RSS feeds on LexisLibrary
Appeal Tracker More relevant results New online content New precedent source on LexisLibrary Top Tip! Did you know? RSS feeds on LexisLibrary RSS feeds are now available on pre-set updates existing on LexisLibrary! The distinctive orange RSS icons can be found on most practice area pages. Our RSS feeds gather frequently updated content published on LexisLibrary and provide a central place for all that information to be viewed. By clicking on the orange icons, you can see the latest information on that topic ranging from the latest cases to the latest news since you last visited the feed. RSS takes the effort out of manually searching for up-to-date materials, increasing your efficiency and ensuring you don’t miss a trick. We’ve got more RSS plans for LexisLibrary in 2010 too! Next year, not only will you have RSS feeds on pre-set updates but we’re planning on making it possible to set up your own user-defined RSS feeds. Making it easier for you to keep up-to-date so you won’t miss a beat! Log in to LexisLibrary Appeal Tracker We are pleased to announce that Appeal Tracker is now live on LexisLibrary! The ability to track prospective cases will save valuable time searching for appeal information, quickly alert you to those potential appeals and keep you informed of any update in the appeal decision process. In cases of legal interest which are appealable to the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal or to the Supreme Court, Appeal Tracker will tell you whether or not a case is being appealed and, if it is, what stage the case is at in the appeal process. This information is gathered by our team of dedicated law reporters, doing the hard work for you! Appeal Tracker is an enhancement to CaseSearch. It will be an additional table added to the bottom of CaseSearch outlining the dates and steps of the appeal process. An Appeal Tracker icon will appear in the toolbar at the top of a full-text case report which is appealable and you can link directly to the additional table in CaseSearch and view information about the appeal decision process. Log in to LexisLibrary To improve the relevancy of your search results you can choose to sort your results list by relevance rather than source order by selecting this as your default. If you go to the Preferences link in the top right hand corner of any LexisLibrary page, select the Search and Results tab, go to the Results Sorting section and select Relevance from the My Default Sort Order dropdown-list and then click on Save.
This default will apply to the “search all sources” on the practice area pages i.e. if you have pre-selected preference as your default, then run a search across your practice area sources, results will come back in relevance order.
It’s a great alternative option for our users to take advantage of!
New online content Clarke: Offshore Tax Planning (Available on menus including Tax Library and Trusts Offshore) This source provides practical analysis of the planning opportunities for investment offshore through analysis of anti-avoidance legislation, extended treatment of non-domiciliaries and an examination of existing offshore structures.
The practical nature of this source makes it an invaluable guide for accountants, solicitors and financial advisers handling the affairs of private clients and privately-owned businesses while annual publication ensures it is both up-to-date and relevant.
Log in to LexisLibrary New precedent source on LexisLibrary We’ve added another precedent source from a key commentary title, bringing the total number of new precedent sources for 2009 to 11, making searching for precedents much more straightforward! The latest precedent source to be added is: Butterworths Planning Law Service Precedents
Where this work forms part of your subscription, you will see now the new separated precedents listed in the directory below the main work itself. This means that you can easily search and browse this precedent collection, and that searches you run on ‘All Subscribed Forms & Precedents Sources’ will return results from this title as well. You can find these new sources by using the ‘Find a Source’ option in Quick Find. For example, search for "planning" to bring back the authoritative title as well as the precedents. It couldn’t be easier!
Easier searching for Supreme Court cases!
On the Cases search form we’ve added the Supreme Court to the Court dropdown, to acknowledge the advent of the new court and to make locating relevant cases quicker and easier for you!
It is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas day!
In the 17th century, the English Parliament under Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas pudding, mince pies and anything to do with feasting and revelry. He considered such indulgence immoral on what was supposed to be a holy day. That law has never been rescinded so mince pies are still technically illegal!
Wishing you a Happy Christmas and a prosperous, healthy New Year from all at LexisNexis. What do you want to hear about?
