I've got a more nuts-and-bolts concern. Is LexisNexis a good idea for a contract lawyer? The smaller local firms won't want to pay for wasted time in the library when I could be spending a fraction of the time online (therefore charging less billables). The Colorado Bar offers Casemaker for free to all its members, but the research system is incomplete (missing cases, no Shepardizing, etc.). This makes me worried that I might have missed a key case. Cheaper alternative systems like Loislaw present the same concerns. You can get a basic research package from Lexis for under $200. But even that fixed expense is quite steep for a beginning practitioner. If I'm serious about marketing my research skills, do I need LexisNexis? Nice post.
