[blindlaw] westlaw

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

One of the attorneys that I contract with uses Lexis Nexus for his on line 
research and as I use the attorney's research tools I have used Lexis Nexus 
with haws and had no problem. However, my preference is for Westlaw , I 
guess probably because it is what I first learned with when research done by 
blind lawyers students or paralegals was done in the stacks of a law library 
with a reader. Of course, it has gotten better since then.
