It’s a bird … It’s a plane … No, it’s a West Reference Attorney!

Have you ever reached a research roadblock at 2 a.m.? If you have, you’re not alone. 

That’s why we have West Reference Attorneys to the rescue 24/7 to help you with any legal research need. In addition to our 1-800 number (which is 1-800-REF-ATTY for those of you who don’t yet have us on speed-dial), we’ve been blogging at westreferenceattorneys.com for about a year. 

The blog is not our typical 1:1 research support, but instead provides guidance on how to tackle trending legal research issues. Blog topics vary widely based on current events and the professional interests of our bloggers. In the past year, Reference Attorneys geeked out on RINs , Fracking Filings and Pre-Trial Social Media Issues, just to name a few. 

We hope that the blog serves the larger purpose of demystifying your most challenging research quandaries. And we’d like to hear from you! Let us know what your thorny research issues might be.  We hope to compile some of your thorniest for a document we’ll release on JD Supra th  this summer.  

So, what are they? 50-state surveys? Discovery disputes? Statutes of limitation? Administrative procedure?  Send a note to west.referenceattorneys@thomsonreuters.com and include “blog” in the subject line. 

Happy researching!
