SYDNEY, 22 February 2010 – LexisNexis Australia, a leading provider of content-enabled workflow solutions, today unveiled a new web application named Mobile Case Search offering a full legal case search from mobile devices for the first time. The free service offered by LexisNexis may be used by anyone who is interested in searching for cases from their internet-enabled mobile phone.
Mobile Case Search combines LexisNexis content with search technology and offers users access to more than 177,000 full-text cases. The service has been designed specifically for mobile use and enables users to find and review cases when they don’t have easy access to a computer. The full-text of a case can be displayed on the phone or emailed to the user or others for later reference.
TJ Viljoen, Chief Executive Officer of LexisNexis Pacific, said, “In today’s fast-paced corporate world, our clients increasingly conduct legal research on-the-go. Mobile Case Search enables access to cases when our clients are out of the office or meeting with a client. This service demonstrates LexisNexis’ commitment to integrating leading-edge technology with our legal information to ensure lawyers are always one step ahead.”
Mobile Case Search offers users access to content from Unreported Judgments, which is derived from the High Court of Australia, Federal Court, Supreme Courts of all Australian states and territories, Family Court of Australia, Land & Environment (NSW), Takeovers Panel, Federal Magistrates Court, Administrative Appeals Tribunal, District Court NSW (selected cases) and District Court WA (selected cases). The content is updated frequently, with most High and Supreme Court cases added within 24 hours and most District Court cases within 92 hours. LexisNexis also plans to extend the content offering to encompass legislation in 2010.
