I don't know if this is directly on point, but you might want to get some
of West's brochures entitled "How Online Research Helps Our Firm

West and discussing the advantages of Westlaw over manual research, it is
equally applicable to Lexis or any other methods of CALR. It's West
product 3-9250. It might help.
