But, they hired LexisNexis to produce an annotated code, and Public Resource is blatantly copying all the annotations.

Dig through [1], [2] and do a precedent search on LexisNexis or Findlaw if you're really interested.

If you reduce the vast tedium of researching stuff in Westlaw/LexisNexis, you can spend more time on your research memo.

The LexisNexis breach alone is a disaster, they're basically data-miners with exclusive access to personal details.

The potential value of this offering is great but it is nowhere close to competing with LexisNexis/Westlaw in its current form.

The big boys (Westlaw and LexisNexis) and the other guys (FastCase, Bloomberg, etc.) provide a lot more than case text and search capability.

So, for research farther back, LexisNexis will be needed to find transcripts only.

And Westlaw and LexisNexis have done a pretty good job with those.

I don't know how LexisNexis Westlaw are going survive now that Google is giving away a huge chunk of their services.

I've always thought a good starting point would be to hook up Watson or similar software up to LexisNexis or Westlaw.

Use the given demographic data and LexisNexis to deanonymize the data.

Ultimately, in the future legal search is not going to be a money maker, and Westlaw and LexisNexis will take a big hit when free happens.

I know such a thing as a "driving record" exists probably supplied by a company such as LexisNexis.

I'm sure much of this data comes from them purchasing it from other sources (companies that go out of business, LexisNexis, other "partners").

It's a shame so many entrepreneurs have been deluded by the appeal of "disruption." Here's a Y Combinator example: Casetext says it is "disrupting" the legal research market dominated by Westlaw and LexisNexis[1].
