NYT & PACER: An Effort to Upgrade a Court Archive System to Free and Easy

I love PACER. Heck, I even had a dream about it this week. Yes, it could be improved, especially its search capabilities. But I use it in conjunction with CourtLink and Justia; I'll be using it all day today for a project.

Swapping Lexis for Loislaw for Non-Billable Research?

This post describes one firm's switch from Lexis to Loislaw for all non-billable online research. I'd wager many firms have similar policies, perhaps in existence for several years. I worked for a firm that required partner sign-off for all billable online legal research. Any one care to share his or her own experiences regarding this set-up? I know there have been many discussions on law-lib about using Lexis or Westlaw exclusively.
