     Subscribers to TheLaw.net's Custom Web Browser already know that the 
days of submitting solely to the "Wexis" duopoly are over.

     Why limit your options to cherry-picking subscription slices from the 
Wexis pay-per-view menu when TheLaw.net offers an all-you-can-eat, unlimited 
access buffet for under $25 a month annualized; a subscription that has as 
its centerpiece unlimited access to the largest searchable database of 
Federal and state appellate case law on the planet next to those provided by 
the big-two compusearchers. Personal Editions are just $295 a year. Annual 
Workgroup Editions are just $995 for the first five users.

--MORE THAN JUST CASE LAW
     Wexis, of course, offers us a vast array of high-quality resources, with 
many slick bells and whistles. But for most of us, these resources exist in 
name only and deviating from the plan usually means getting hammered with 
unwieldy transaction charges. In contrast, TheLaw.net puts cases, statutes, 
regulations, rules, forms, news, executive agency databases, legislative 
tracking tools, full-text law journals, a massive reference desk and Federal, 
state and local court resources just a click or two away on your desktop.

     As legal research and reference materials continue to migrate online the 
commercial value of this information bottoms out for the few who have the 
time and talent to find it scattered among the thousands of servers 
controlled by governments, academia and non-profits. For the rest of us, 
there's TheLaw.net

--NO RISK 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
     Your no risk Personal, Convenience or Workgroup Edition includes an 
unconditional 30 day money-back guarantee. Five attorneys in a firm or 
workgroup, for example, get unlimited use for an entire year for just $995; 
individual users for just $295. You'll be up and running in minutes and we 
can deliver your software today!
