    ThomsonReuters is actually suing George Mason University (the makers of Zotero) for breach of contract based on claims that Zotero is based on patented technology of Endnote:

    Hi, Sibyl,

    If I am remembering correctly, EndNote is a Reuters product. I can't imagine that ThomsonReuters would look favorably on any Westlaw / Zotero compatibility. I don't know about Lexis, though.

    I hope this helps!

    Best,

    I was wondering if anyone out there has had any luck getting Zotero (Firefox extension for reference/research management) to work with Westlaw or LexisNexis? When I am researching on wexis, Zotero does not seem to recognize it as savable research. I love Zotero but without it working with wexis, it is pretty much useless to me.
