Avantages :

Certaines modifications de sociétés sont parfois difficile à réaliser sans aide ou tutoriel.

The Best in the Business at Both Ends

Commentaires : Overall, Lexis is the industry leader in legal research and Microsoft Office is the industry leader in any kind of document typing or word processing. Therefore, the marriage of the two has created an experience that makes legal writing faster, more efficient, and with less distractions than ever before.

Avantages :

Takes the excellent legal research program LexisNexis and increases functionality with Microsoft Word. These two industry giants engaged in this way increases the efficiency of any legal document drafted. The ability to look up and cite cases within the Microsoft Word screen results in less hassle having to transcribe the information from one page or Lexis print-out to the Microsoft Word window. As well, the built in Shephard's citation tool will allow lawyers and students alike to ensure they are utilizing the most relevant information.

Inconvénients :

While the price of LexisNexis is high, if users own both LexisNexis and Microsoft Office subscriptions, this add-on is free to use. While it can be hard to learn at first, most of the features are intuitive. That said, like most Microsoft Office add-ons, all of the features of the LexisAdvance website are not available on Lexis for Microsoft Office, so it may still be necessary to pull up the website, such as when you have saved the relevant cases to a client folder and would like to pull them out of the folder.

Allows for More Efficient Drafting for Lawyers

Commentaires : Helps cut staff/attorney time when it came to formatting and finalizing legal briefs for filing.

Avantages :

I used LexisNexis for Office for a few years at my old firm and I really enjoyed having the specific legal tools available to me. For those who do not know, Lexis is a leading provider of legal research tools for lawyers (case law, pleadings, etc.). This application lets you do a few things that significantly cut costs for attorneys and their staff. Most notably, it will create the much-dreaded table of authorities that you need to include in your federal (and some state) briefs. In addition, it lets you integrate your legal research needs right into your draft document, which was helpful (but not critical).

Inconvénients :

Lexis is expensive and the Office add-on alone will likely not justify the cost for the vast majority of lawyers. But if you find yourself doing a fair amount of litigation and/or legal research, this would be a good tool to have.

This is a plugin for Word that is supposed to help you cite check legal briefs.

Avantages :

In theory this should help you and save you time if you have a Lexis account. It provides links to the cases cited, provides some cite checking and bluebooking assistance.

Inconvénients :

The cost is so high. While this comes with your subscription to Lexis, the cost of Lexis alone is so high.
