One of the benefits of being a member of both the Oklahoma Bar Association and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys is that both organizations provide their members with free access to Fastcase.
Fastcase is a web-based legal research service that is a welcome alternative for solo attorneys like myself to LexisNexis and Westlaw, both of whom not long ago were the only online legal research options available. And they charged accordingly.
And now Fastcase has upped the ante by releasing a FREE iPhone app. Now attorneys like myself who use the iPhone can access Fastcase’s libraries even when we’re not in front of our computers.
Fastcase libraries include cases, statutes, regulations, court rules, and constitutions. Case law is available from all 50 states, as well as deep federal coverage going back to 1 U.S. 1, 1 F.2d 1, 1 F.Supp. 1, and 1 B.R. 1.
Fastcase’s libraries are searchable, just like you search the Web or traditional legal research services – by keyword (or “Boolean” search), natural language search, or citation lookup.
For some good information on Fastcase’s iPhone app, read this review written by Massachusetts attorney Robert Ambrogi.
