I use Loislaw.com for my bankruptcy database and use Lexis on a per
matter basis for other things. I have many of the Central District
Forms converted to WordPerfect and have created my own database of
merge documents that I can use and update when the District updates.
Look for my forms online soon!
I also had a similar issue with West Group, and when their attorneys
from the midwest threatened that I wouild never have access to
another database, I responded with an unfair business practices and
unfair competition letter that I copied the California Attorney
General on. I strongly believe that with only two legal databases
available - West and Lexis, and both being owned by foreign
companies, our esteemed Federal Anti-trust laws have screwed the
pooch. Every court and every state and federal office has both, and
probably at some discount, so why would our elected officials or the
high commander in charge of preserving competition give a rat's @#$
%! It seems to me that before the California voters eliminated the
private attorney general statute and the Pres. signed away the Class
Action option, we may have had a good case to break up both West and
Lexis, but who knows now!!
Just a few thoughts on a Sunday afternoon.
