“ The use of WestlawNext has allowed

us to bring more matters in-house ...

and we have all that research there,

so it doesn’t have to be done again.

We’re not recreating the wheel every

time we get a new claim.”

“ [WestlawNext] differentiates us. My

lawyers go in confi dent that they

have the right case on point that will

address the legal issues in a timely

fashion in a much more thorough

way than our adversaries.

“ At 3:00 in the morning when I’m

doing a brief, I don’t want to second

guess what I’m pulling up and I don’t

want to wade through 100 cases to

fi nd the one case that WestlawNext

would’ve pulled up fi rst or second on

the batting list.”

“ It’s just a beautiful program. That’s

what I say to everyone.”

“ We recommend our outside counsel use it ... If an outside fi rm is using

WestlawNext their bid will probably come in lower than other fi rms, and that

would infl uence our decision to choose them. We can trust that outside fi rms

using WestlawNext are going to get the right answer and it’s going to be the

right information. I would recommend that they use WestlawNext because I

want them to see the same effi ciencies and cost savings that we’re seeing. And I

think it will help them have a more reliable work product at a quicker pace.”
