Fossum Home: http://www.thelaw.net Subscribe: http://www.thelaw.net/subscribe.htm Remove: http://www.thelaw.net/remove.htm The reviews are in and TheLaw.net is saving subscribers tons of time and money by offering a new way to solve old research problems at a low, flat rate that's affordable to anyone. --AN INEXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVE Noted law cybrarian Genie Tyburski writes that "[t]he busy sole practitioner...may find TheLaw.net an inexpensive alternative to Lexis or Westlaw and a helpful index to select legal information sites." Says a practitioner from Colorado: "I found it easy to use (certainly easier than Lexis/Westlaw)." Our subscribers in larger environments have found that TheLaw.net is the perfect complement to any West or Lexis plan that may be limited to your jurisdiction or practice area; an addition that allows you to go outside that premium wine package and survey a significant subset of the universe without any transaction, printing, viewing or download hassles. --LEXIS BILL SLASHED BY 90% An intellectual property firm subscriber of ours in Chicago dropped us an email just last week to say that "[y]our concept is great....for the money there is no better bargain for legal research. Our Lexis bills have dropped to 10% of what they were before. Thanks!" Of course your results may vary, but for less than $25 a month annualized TheLaw.net gives you all the efficiency of electronic case law research without any of the conflicting emotions that come from a meter being held to your head. As the list below makes plain, TheLaw.net is indeed the world's best value for Federal and state appellate case law research whether you are at work, at home or on the road. And best of all, you get everything we have--all you can eat--for the same low, flat rate. --KEEPING UP WITH THE LAW AND THE INTERNET Everyone knows that in its raw form the Internet looks like a law library with the books all over the floor.
