Tamara,
I have no experience with them, but doing a google newsgroup turns up a
bunch of hits in the news.admin.net-abuse.sightings group and some
interesting ones in the rec.pets.dogs.breeds group :-)

Not that any of that says anything definitive about the company....

Subject: SLA-SF: Thelaw.net question
Does anyone have any experience with TheLaw.net Corporation?
http://www.thelaw.net Our counsel received the following solicitation,
and of course they think it sounds really cool, but I am suspicious of
their "hurry, sale ends Friday" approach. If anyone has used this
service, I'd love your feedback.
Thanks!

Subject: 33% OFF ENDS FRIDAY!
Homepage: http://www.thelaw.net
Subscription Terms: http://www.thelaw.net/subscribe.htm
Order Online: http://www.thelaw.net/fulfillment.htm

popular subscriptions, hundreds off Workgroup Editions and benefit from
the extension of our 1-Year Same Price Renewal Guarantee! See,
http://www.thelaw.net
Only a lucky few can perform unfettered research with a national
scope directly from their desktop. For most, interjurisdictional
electronic research is a wish or an unwieldy expense. And yet, the
judicial opinion you can't find cannot assist your client. What to do?
--SUBSCRIBE TO THELAW.NET FOR $1 A DAY - OR LESS - PER USER!
1. WANT TO METASEARCH FEDERAL AND STATE APPELLATE JURISDICTIONS? DONE.
No metered charges to cross Federal or state jurisdictional lines. It is
impossible to go outside The Plan when you have unlimited access to
everything the vendor offers. Pay us once for your low-cost annual
subscription including a 30-day unconditional money back guarantee.
Done. See, http://www.thelaw.net
2. WANT A ONE YEAR SAME PRICE RENEWAL GUARANTEE? DONE.
We've extended our One Year Same Price Renewal Guarantee for new
subscribers that sign on by the end of February! And FYI, TheLaw.net
Corporation does not employ or contract with commissioned sales reps.
Everyone is trained to provide honest, objective, advice and counsel.
3. WANT NEW SUBSCRIBER JUMP-START INCENTIVES? DONE.
Our most popular subscriptions, TheLaw.net Convenience Edition and
TheLaw.net Small Office Special are 33% off until the close of business,
Friday! See, http://www.thelaw.net/subscribe.htm

4. WANT METERLESS ACCESS WITH A NATIONAL SCOPE? DONE. --Unlimited access
to more than four million searchable judicial opinions! --From more than
200 Federal and state jurisdictions! --Updated four times daily!
5. NUMBERS DON'T LIE - COMPARE AND SAVE:
We are still waiting to meet the attorney who isn't afraid of
subscribing to the proverbial pig-in-a-poke! So let's crunch some 2002
numbers... --Last year, TheLaw.net added nearly 102,000 new judicial
opinions for our subscribers to search through. --Do you practice in a
small state? If so, your Vermont Supreme Court issued less than 150 new
opinions last year. --Or maybe you practice in a big state? If so, all
Texas State Appellate Courts (combined) issued approximately 10,000 new
opinions. Other examples: Maryland: 400; D.C.: 300; Indiana: 850;
Arizona: 250. --So let's get this straight? You pay all this money to
the premium vendors for a state or practice-specific Slice, you got
hammered with outlandish fees whenever you have the temerity to venture
outside The Plan and you miss having ongoing, meter-free access to how
many judicial opinions compared to our subscribers? See,
http://www.thelaw.net/coverage.htm
6. WANT THE ABILITY TO CHECK THE PRECEDENTIAL VALUE OF A CITE? DONE.
Find cases in our database that cite to your case in one mouse click.
Find cases that cite to your case only for the reasons you care about in

Opinion Retrieval Service! We locate and overnight email ANY known
Federal or state judicial opinion; moving you to the top of the list if
you are operating in crisis-mode! Bottom line - as our subscriber you
will never again be without a known Federal or state judicial opinion!
8. ACCESS 80,000 ADDITIONAL ITEMS VIA OUR LINKBAR SYSTEM! TheLaw.net is
