When LexisOne was first announced, Lexis promised to offer free research in state and federal appellate cases within the last five years.

I surfed over to Amazon to get some information about a book — verifying author / title information and so forth is a lot easier on Amazon than the usual governmental places — and came across this Jeff Bezos “letter” about a new Amazon feature. For $79 a year, you get “free” two business [...]
