“free and easy to use”
Pros
Its super useful when it was part of my legal practice for free. It's pretty comprehensive and does a solid job as a search engine for finding case citations. But you do have to be very specific with your search queries.
Cons
I would not pay for this program. I used it when it was free as part of my law practice but once it stopped being free, I switched to Google Scholar.

“Useful but not thorough enough”
Pros
I was fortunate enough to access it for free, thanks to my membership in a bar organization. It has proven to be an incredibly useful legal research tool, helping me with various tasks and making my work much more efficient.
Cons
I never felt like the search results were as thorough as I wanted. I am used to Lexis and Westlaw, so it didn't quite meet my expectations and I ended up using law library resources which was inconvenient.

“good for on-the-go research but limited”
Pros
i get it for free through major bar associations and it lets me do decent research whenever I need to on the go.
Cons
Its definitely more limited compared to Lexis and Westlaw. Plus, it does not work as well for legal research in areas with older caselaw.
