LexisNexis launches Lexis Analytics, by Joe Hodnicki, Law Librarian Blog

https://llb2.com/2018/07/13/lexisnexis-launches-lexis-analytics/

Yesterday, LexisNexis launched Lexis Analytics. From the press release:

“The suite consists of new and enhanced products fueled by smart content from Lexis Advance and the strategic acquisitions of Lex Machina, Intelligize and Ravel Law, and integrates the most powerful technologies in the legal space, including machine learning, artificial intelligence (A.I.) and visualization tools.”

Interestingly, Thomson Reuter launched Westlaw Edge, West Search Plus, Analytics, Enhanced Citator and More, on the same day as the Lexis Advance launch. Joe Hodnicki believes that Westlaw Edge is more powerful and stiff competition to Lexis Advance. Those of you who use these products, what do you think? -CCE

If you have not noticed, there is a growing controversy with LexisNexis’ ethics and marketing practices. This affects all law schools, paralegal educators, and law firms that subscribe to LexisNexis. For a bit of the back story, see LexisNexis’ Next-Generation Solution Means End of Lexis.com at http://www.lawsitesblog.com/2016/12/last-rites-lexis-com-lexisnexis-sets-date-shutdown.html. Here is more to the point from Joe Hodnicki, who has been closely following the dialogue between LexisNexis and the AALL: https://llb2.com/2018/06/15/early-coverage-of-aall-lexisnexis-anticompetitive-tying-controversy/.

Thinking About Process Over Platform in Research, by Shawn Friend, RIPS Law Librarian Blog (RIPS Law Librarian is published by the Research Instruction & Patron Services Special Interest Section of the American Association of Law Libraries.)

This semester, I’ve struggled with whether I need to show different research platforms when I teach research. In the past, I’ve shown the different options available; lately, I have a bias I need to which I must admit.  For the last six months or so, I’ve had trouble showing students (and even professors) Lexis.  I hate to be partisan.  I hate to show Westlaw’s product without showing Lexis’ too.  But lately, I find myself making excuses as to why I can’t show Lexis Advance. . . .
