Options Awards Reviews More about LawMoose...

For lawyers in private practice, corporate counsel, businesses, organizations, and government, we have a powerful subscriber edition built around our fully explorable law practice problem solving environment and intellectual capital system, Laugment.^TM

It's an advanced lawyer augmentation system delivered in the form of a knowledge graph.

Laugment provides advanced, easy-to-use law practice thinking architecture via your desktop or handheld device browser.

As of January 1, 2023, Laugment knows more than 400,000 words and phrases. Because they are interconnected by 1,700,000 smart relationships, Laugment functions as an intellectual network extending your own mind. It also serves as a dynamic semantically-powered gateway to the best of the larger legal Web. If you don't have scores of dedicated knowledge management lawyers working on your behalf -- or, frankly, even if you do -- you need Laugment.

As a lawyer, you need an advanced lawyer-built law practice knowledge assistant / electronic mentor in myriad ways in your daily practice. But until Laugment came along, the Legal Web had no "brain" to make it more useful to practicing lawyers. The empty search box can't do what Laugment can do - make your most valuable asset -- your legal mind -- sharper, quicker, and more creative than ever. How? By providing you with a functioning "intellectual exoskeleton" magnifying your law practice mind -- one based on years of law practice modeling and real time legal transactive memory effects.

Here's what others have said.

And if you're an institutional client, or an in-house lawyer who hires outside counsel, let's talk about how we can mutually support your law firms' leap into 21st century-style value-magnified law practice.

Call us or ask us to call you.

Disclaimer: Laugment is not intended to substitute for a lawyer but rather to amplify the powers of smart people in real time and improve the lawyering process.

HERE COMES LAWMOOSE!^SM

Pritchard Law Webs announces LawMoose!

LawMoose is the new Minnesota legal search engine and law portal.

Search engines are the foundation on which the Web is built. Pritchard Law Webs founder LaVern A. Pritchard says, "LawMoose is for those who are interested in the Minnesota legal portion of the Web -- lawyers and non-lawyers alike."

Currently in private beta status, LawMoose will move through a public beta phase before its official launch, currently projected for October.

Visitors coming to the community law portal at http://www.LawMoose.com will see a site that resembles Yahoo!, AltaVista, Excite, MSN, Google, and other web portals -- with a vital twist.

At LawMoose, everything will be about law and Minnesota. "We pre-screen sites for relevance. Only Minnesota legal web sites are eligible for inclusion, so everything will be relevant."

From the legal web search core, Pritchard Law Webs will build other portal features, including an expanded version of its existing Directory of Minnesota Law Firms on the Web, the Internet's only comprehensive listing of Minnesota legal web sites -- currently listing nearly four hundred web sites published by Minnesota law firms with more than four thousand total lawyers.

Pritchard says, "We know people want to use the Web to find lawyers, and lawyers want to be found on the Web. We're building community infrastructure to make both sides able to find the other more easily. Visitors will be able to find a collection of legal and law-related information that has never been accessible through a single point before. We hope visitors will find LawMoose to be a great starting point for the Minnesota legal web -- and that our visitors will help us make it even better."

LawMoose is based on Pritchard Law Webs' proprietary LawMoose Agent web spidering technology. Pritchard Law Webs has completed several test rounds of web page indexing through Minnesota law-related web sites as well as its first production round. Already, the LawMoose index contains the most comprehensive single searchable collection of Minnesota legal web pages.

Pritchard Law Webs will be introducing LawMoose at the Minnesota Law & Technology Show on September 19-20. Terms for law firm and individual lawyer participation in the new portal are under development. LawMoose will accept advertising and offer members of the Minnesota legal community a variety of promotional options.

Explanatory Notes: The name "LawMoose" derives from the metaphor that LawMoose roams the electronic forest in search of knowledge. A web "spider" is an intelligent agent that navigates around web sites, acquiring information necessary to build a searchable web page index.

*****
