Palawlibrary, Phila. Bar Reach Deal |

The Legal Intelligencer Published: June 20, 2003 Palawlibrary - the most comprehensive and thorough online legal research service dedicated to Pennsylvania law - has reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Bar Association, one of the nation’s oldest and most distinguished bar associations, to provide specially priced subscriptions to this online service as well as other benefits to bar association members. The agreement was reached earlier this month. It is the second signed agreement between a bar association and palawlibrary.com, an online service resulting from a strategic alliance between the Jenkins Law Library and American Lawyer Media-Pa. This new agreement represents a significant partnership between the legal research service and Pennsylvania’s largest county bar association. “The Philadelphia Bar Association is delighted to join with American Lawyer Media and Jenkins Law Library to provide this valuable and economical service to our members,” said Philadelphia Bar Chancellor Audrey C. Talley. “Palawlibrary is the only real research tool for county law. It fills a pressing need - a need that we have long wanted to fill for Philadelphia lawyers. “This new partnership brings together the power of ALM, Jenkins and the bar association to provide an in-depth research and information package tailored to the everyday needs of our members and presented as a real member benefit. We expect that Philadelphia Bar Association members will respond enthusiastically to this new service. We look forward to the continued growth and development of palawlibrary as part of our continuing plan to help our members advance professionally and personally.” Regina Smith, director of the Jenkins Law Library, commented, “We are delighted to be working with the Philadelphia Bar Association on this project. Our database, palawlibrary.com, is a great legal research tool. It was a pleasure to work with Chancellor Audrey Talley. Her initiative to provide a database program for bar members will now become a reality.” The agreement provides for a substantial discount to palawlibrary.com for bar association members. In return, the bar association will extensively market the product to its members. Marjorie Weiner, president of ALM-Pa., said, “Audrey Talley’s commitment to creating this benefit for bar association members is to be commended. Palawlibrary provides timely court cases and other critical legal information to its subscribers. We’re proud that our agreement with the Philadelphia Bar Association brings this product within easier reach to its members.” Palawlibrary.com is an integrated, Pennsylvania-focused legal research Web site that provides easy and inexpensive access to judicial opinions, trial listings, court rules, news archives from The Legal Intelligencer and Pennsylvania Law Weekly, and other legal information.
