Not All Web Browsers Are Created Equal
Legal research is an extension of online research, a professional undertaking that is quicker and more effective because of the convenience the Internet provides. In fact, the majority of legal information ' including case materials, judicial filings, court rulings, debates over precedent, law review articles, legislative findings and political exchanges ' is now available online. Gone are the days when only a handful of large law firms could access this content, supported by in-house personnel and librarians who had the expertise to sift through these materials. This shift, in both business and technology, represents the ongoing democratization of knowledge. Think of this movement as part of the rise of specialized research, complemented by the Web and delivered to attorneys worldwide. And yet, accessing this data depends on using the right browser; there must not be any attempt to sacrifice quality for some illusory promise. The bottom line: An excellent browser is essential for doing any kind of legal research.
