Capacity starts at 3,000 records!

Our Legal Library Software Packages offer:

No need to worry about record limits here! You can add more capacity when you place the order or later. We don’t count volumes or copies. E.g., a law report series counts as 1 title.

Create a stunning catalogue that your fee-earners can explore to their heart’s content.

Library administrators can create catalogue records and enter data generally throughout the system according to the Package you have chosen.
