eLaw launches Cases & Statutes, a reliable alternative to traditional, expensive research for New York and New Jersey legal professionals
NEWARK, N.J., July 7, 2010 — eLaw, the single source of critical knowledge for busy legal professionals, announces the launch of its newest product offering, eLaw Cases & Statutes. Powered by CasemakerTM, Cases & Statutes is a comprehensive legal research tool available to attorneys in New York and New Jersey that provides case law and statutes for all 50 states dating back more than 150 years. eLaw Cases & Statutes is offered as a stand-alone or in combination with eLaw's other popular products for as little as $25 per month, a fraction of the cost of most traditional legal research. Subscriptions are available at http://www.eLaw.com.
For decades attorneys and their support staff have had to rely on only a few companies to provide the quality of legal research necessary to ensure their ability to practice with confidence. As a result, the cost of that research has continually risen, forcing legal professionals to build the overhead into their hourly rates or billing it back to clients. Recognizing the need for quality alternatives to traditional legal research products at an affordable price, eLaw has partnered with Casemaker to deliver the same reliable library of data at a substantially lower price than most legal professionals in New York and New Jersey are paying today.
eLaw chose Casemaker, a leader in providing legal research, as its partner for delivering Cases & Statutes because of Casemaker's depth and breadth of content and its ease of use. Simple search features allow users to perform research easily, quickly, and confidently. Statutes, codes and rules can be browsed or searched using keywords, with searches narrowed based on related words and phrases. Each case displayed also shows when the case was cited in other opinions in both state and federal courts nationwide.
The program's multi-state case law search feature allows users to search the entire nationwide case law library or individually selected state and/or federal library contents simultaneously, with just one click. This eliminates the need to repeat searches in different libraries.
eLaw Cases & Statutes contains an extensive federal law library, including but not limited to:
- Federal District Court & U.S. Bankruptcy Court Opinions – Nationwide
- U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Opinions – All Circuits
- U.S. Supreme Court Opinions
- Federal Court Rules and Procedure (Civil, Criminal, Bankruptcy and Appellate)
- U.S. Code and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
- U.S. Tax Court Opinions and IRS Revenue Rulings
- Court of Claims, International Trade, NTSB, Veterans and Armed Forces
The New York and New Jersey libraries feature:
- New York Court of Appeals cases from 1847 to present
- New York Appellate Division cases from 1896 to present
- New York Miscellaneous Reports from 1892 to present
- New Jersey cases, all courts, from 1930 to present
- New Jersey Workers Compensation decisions from 1999 to present

eLaw Cases & Statutes libraries are continuously updated. New cases and statutory amendments are available online within seven days of their official release date. The product's content and search functionality are comparable to competitive legal research products, but offered by eLaw for a drastically lower price. Free trial subscriptions are offered, and unlimited subscriptions are available for as low as $25 per month.
"Our subscribers have been searching for alternatives to the expensive giants of the legal research market such as Westlaw and Lexis Nexis, and their myriad of hidden fees and elaborate search routines that can confound and frustrate users," said Jerry Krivitzky, CEO of eLaw. "In Casemaker, we have selected a partner who shares our view that lawyers need not be 'Google savvy' to do competent legal research, and just as importantly, that they needn't pay high monthly charges for access to what is essentially free public information."
