<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Ugh. Legal research can be such a drag if you don’t have good tools to help you. Fastcase is one of the largest online law libraries in the world. It contains case law, statutes, regulations, court rules, constitutions, and law review articles.
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">But the best part is that all State Bar members automatically receive Fastcase access as a membership benefit. Nice perk, eh?
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Getting the most out of Fastcase</strong> <br />
With simple and advanced search options, Fastcase helps busy users like you sift through the clutter. It ranks the best cases first and enables you to re-sort results to find answers fast. Here are some tips for quickly locating the case you need.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>By Party Name:</strong> Type the party names into either the simple or advanced search. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>By Keyword</strong>: In advanced search, enter your keywords with Boolean terms such as AND, OR, or NOT. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>By Citation</strong>: Enter the case’s volume number, reporter abbreviation, and first page number into the simple or advanced search. </p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Once you receive your search results, you can organize them in different ways:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Sort:</strong> Click on any column heading to sort by that criteria. Want them in chronological order? Click on the “Decision Date” column. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Filter by Jurisdiction:</strong> Using the “Jurisdiction Filter” on the results page, select the jurisdiction you want from the drop-down menu. </p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Make it your own</strong> <br />Fastcase is easy to personalize. It tracks what you search for and uses that information to tweak your user interface, making your research more efficient.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Recently Searched Jurisdictions</strong>: In advanced search, Fastcase will auto-populate the “Recently Searched Jurisdictions” area with the last five jurisdictions you selected. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Last 10 Searches:</strong> Fastcase saves your prior 10 searches on the advanced search page. Click on any of the listed searches to be taken directly to the results. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Recently Viewed Documents in My Library:</strong> Fastcase automatically tracks the last 10 documents you viewed and stores them in your personalized library for easy access. </p>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Long-term care insurance (LTCI) helps offset the cost of a broad range of services needed for extended periods of time due to a chronic illness or disability. These costs vary depending on the services needed and can quickly deplete an estate.

In addition to members and their spouses, this discount is available to parents of members and their spouses. Employees of law firms and their spouses are also eligible for this discount.

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">"You will not flinch when clear distinction is between what is right and wrong. You will fight bigotry of all kinds both around you and more importantly still, in the recesses and reflexes of your own mind. You will have the courage to confront the axis of evil: arrogance, ignorance and hate. And you will have the wisdom to recognize the best in others while always demanding the best from yourselves." </p>
