--ONLY THELAW.NET DELIVERS THE LAW AND THE NET TO YOUR DESKTOP

     The list of critical Internet-only resources that appear nowhere on West 
and Lexis' radar--buried under the weight of two billion web pages--is 
exhaustive. Attorneys, paralegals and librarians know this. That's why we are 
always hunting and pecking around online in search of resources that we are 
sure must be there...if only we could find them. But the stark reality is 
that:

--in its raw form, the Net looks like a library with the books all over the 
floor
--getting around online is a big hassle, even for experts
--it makes no sense for everyone in the law office to be wasting time 
negotiating their way around the Internet differently

     Until now, no end-to-end mass customization software solution for 
accessing web-based documents and databases has emerged for the online law 
office. Such standards and best practices have been a long time coming, but 
they are here today and affordable to all with TheLaw.net.
