摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide subscription-based online information-retrieval systems to facilitate legal research.

SOLUTION: An embodiment automatically searches for other types of documents not specifically targeted by user queries. A system automatically submits a user query for legal opinions to first and second databases, with the first database storing legal opinions and the second database storing non-opinion documents.
