I love Westlaw but my boyfriend swears by LexisNexis – we can’t stop fighting about it. Please help us settle this dispute before we break up forever, I’m worried he’s going to leave me for Jade.
Case-by-Case Basis
Dear Case-By-Case
Life surely isn’t this black and white? Like the ANU Law Librarians taught us, we should be using a range of sources! Let your boyfriend teach you the inner workings of the LexisNexis Advanced Search and show him the magic of WestLaw’s extensive range of international sources. Soon enough, you will see that these databases aren’t oil and water – they are meant to meld together like a tasty bowl of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Trust me, it’s a winning combination!
Forever your Analogous Aunt,
Chilli Pepper Xx
