This is really a shame. I think it's an excellent set. It's one of my
favorite research tools in the library. One of the nice things about it
is that it's so simple to use, but it sounds like it's not going to be so
simple anymore. It has been a very worth competitor to Am.Jur.Proof of
Facts and Am.Jur.Trials.
