: The BIALL BlogShould Westlaw and Lexis be like Google?
The Out of the Jungle blog has written an interesting post called "Why Westlaw and Lexis should not be like Google" in it they discuss why LexisNexis and Westlaw should not try to be more like Google.The post identifies a number of reasons why Google type searching would not be appropriate for tools like LexisNexis or Westlaw. They include the following:
- Google flattens the world of information (it doesn't distinguish what type of information your searches are returning)
- While the goal of Google is to save you work, intellectual work is what lawyering is about, and what distinguishes the lawyer from the paralegal.
The author makes some interesting points in this post, which are well worth reading.
