While in law school, you have been lucky to have unlimited access to WestlawNext, LexisNexis Advance, Bloomberg Law, and other databases without having to worry about the cost. Non-academic employers rarely have this kind of unlimited access. These are amazingly rich resources but they are also expensive. It is this expense that makes it so important to know about low-cost and free sources for the law.
