ADVERTISEMENTS

Fastcase is among the legal vendors who are jumping to develop apps for Apple's white-hot iPad tablet computer and its iPhone. The Washington, D.C., company says its namesake app helps users search its libraries of state and federal case law and statutes. Users can conduct keyword or Boolean searches.

Feisty Fastcase is gaining traction as a low-cost alternative to Thomson Reuter's Westlaw and LexisNexis' namesake research services. In our July LTN cover story, "Help Please!," we examined the results of the 2010 Law Technology News Vendor Satisfaction Survey. Of 147 respondents commenting on LexisNexis, 26.5% said they were "very likely to recommend" the research service to peers; of 181 respondents, 20.4% said the same about Westlaw. But of the eight respondents ranking Fastcase, half gave it that "very" same thumbs up.

Check out the upcoming August issue of Law Technology News for more information on the Fastcase for the iPad.
