    Good Morning All-
    Last week, I received the following email:
    "I am the Research Associate for Rocket Lawyer, based in San Francisco. I saw the Charlotte School of Law Library's website, and I think that RocketLawyer.com would be a useful addition to your "reference links" section.

    RocketLawyer.com offers a wide assortment of legal help articles online, which is a completely free resource. In addition, Rocket Lawyer has over 200 legal documents online, and anyone can create legal documents in minutes using our easy step by step interview process. It's a great resource for law students who need practice working with legal forms, or for any student in need of a basic legal document, like an apartment lease or a living will. We also have an extensive directory of lawyers, allowing people to find an attorney when needed. Our partners include Lexis Nexis and H&R Block, among others.

    I hope you find this information helpful. If you would like more information about RocketLawyer.com, please contact me at rjohnson@rocketlawyer.com<mailto:rjohnson@rocketlawyer.com> or (415) 722-5660.

    Sincerely,
    Rin Johnson
    Research Associate"

    I'm curious if any other librarians or libraries have been solicited in a similar way by this company? If so, and you currently use RocketLawyer, how well does the service work, what kind of usage is there by students and faculty, how user-friendly is the site, and what is the quality of the free vs. subscribed to information contained in the resource. If you have any information or opinions on this resource, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

    Kind Regards-
