Most MSBA members know that
the Bar provides Fastcase as a free legal research service as a member benefit.
Fastcase CEO Ed Walters will demonstrate the new Fastcase 7 platform, as well as
a host of cool new features that will help occasional researchers search like a
pro (and may teach pro researchers a few new tricks as well). From the Minnesota
Digest, auto-linking briefs, the topical tag cloud, or Bad Law Bot,
the world's first big data citator, there's a little something new
for everyone. Fastcase is a nationwide legal research service that normally costs $995 per year,
provided by the MSBA for free as a member benefit - find
out how to use this powerful tool to supercharge your
practice (without a super charge to your bottom line).
This CLE is approved for
credit through November 30, 2019.
