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.

  • "Cool Website".
    Minnesota Association of County Probation Officers, MACPOST, Winter 2005 at 2.
  • "[The Lexis-Nexis/Westlaw] "duopoly" now has challengers and competitors. ... By far, the biggest boon to legal researchers is the vast proliferation of information freely made available on the Web. ... As the information has grown so too have the entities willing to organize it, index it and make it findable and usable.... Entrepreneurs have developed search engines and directories that provide order and access to the information.... [O]ur local LawMoose [is one] of these."
    Susan A. Kiefer, Road to Internet Research Still Under Construction, Minnesota Lawyer, November 15, 2004. (Kiefer is Law Library Director and Associate Professor of Law at Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota.)
  • "For those of us who have been hesitant to dip into 'yet another website': I've tried LawMoose three or four times over the past couple of weeks and have found it to be enjoyable, easy to use, comprehensive, and useful.

    Responding to an opponent's imposing trial brief, it took less than five minutes to find the leading case - that my learned opponent had somehow overlooked. All this in a conceptual area I hadn't heard or thought of since graduating in the upper two-thirds of my class some thirty years ago...

    It is more than just pleasant to find such a resource. Plus, it does not require all the training and hoops imposed by WestLaw or other sites based on earlier, more primitive protocols."

  • "If I were stranded on a desert island and could only access one web site, I'd probably want to be able to connect to www.coastguard.gov/Find-me-I-am-lost-and-need-help.html.

  • "There are many great websites out there that provide links to primary authority. Instead of trying to remember them all, try just one - LawMoose."
    Minnesota Association of Law Libraries ((MALL) Consulting & Community Outreach Committee, Locating Legal Information on the Web 2004. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Committee is presenting 14 full-day workshops all around Minnesota to show public and county librarians how to use the Web to locate legal information. The workshops are sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Education, State Library Agency.
  • "[The 8th International Conference on Substantive Technology in Legal Education and Practice] is an international gathering of legal academics, with a sprinkling of law librarians and technologists. ... [One] theme of the conference was taxonomic systems, familiar enough to librarians, but less so to academics, although lawyers are used to hierarchical structures. Of particular interest to me was a demonstration of the Minnesota service LawMoose, which is powered by software called LawSaurus. This provides a poly-hierarchical structure for legal information, including broader and narrower terms, and related terms, the standard thesaurus characteristics given three dimensions in the information service. I think this has enormous potential and hope to look into it further."

In fact, LawMoose is the first place I go for state and federal legal research and so much more--leaving the icon on my PC for one of your competitors as a mere reminder of how it used to be. What keeps me coming back are the continual enhancements to the LawMoose website. Kudos! And thank you!"

  • "One of the finest innovations in legal information is in West's backyard: the new "legal community knowledge server" for Minnesota lawyers. ... It is a superb idea, and as the only regional legal resource as yet existing in the country, it fosters community, unlike the large portal sites. (I don't even live in Minnesota and I like to visit LawMoose.)"
    Wendy R. Leibowitz, Who Owns the Law (As I Was Saying column), Law Practice Management, July/August 2001, at 10, 15. Ms. Leibowitz also regularly writes about legal technology on her own award-winning site, WendyTech.com, featuring legal news and articles about technology and the law.
  • Web Site of the Week. "GREAT SITE!!"
    American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants, Minneapolis Chapter, June 24, 2001
  • "[LawMoose] is the most interesting thing I've seen in a while. ... It is absolutely fantastic. ... It works beautifully ... you don't have to be specific about the state .... I don't know of too many others that are really a true regional legal search. [If LawMoose expands to other states] that would really be a huge change for legal researchers because ... the truth ... is it is all jurisdictional, so if you have a place where you could search across all these databases with key words -- actually that's an improvement over what Westlaw and Lexis can do for you. ... I'd like to see more of those ... I'd like to see one for Massachusetts."

    Wendy Leibowitz, Taking the Law into Your Own Hands, Wendytech.com, May 4, 2001
