Lexis+ with ProtégéLexisNexis legal research, with an assistant that cites its sourcesWho it’s for: lawyers, notaries, in-house counsel, CPAs, and the legal departments of public agencies, when their organization subscribes to Lexis+.
You write your question the way you would ask a colleague. Protégé answers in a few structured paragraphs and cites its sources: LexisNexis statutes, decisions, encyclopedias, and practice notes. Each source opens so you can check it.
Protégé prepares a first version: memo, letter, email, argument, contract clause. You then have it shortened, sharpened, or reworded. It can adapt to your profile and your writing style.
You get the essentials of a court decision or a long document in seconds: the facts, the question raised, the ruling. Useful for sorting through twenty decisions before reading the three that matter.
