LexisNexis and Thomson-FindLaw influence ABA’s legal technology survey?

Learned over on Bob Robert Ambrogi’s LawSites that The American Bar Association’s Legal Technology Resource Center has released its 2004-2005 Technology Survey on the use of technology within the legal community.

LexisNexis and Thomson Legal & Regulatory were thanked for graciously sponsoring the survey so you can pick it up for only $2,225. I’m sure glad LexisNexis’ profits weren’t less than $271 million and Thomson Legal & Regulatory’s $245 million for the first half of 2005 or else we couldn’t have picked it up so cheap.

And of course we can all recall the phrase ‘He who pays the piper calls the tune.’ Think the survey is critical of the LexisNexis Thomson-FindLaw dualopoly when it comes to high prices and lack of innovative services?
