Is Lexis or Westlaw better??
What will be an ideal response?
Because Lexis and Westlaw compete head on, they provide similar services. The formats are somewhat different, and there are differences in the specialty publications offered.Some users prefer one of these, but that may be largely a matter of which program they have learned to use. A survey done in 2008 by the law library at Stanford University showed that most large law firms subscribe to both services, allowing research staff to choose the one they prefer. When asked which system they would pick if allowed only one service, 245 respondents said Westlaw, and 89 picked Lexis. By similar margins, however, respondents said that legal researchers could switch between the systems and use KeyCite orShepard'sto accomplish the same tasks. So although Westlaw appears to have pulled ahead of Lexis as the dominant seller of premier online services, both do the task well.?

Rick located Rena when the baby was born and served her with a summons in the paternity proceeding he filed. A DNA test established a 99.98 percent probability of paternity. Rick served Rena with interrogatories, which she refused to answer. At the trial Rick testified concerning his sexual relations with Rena and offered the DNA report in evidence. Rena did not take the witness stand. The court should:
a. Compel Rena to answer the interrogatories and allow Rick to call Rena as a witness. b. Refuse to accept the HLA report in evidence since it does not exclude Rick as father. c. Accept the report in evidence, refuse to compel Rena to answer the interrogatories, refuse to allow Rick to call Rena as a witness, and draw an unfavorable inference against Rena based on her failure to deny that she had sexual intercourse with Rick at the time of the child’s conception. d. Accept the DNA report in evidence but draw no inferences whatsoever from Rena’s refusal to answer the interrogatories and failure to testify.
