Does anybody know of any CD ROMs that contain legal reporters, such as the Federal supplement? David 71210,1150

David, There is a growing gaggle of legal reporter CD-ROMs available in California. Publishers include Bancroft Whitney, West Publishing (soon), Law Disc and Matthew Bender. Most of them cost a small fortune. — EVAN

Hi David, If you really mean Fed Supp itself, with the West key numbers, squibs and case headers, that's copywritten material and would be available only from West or a licensee. I haven't heard that it's available, but you could check with West in Minnesota (Minneapolis, I think). There are other CD-ROMs available with the full text of cases, generally in specific areas of law, such as tax, and from specific jurisdictions, e.g., states. I think one of the regulars here puts out a CD-ROM for New Hampshire or Vermont, in fact. There is a Matthew Bender add for its Personal Injury series in the October issue of the ABA Journal. If you find out more, I'd be interested to know the upshot. Joe

David, We publish the New Hampshire Reports (the real thing <g> not a West 'Reporter') on CDROM, along with statutes and a bunch of other yankee goodies. Vermont is on the RSN list. 603-446-7979 The only Federal CDROM I'm aware of is Hyperlaw, which is Supreme Court slip opinions. 800-825-6521. Tell Alan I said he should hang out here rather than LawSig<smile>. There are several states published on CD–let me know which ones you're interested in, and I may be able to help you. Frank
