Palawlibrary’s 5th Anniversary Special |
|
We are proud to announce the 5th anniversary of www.palawlibrary.com, a unique and important Pennsylvania legal research tool. Palawlibrary is “Your Home-Court Advantage” - providing easy and inexpensive access to over 43,000 Pennsylvania county court opinions, the most current court rules from all 60 judicial districts, verdicts and settlements, legal news and more. Palawlibrary is the result of a strategic alliance between Jenkins Law Library and the Pennsylvania division of American Lawyer Media (ALM). Jenkins coordinates and indexes the content, hosts the hardware, and handles the programming. ALM - publisher of the Pa District & County Reports, the Pennsylvania Law Weekly and The Legal Intelligencer - is the main content provider. The remaining material is contributed by judges, secretaries, law librarians, law clerks, court administrators, lawyers, and county bar associations throughout the state. Thanks to this incredible state-wide network, the number of common pleas court opinions has increased from 9,000 when we launched to over 43,000 opinions today. And after 5 years, we can proudly boast that www.palawlibrary.com has the most current court rules and opinions from all 60 Pennsylvania judicial districts. Try it free for 14 days! To commemorate palawlibrary’s 5th anniversary, we are also offering a 6 month promo for only $150. This is less than half the yearly single subscription rate and gives complete access to all the resources on the site. |
