Continuing its innovation in providing and delivering authoritative content and integrated information services to the legal community, LexisNexis U.S. today announced the availability of LexisNexis content to attorneys and law firms through the BlackBerry® wireless platform, developed by Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX; RIM). LexisNexis is a leading provider of legal, news and business information services.
With this latest phase of wireless delivery options, legal professionals now can search the LexisNexis® service and access LexisNexis® Publisher topics from their BlackBerry Wireless Handheldsxxx8482; devices that continue to demonstrate great popularity among law firms and attorneys. Previous announcements have highlighted the ability to proactively search, refine and edit results sets from more than 14,000 information sources in the LexisNexis service, via BlackBerry. LexisNexis information available includes full-next news, business, legal, public records, and regulatory and legislative information sources.
"Mobile technology has raised the bar for attorneys, allowing them to leverage wireless technology to improve communication with key clients, gain a strategic advantage in trials, keep current with breaking news and case activity, and increase productivity and billable hours," said Lou Andreozzi, president and CEO, North American Legal Markets, LexisNexis.

Turn court recesses and other downtime into productive, billable hours.
