The commercial database model obviously can't match that aura step-for-step, since the databases include so much non-scholarly legal literature. Westlaw's JLR database includes PLI and ALI-ABA course materials as well as the Yale Law Journal. But the relative exclusivity of the databases does have that effect. Pricing models differentiate between practitioners, on the one hand, and law schools and judges' chambers, on the other. Practitioners often pay metered rates for access to the database; law schools pay a flat rate. Unlike practicing lawyers, law professors can search and use the databases at no marginal cost. It feels free. We're inside the scholarly system again, and the rest of the world is outside.
