Surfwax Launches Free Version of LawKT Service

Surfwax has launched a free version of their LawKT service. The free service allows a user to search an index of over 60,000 law firm publications from over 280 law firms. There's also a legal news section that aggregates news on over 1,000 law-related topics. The site is accessible at http://law.surfwax.com .

On the front page, you'll see TONS of topics, starting with Abandoned Property and going all the way to Wrongful Termination. Click on a topic and you'll get articles and pages relevant to that topic with what looks like machine-extracted excerpts; most of the excerpts are good but there's the occasional JavaScript and misc code.

There's also a search box at the top of the page. A search for Mold brought a page of fifty results, with page title, date (for most of them) and the source. Clicking on the article title takes you directly to the article; clicking on the magnifying glass is supposed to take you to a SurfWax "site snap" but it didn't work when I tried it in Opera. (I got some data but I don't think I got a full site snap.)
