As I reviewed my annual Paralegal Division Invoice for continued membership in the North Carolina Bar Association, I realized that annual $50 fee is a darn good value. All members, including paralegals, get free, unlimited access to CaseMaker (http://www.casemaker.us/)
In addition to state and federal case law, statutes and court rules, Casemaker has other great resources for paralegals, including:
Journal of Law and TechnologyCity Codes for Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Durham, Greensboro and RaleighPattern Jury InstructionsLegal Forms (Charges vary per form, but you can see sample PDFs at no charge)NCBA Legal UpdatesAttorney General opinions
While many firms do pay for premium level legal research systems, Casemaker, Fastcase, and Loislaw are popular alternatives. Many bar associations offer free unlimited access to either Casemaker or Fastcase as a benefit of membership. I’m proud to be a member of a bar association that extends this benefit to all members, not just attorneys.
You can find the online Membership Application for paralegals and paralegal students here.
