Lexis for Microsoft Office is a plugin that lets you access the best of Lexis Nexis while drafting legal documents using Microsoft office. There are many advantages to this plug-in. The major advantage of Lexis for Microsoft Office is that it saves you time. It does this by cutting down on time spent formatting and providing you with quick access to research and precedent.

The document tools will allow you to check citation, quotes and create a table of authority

First, it will check your citations to let you know if they have been formatted correctly. Within this tool you can shepardize your citations in real-time to determine whether or not you want to include the source, or find other sources. You can also use the "get cited docs" function to access Shepard’s information from Lexis and it will suggest additional sources, in addition to providing you with a Shepard's analysis of your cited source.One of the best features is “cases,” which allows you to locate precedent or sample docs. You can access cases, briefs, etc. from the right hand display panel and drag and drop.It also provides you acces to “Guidance,” which is great for transactional attorneys looking for resources. however, the search and display tools are underrated. The search and display tools allow you to conduct research while you are drafting your document.Basically, you can search from the document without opening up a new browser. The point is , I think, to cut down on distraction.There are other tools that I used sparingly like the pdf convert, or accessing practical guidance, both of which are super useful when you are practicing and need to convert a doc into a pdf for court etc.

These features really worked well for me and I am sure that they will work well for anyone who is familiar with the Lexis ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Table of Authorities function is designed to create or update a table of authorities in seconds. Basically, the software reviews your doc to create a table of authorities with appropriate page numbers.

You will have to work on the formatting of the table of authority that Lexis creates for you,but otherwise it is a really helpful feature. Moreover, the feature does allow you to format according to the specifications of your court, firm, or professor, so it is a helpful and timesaving tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
