[blindlaw] FastCase

[Mike Gilmore]

Fastcase is OK; but, I prefer WL. I would say that Fastcase is a basic search whereas you get a lot more with WL. Fastcase is included in my bar membership (and I know other jurisdictions do the same thing.) The frustrating thing about Fastcase is there's not a particular search for solely U.S. Supreme Court cases; you have to pick all Federal courts which can be very tedious. I hope this helps.

What experience have people had with FastCase, as a low-cost legal research
alternative to Lexis or Westlaw?  Effective? Reliable? Intuitive? How
accessible is the program via JAWS? Do they offer online tutorials and user
guides that are accessible? If the blind user seeks guidance by phone, do
they have reps sufficiently familiar with creen reader functions that they
can walk you through the processes?



Any experiences or thoughts that you have to share are much appreciated.
Thank you.
