Anyone exporting and saving forms from Westlaw? Forum

[LAWYER2]

I'm a 3L whose westlaw/lexisnexis subscription will run out this year. I would like to take advantage of it while I still have it. Has anyone downloaded batches of forms, cases & statutory material? I know there is a cap on the amount of data, but I was told that if you save it to your research history you'll always have access to it. Any input?

Why do you need to do this?

Aww, I forgot, I plan to go into solo-practice after school. However, still seems like it would be worth it even if working for a smaller firm that does not have unlimited access.

Have you taken a Professional Responsibility course? You might want to check the Westlaw or LexisNexis user agreements. You might lose your access rights and then you're screwed!!!
