you're struggling to find something or need assistance with your research, they have lawyers on staff to help. I have asked for assistance finding cases and I am never disappointed. Further, if something is not working correctly, I can always contact to see if there is an issue with their system. Typically, if the site will be down for maintenance, they are really great about communicating that to their users.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Lexis Advance really allows my office to complete legal research quickly and accurately. I can save searches and come back to my research at a later date in the event I am disrupted or need/want to stop for the night. It also allows me to save cases in a folder under the matter name I'm working on or the topic of the cases so I can come back to all of the law at a later time if I have the same issue arise.
