WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Legal publisher Fastcase today announced a partnership with James Publishing, a leading publisher of legal treatises, books, and practice guides, to include the entire James Publishing collection in the Fastcase law library.
This partnership provides all Fastcase subscribers and nearly 75% of lawyers across the nation with access to the complete James Publishing library. Legal professionals and researchers in law firms, law schools, and law libraries will benefit from access to Fastcase's growing database of unique, must-have content published in consumer-friendly media formats.
"We are thrilled to share our library with Fastcase subscribers and look forward to making these titles more readily available to legal researchers," said James Publishing President Kara Prior.
Fastcase subscribers, as well as members of bar associations that provide access to Fastcase's online law library as a member benefit, will receive unrestricted access to the full library of James Publishing titles at both individual and special bundled retail pricing for annual subscriptions. Law schools, large firms, and government organizations will also be able to subscribe to the collection as part of their Fastcase access.
"Along with our partners in bar associations and law firms, we've built a powerful platform, running more than 4 million searches per month, and we're continually improving it," said Fastcase CEO Ed Walters. "We are so appreciative the James Publishing library is now available to legal researchers who rely on Fastcase for smarter legal research. The James team shares our commitment in making the law more accessible to more people."
The titles will be available for purchase in conjunction with Fastcase's other publishing partners, as well as its own imprint, Full Court Press. During its inaugural year, Full Court Press has enhanced Fastcase's libraries by co-developing digests, journals, books, and blogs with an array of partners, including state and specialty bar associations, leading law schools and law firms, and franchise authors who have a long history of working with Fastcase COO Steve Errick, and who embrace Fastcase as a steward of their works.
"We've already accomplished some major milestones during our first year as an imprint, and are excited about this partnership with James Publishing," said Full Court Press Publisher Morgan Morrissette Wright. "As we continue to expand our libraries and offerings, we're selectively looking for publishing partners who can add their unique content to our platform to the benefit of all, achieving our vision to make the law more accessible and providing an improved research experience."
Fastcase users will be able to search the new treatises within the legal research platform immediately.
