What a giant leap forward! Lexis/Nexis has signed contracts with prisons to make computerized legal research available to prisoners. For these prisoners, it means an end to outdated lawbooks, often with missing pages. Lexis is up to the minute, and for a non-lawyer, much easier to use than a law book. The prisoner can type in a subject to search for rather than leafing through volumes whose organizational framework is a mystery. This also saves prisons a lot of money as books are more expensive.
