Fastcase

Link: Fastcase. The Florida Bar has, for a year, provided free legal research for Florida case law and materials from FastCase. I admit that I prefer Versuslaw, but free is free, and I have been using Fastcase for legal research for six months now. I really like the service, and it prints cases in the same two column format found in law books. Today, I had occasion to search all 50 states, and subscribed to the Nationwide case law database. Normally, this service costs $995 a year from FastCase, but the Florida Bar deal allowed me to subscribe for $195 for a full year. What a bargain for the solo practitioner. Lobby your Bar for similar benefits. That is what dues are for. Solo law has access to the same resources long available only to wealthy large law firms. The Internet is the great equalizer. Use it.
