Please e-mail me or call (216)687-4894 and let me  know if you would like to attend.  I need to get the names of attendees to Casemaker two weeks before the session so that I can get temporary Casemaker passwords.

For those unfamiliar with Casemaker: it is a legal research database that comes free with Ohio State Bar Membership.  Many attorneys use it as a low cost alternative to LexisNexis or Westlaw.   It contains statutes and cases for all 50 states and the federal government.  For some states, such as Ohio, there are many more resources.  Some resources are unique to Casemaker and are not available on LexisNexis or Westlaw, such as  the Ohio Verdict Reporter and the Ohio State Bar Association Jury Instructions.There have been many enhancements to the product in recent years, so if you have not seen Casemaker in a while, you may want to come and take a look.
