    Chose Thomson Reuters Westlaw
    Lexis offers many of the same cases, but, in my opinion, the user interface is miserable, I get struck on plain search language, and I find it much more different to see citing references.

    stacks up very well with competitors and chose Westlaw as I had prior experience with the product.

    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 …

    We considered switching to Bloomberg Law because of the contractual provisions with Westlaw but ultimately decided to stay. The cost of getting out of the contract term was cost-prohibitive and left us with no choice.

    Chose Thomson Reuters Westlaw
    I picked WestLaw because they had better secondary sources for my immigration law practice. I've also used WestLaw a lot more over the years so I am more comfortable with the interface. Lexis is slightly cheaper but not meaningfully so. Again, lawyers are stuck between a rock …

    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 …

    Chose Thomson Reuters Westlaw
    Hands down, WestLaw is the one tool to use. As I said before, you can use WestLaw as your go-to tool, giving you the ability to close subscriptions to other costly tools. WestLaw covers all the bases, allowing you to conduct your legal research in one place.

    Chose Thomson Reuters Westlaw
    Thomson is more user-friendly; easier to use and a much cheaper alternative. Also, Thomson's customer service is head and shoulders above the competition; always available and intelligent.
