    Chose Lexis+
    Lexis Advance has a better interface, is easier to use, and is more visually appealing.

    Chose Lexis+
    I prefer Westlaw's offerings.

    Chose Lexis+
    I switched from Westlaw because the new Lexis Advance platform seemed more intuitive and I found more cases on point than searching in Westlaw.

    Chose Lexis+
    Much less costly than Westlaw, often half the cost or even less. The secondary sources are much more difficult to trudge through on Lexis than on Westlaw. The Shepherdizing system is world class on Lexis. It's fine on Westlaw, too. Ultimately we selected Lexis for the time that …

    Chose Thomson Reuters Westlaw
    Like I said earlier, I previously used Lexis as the legal research tool. I did like Lexis because it was very easy to navigate, and you were able to utilize their Shepherds tool for case citations. However, I felt that their bank or library of cases, legal standards or …

    Chose Thomson Reuters Westlaw
    Westlaw mobile is much easier to use than Lexis Advance. Further, Westlaw saves or remembers ones preferences for legal research. Lexis on the other hand does seem to have more "guide" content and maybe even more access to state related topics, though it may be possible that …
