SEARCH ENGINE FOR LAW FIRM NEWSLETTERS

Linex Legal is a new search engine that allows you to search the newsletters put out by "over 1,000 leading law firms and government organisations" in in ten countries: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the USA. Specialty areas include: product liability, international arbitration and mediation, employment, health and safety, pensions, property, planning and construction, and European Competition law.

This looks to be a very useful and unique tool--and it is free.
