Computer/Telecom Law
The expert-authored components of the Computer and Telecommunications Law CD-ROM allow users to represent clients effectively with easy access to important and up-to-date information in this competitive and complex area of law.

According to the announcement, the CD-ROM contains all major publications dealing with computer law:

Computer Law covers the protection of computer software under intellectual property (copyright, patent, and trade secret) laws. It also covers multimedia and Internet issues as related to computer law, and the legal implications of the Y2K problem. Litigation attorneys further benefit from coverage of the application of the laws of evidence and discovery procedures as they apply to computer-based information.
Telecommunications Regulation: Cable, Broadcasting, Satellite, and the Internet tracks the government’s regulation of the means of transmitting information over the Internet, by satellite, and through cable and television. It also monitors the development of new communications technologies as they emerge, and explores the complicated Telecommunications Act of 1996.
International Computer Law provides a practical guide to international information technology law, including the national copyright protection systems of the European Union and 65 countries. It also analyzes European Union competition law as applied to the information technology industry.
Computer Contracts covers the full range of contracts for buying, selling, leasing, and licensing hardware, software, and services. It also inlcudes legal analysis, sample clauses with commentary, and complete contracts to help legal researchers handle contracts for computer users and vendors, marketing arrangements, software development, maintenance, and licensing arrangements.
The LEXIS Cyberlaw Case Database, updated quarterly, contains the most recent decisions, allowing the user to track and monitor evolving trends in computer and telecommunications law. It includes related cases from the following courts: U.S. Supreme Court from 1834; U.S. Courts of Appeals from 1847; U.S. District

Courts from 1913; U.S. Court of Federal Claims from 1959; U.S. Bankruptcy Courts from 1980; U.S. Court of International Trade from 1982; and State Courts from 1875.

Health Care Law Library
According to the company, the Health Care Law Library CD is a one-stop resource for health-care law analyses, cases, statutes, and regulations, with the most complete and up-to-date coverage of health-care law, including the full text of more than 50,000 LEXIS federal health-care law cases and over 90 select landmark state cases. Health Care Law Library also provides comprehensive analytical materials on ERISA, health insurance policies, group health insurance policies, and Medicare and Medigap insurance.

The expert-authored Health Care Law Library links all analytical material directly to the primary law and provides practitioners with in-depth analysis and practical guidance drawn from Treatise on Health Care Law; Health Care Law: A Practical Guide, second edition; Health Care Law Sourcebook; and Health Care Law Monthly.

Treatise on Health Care Law is a definitive primary reference work covering the entire spectrum of the legal issues involved in health-care practice, including corporate and tax issues, reimbursement, patient care, medical staff, and labor issues and liability. Treatise on Health Care Law also speeds research efforts through detailed chapter synopses, extensive statutory, regulatory and case citations, excerpted materials, and state-by-state charts.

Health Care Law: A Practical Guide, second edition serves as an ideal desk reference, procedural guide, and training tool for both health-care lawyers and health-care administrators. Each chapter contains a concise and inclusive discussion of the law, an analysis of problems likely to be faced by health-care providers, and practical guidelines for dealing with those problems, as well as checklists, sample forms and contracts, and state-by-state analysis.

The sourcebook also spotlights proposed changes in Medicare and Medicaid and provides the full text of recent public laws affecting health care.

Health Care Law Monthly journal explains and analyzes significant developments in health-care law and demonstrates how they affect existing law and future trends. A complementary part of the Health Care Law Library CD-ROM series, Health Care Law Monthly covers topics such as provider contracting, corporate compliance, and Stark issues.
