Using online research tools

Integration with LexisNexis online content allows you to easily perform context-specific searches for people, organizations, issues, and case law.

 

Research menus are available on the following spreadsheets:

All Objects
Persons
Organizations
Issues
Research - Authorities
Research - Authorities and Extracts

 

Research menus are accessible in two places for the same record:

Full Name field by clicking the drop-down menu CM_research_menu_cell
Standard toolbar by clicking on the Research button CM_research_menu_button

The same menu is accessed from both locations. Research menus differ depending on which type of case record you are working on. For example, the Research menu options for the Authorities spreadsheet are different than those for the Organizations spreadsheet.
