The New GlobalCite Makes Legal Research More Efficient!

At Loislaw, we are constantly looking for ways to streamline the research process and save you time. Most recently, the GlobalCite legal research citation tool has been enhanced by providing less steps to access information and enabling you to hone in on a topic of interest:

Pop-Up Box
A fully-featured Pop-Up Box will now appear with a complete summary of GlobalCite results at the document level. This will eliminate the extra step of clicking the GlobalCite button when viewing a case or other document to see if there are GlobalCite results, and will enable you to see an overview of the results at a glance (e.g. the number of cases, statutes, treatises or other documents that have cited the document you're viewing). There are even hyperlinks directly from the Pop-Up Box to the desired section of GlobalCite results; for example cases only. If no desired results are returned, this new feature will save you time by eliminating the need to click on the GlobalCite button and go down a level further to view the results.
Search within GlobalCite Results
When you need to move past the document level and into the GlobalCite results, this convenient new search tool will enable you to focus in on a particular topic, case, statutory section, etc. within the GlobalCite results list. A simple click of a button activates the Search within GlobalCite results, allowing you to conduct a topical search within the results and hone in on the GlobalCite results that are relevant to you, while eliminating the clutter of results that do not pertain to your research.

GlobalCite is available as part of your Loislaw subscription to any product (excluding Public Records and Information Advantage).
