Current Law Students / how does westlaw work?
« on: March 27, 2006, 11:40:25 AM »
so i've looked around a little bit and found some people talking about WestLaw and saying that it costs so much to use. I guess it doesnt matter to me now but I was wondering if people knew how schools and law firms use this and how they pay for it. Do schools get some type of discount using the service? also how do firms control the cost of their employees searches.
i'm just used to getting familar with computer systems by trial and error and simply using them for a good while until i understand the ins and outs of them. however, now that ive heard that westlaw searches can cost hundred(s) of dollars for a single search i doubt that i will be permitted to simply spend some time getting familar with the system.
how exactly does it work?
