LexisNexis Launches New Federal Practice Guide for California
New guide features online integration and extensive local rule coverage
DAYTON, OH, September 20, 2004 - LexisNexis U.S., a leading provider of legal, news and business information services, today launched the Matthew Bender Practice Guide: Federal Pretrial Civil Procedure in California, available both online at the lexis.com® service and as a four-volume print set. The fourth title in the Matthew Bender® Practice Guide series for California, the new Practice Guide takes attorneys through the pretrial process from determining where to file a case all the way up to trial.
The Practice Guide boasts tight integration between print and online, featuring an easy-to-read online version with live links to other relevant content and sample searches to delve deeper into the LexisNexis® Total Research System. Both versions include cross-references to Moore’s Federal Practice and other Matthew Bender publications.
Authored by leading litigators and judges in California including Richard B. Kendall, the Honorable Richard Seeborg, Mary Jo Shartsis, and the Honorable Fern M. Smith, the Practice Guide also includes extensive coverage of local court rules and procedures for all four of the state’s Federal District Courts. The court rules and other content in the Practice Guide are updated twice a year.
"The Matthew Bender Practice Guides are designed to meet the requirements of today’s attorneys who demand a close link between their online and print materials. We’ve created the 21st century version of what a practice guide should be," said Todd Lowdon, vice president, Market Planning. "The new Practice Guides make it easy for attorneys to move easily from one medium to another without losing track of where they are in their research."
The new Practice Guide joins Matthew Bender Practice Guide: California Pretrial Civil Procedure (Paul R. Kiesel, the Honorable Peter D. Lichtman, Edith R. Matthai, and Richard L. Seabolt), a three-volume set, Matthew Bender Practice Guide: California Civil Discovery (Paul R. Kiesel, the Honorable Peter D. Lichtman, Edith R. Matthai, Richard L. Seabolt, and the Honorable Evelio M. Grillo), a single volume, and Matthew Bender Practice Guide: California Landlord-Tenant Litigation (Andrew Westley, Michael Saltz), a single volume. Additional titles under the Matthew Bender Practice Guide name will be launching in the future.
