“ 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.”
