Downloading entire treatises on Westlaw/Lexis Forum

[delusional]

Is it possible? Would anyone care if you did it, just to make your life easier after you graduate?

You could potentially, but keep in mind that both Lexis and Westlaw do in fact have a cap on the pages you can print. I ran into them when I accidentally tried printing the entirety of Powell on Real Property. Did not say how many pages I had, but stated that the print job exceeded my page limit.


Unless you are printing a treatise that deals specifically with your practice area & jurisdiction I cannot see it ever being that useful. Not to mention that if you just print it off of Westlaw you will never have the (bi)annual supplements West/Lexis release for damn near every book.

Many used copies of treatises go for $20 and less on Amazon. There's no way it's worth the time and effort to get them through the research companies at law school.
