State Bar of Arizona to Provide Free Legal Research With Fastcase

By Leslie A. Pardo

ADVERTISEMENTS

The State Bar of Arizona has announced free access to the Fastcase legal research system as a membership benefit. The State Bar of Arizona is joining other state bars around the country to offer this service. Fastcase includes law from Arizona and all 50 states, as well as federal law, Boolean and natural language search functions, hyperlinked case citations as well as citatory utilities. Members can log in to the service through the website of the State Bar of Arizona, http://www.myazbar.org/. So why is this important to you? If you are graduating soon and plan to join the State Bar of Arizona you will have a powerful legal research tool at your fingertips for free. Fastcase does not replace Lexis and Westlaw because it does not have the depth, editorial annotations, and sophisticated search and linking features that both Lexis and Westlaw both provide. But employers are likely to require use of alternative free methods of researching or as a solo practitioner you could certainly benefit from this free resource.
