Fastcase to transition to new platform
The legal research tool Fastcase — offered as a free benefit to all members of the State Bar of Michigan — is transitioning to a new platform this month. Now called vLex Fastcase, the upgraded interface allows the ability to search by content type across jurisdictions and includes a table of contents in documents linked directly to statutes, regulations, books, and journal articles.
Michigan attorneys are expected to be able to begin accessing the new platform on November 14, 2024. Members can then transfer any notes, folders, and favorites to the new platform. After 30 days, members will be taken directly to the vLex Fastcase page when they log in. Access to the existing Fastcase 7 service will be maintained for the time being, but eventually transfer entirely to the vLex Fastcase interface.
Access to the legal research tool remains the same: Simply log in to the online Member Area at michbar.org/MemberArea. It is listed under “Extras.”
Multiple resources are available to Michigan attorneys to help with the transition to vLex Fastcase:
