Not my favorite for legal research.
It is used as our primary legal research tool. Case law, shepardizing, court ruling, etc. It is also used for corporate and personal searches.
- Natural language search
- Skip tracing
- Navigation of the system
- It takes too long to use for research
I prefer Westlaw's offerings.

Lexis Advance Review
My firm uses Lexis Advance to perform legal research. Typically the platform is only accessed by the attorneys in the office, but sometimes it is also accessed by a paralegal. We have access to annotated statutes, cases, and practice guides. The practice guides are very helpful in not having to reinvent the wheel.
- I like the annotated statutes. That is typically where I start my searches.
- I seem to find more relevant case law on Lexis than I have through Westlaw.
- Their training and research attorneys are very helpful.
- We did have some billing questions once and they weren't quick to respond.
- Going outside of your subscription costs an arm and a leg.
- They have a lot of reps that don't offer the same package pricing.
- It's had a positive impact in finding more cases that are on point for my cases.
- It was actually cheaper than their competitor.
- The natural language search is better than the competitor.
I switched from Westlaw because the new Lexis Advance platform seemed more intuitive and I found more cases on point than searching in Westlaw.
Used Lexis Advance for legal research needs and to search for public record information on litigants, clients, witnesses, and other relevant parties. It was used by my entire law practice. It meets the needs of identifying applicable case law, ensuring precedents still valid and not overruled, and for finding key information about clients, potential clients, litigants, and other witnesses or relevant parties.
- Good public records search on individuals
- Shepherdizing is A++
- Decent logic in searching
- The notes from cases function is not as strong as other competitors
- Lacks some features that more novel sources use
- Costly
- Good ROI for finding debtors
- Good ROI for serving defendants in lawsuits (finding their location information)
- Good ROI for legal research, even though more costly than other options
Much less costly than Westlaw, often half the cost or even less. The secondary sources are much more difficult to trudge through on Lexis than on Westlaw. The Shepherdizing system is world class on Lexis. It's fine on Westlaw, too. Ultimately we selected Lexis for the time that we used it primarily based on cost and the public records search function.

Legal Research the Easy Way
We use Lexis Advanced at our law firm to perform legal research. Paralegals, Attorneys, and support staff all use Lexis Advanced. It allows us to narrow down research based on many filters including Court (Federal, State, District or Circuit), practice area or by preset categories. It is easy to use and the results are almost always reliable.
- Legal Research is top notch. The results are current and almost always relevant
- Filtering - Results can be filtered by State Court, Federal Court (and all districts), Practice area (Medial Malpractice, Mass Tort, Personal Injury etc ...)
- Availability - Lexis Advanced site is always up, I have never had any issues connecting to Lexis Advanced when I needed to research something
- There isn't much not to like about Lexis Advanced, but if I had to come up with something it would be that content sometimes takes a bit longer to appear than it does on Westlaw's similar product
- A subscription is costly
- Our return on investment is substantial, the product provides relevant research results in about half the time it would take doing manual research, saving us manhours and expenses.
Lexis Advance and Westlaw do the same thing and are very comparable. We actually use both. If Lexis Advanced doesn't have content we are looking for, it can usually be found in Westlaw. They compliment each other well. If I had to pick one over the other I would choose Lexis Advanced, but it's close.
