CD-ROMs are thrifty in research; CDs represent a less expensive alternative to online searching

Article Abstract:

Law firms should invest in CD-ROM technology as well as Internet access and the traditional online legal information services. CD-ROMs are usually less expensive in direct costs and time lost than the alternatives, an important consideration as legal clients give closer scrutiny to their bills. Though CD-ROM is hardly new, falling equipment costs and interest in multimedia are driving an explosion in content for the legal as well as the home market. Some new CD-ROM drives can also write to the discs.

Web access to courts

Article Abstract:

The Internet is the ideal spot for providing up-to-date legal information and courts should publish information on their own official Web sites. Technology has increased the public's access to legal information and, depending on a judicial decision's subject matter, laypeople might be interested to. Respectable legal publishers' printed newsletters and e-mail case digests are often behind and the Internet does not seem to have such problems.
