Lexis Nexis is a powerful tool. See description from wikipedia -
LexisNexis Group is a corporation providing computer-assisted legal research services.[2][3] During the 1970s, LexisNexis pioneered the electronic accessibility of legal and journalistic documents.[4] As of 2006, the company has the world's largest electronic database for legal and public-records related information.[5]
Our program has decided to implement it into our Law 12, 13, 17 and 34 classes to train our paralegals with this tool, and to make them more employable once they graduate. As part of the package that students purchase, they can take several modules and become lexis certified (again a great opportunity, but voluntary and NOT required as part of this class) -
Although it is listed as a textbook by the bookstore, what you purchase is access to the tool. We will have assignments using lexis, and you need to purchase it. Here is how you do that.
