Richard G. Kozal, Assistant Co oration Counsel
SUBJECT: Agreement for Westlaw Local Government Practitioner Online Legal Research
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information for considering an agreement with Thomson-West for Westlaw Online Legal
Research tailored to governmental law attorneys.
RECOMMENDATION
rk It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed agreement with Thompson-West
for Westlaw Local Government Practitioner Online Legal Research in the amount of$15,256.80.
BACKGROUND
The City currently subscribes to online legal research services from LexisNexis and maintains a
print library primarily consisting of publications from Thomson-West. The City's online legal
research services subscription agreement with LexisNexis has expired. LexisNexis and
Thomson-West have both submitted proposals to the corporation counsel for their respective
online legal research services. The Thomson-West proposal also includes a fifty percent
reduction in the Corporation Counsel's costs for its existing print subscriptions with Thompson-
West. LexisNexis cannot offer a similar print subscription reduction because it does not publish
the materials currently maintained in the Corporation Counsel's library.
The Westlaw online legal research services proposal provides a substantially greater number of
products than LexisNexis. The monthly cost for the Westlaw online legal research agreement is
$1,271.40. Taking into account the fifty percent (50%) reduction in existing print subscriptions
also being offered by Thompson-West the net cost of the Thompson-West proposal for the
Westlaw online legal research services results in a $50 per month savings over the LexisNexis
proposal.
