This week was a good week for Westlaw points. I attended three training courses that awarded me a total of 450 Westlaw points. The trainer even provided free Chick-fil-a at one the courses. I ate the crap out of the chicken nugget platter.

I’ve started to take Lexis Points more seriously. While the points are hard to earn, the possibility of a free dinner at Chili’s motivates me to do their Fact or Fiction trivia each day. It’s kind of a pain to have to go through their research system to get points; however, I admit that I’ve learned more about Lexis by doing it.

Westlaw Points: 4,820
Lexis Points: 520 (Boo…)

I don’t have near the Westlaw point you do. Our Lexis rep does a much better job of courting us, I think. I do have almost 2000 LexisNexis points and I’ve learned a lot about doing research surprisingly by doing their little tutorials and filling in the reps monthly contest stuff.

frillgirl-
That’s funny. Our Lexis rep has done a horrible job promoting their service. The last time I saw him offer any training was at 1L orientation.

Good job on the Lexis Points. Are you saving up for anything in particular?
