Does the DOJ (and the Fed gov in general) use Lexis or Westlaw?

[5141844]

I'll be working at the Department of Justice this summer and I wanted to brush up on my research skills before I begin.  Anyone know if the Federal Gov generally uses Lexis vs. Westlaw?

[thorc954]

my experience: Lexis.

DOJ has contracts with both.

Do you know if all of the fed gov uses both? I like to alternate between the two, and remembered to sign up for Lexis' free deal if you're working for the government, but didn't do it for west law.

I really don't know.  I would assume most large agencies would have contracts with both companies...

Isn't this a pretty easy question to ask the person that hired you?

I was at a US Attorney's Office last summer and had access to both.

The federal courts have access to both.

I have access to both as a DOJ (ENRD) employee.
