You can select jurisdictions and whether you want to access case law, statutes, or regulations. You can get authority from all state and federal jurisdictions.

What isn't there to like about it? Any issue you can think of, you can find at a minimum, guidance, but usually it's that and so much more. It's easy to use and has been a huge time saver for me.

Not every subject matter is covered by practice law, for example immigration.
