Lexis vs. Thomson Reuters Practical Law

Lexis is well-suited to locating case documents, especially trial court documents in state courts, that are otherwise hard to find elsewhere. The system is way more efficient than searching individual state court dockets. So it improves my efficiency.

PracticalLaw offers excellent Practice Notes, Checklists, Precedents, and Toolkits for a variety of practice areas - which is very helpful to in-house counsel and law clerks that are working on files across different practice areas. Less appropriate when there are already many resources available to me to help in drafting documents - then there is not much use to look up PLC.

I think it is very usable. I do wish that the AI was better and I could rely on it more. Often, I find that Claude does a better job of getting case law research than Protoge does. But for basic case searches, research, and investigation, I find that it is easy to use

Lexis has the history that iWave does not. Plus it has the legal search. The business search is better in terms of News (iWave doesn't have one), but iWave does a better job of aggregating more useful sites. Also, iWave has philanthropic gifts, which is useful to us. We actually use both and would make a stink if we had to choose

Lexis Practice Advisor is an excellent alternative - but Practical Law has more comprehensive coverage of topics and practice areas - as well as more frequent updates to tools and checklists. Also, Practice Law integrates well with WestLaw which is great for having all the legal research and files centralized.
