About this file

This document is a Quick Guide for an online legal research tools contract managed by the Wisconsin Department of Administration Bureau of Procurement. Contract #505505-S18-SPI0009-00 covers the period from November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2019, with Waiver Case Number SW0977. The contract involves two primary vendors: LexisNexis (which Wisconsin municipalities may use) and WestLaw (which Wisconsin municipalities cannot use). The contract is not mandatory and operates on a cooperative basis, with state purchasing cards prohibited for payment.

The contract provides comprehensive online legal research services including federal and state administrative codes, statutes, regulations, attorney general opinions, court briefs, legal dictionaries, encyclopedias, law reviews, and bar journals. Services include 24/7 online access, on-site training, web analytics tools, and legal research support. Two core packages are available: a Wisconsin core package offering unlimited access to federal and Wisconsin state legal content, and a national core package providing access to federal and all 50 state materials. Both packages include administrative regulations, case laws, codes, court rules, legislative materials, statutes, and unlimited access to legal reference tools. Supplementary materials such as public records and physical products receive discount pricing. All listed pricing represents maximum rates, with authorized users able to negotiate lower prices directly with vendors.
