We have been busy putting the finishing touches on the New Thomson Reuters Cases. We appreciate your patience in this process and are very happy to advise the release will take place on the evening of Thursday the 7th of October. Please note Lawbook & Legal Online will be offline that night from 8-9pm to complete the migration.
We will be reminding you of the changes again prior to and on the release date. However we wanted to provide you with some resources so you can prepare for the upcoming release.
What will I need to do?
We will take care of the detail and upgrade your subscription/s automatically. We will advise you when this upgrade is completed and how you can get the most out of your New Cases products.
Where will I find the New Cases Products once they Go Live?
If you log in to your cases products via Legal Online the New Cases products will simply appear under the Cases Tab alongside FirstPoint. If you do not subscribe to FirstPoint you will see a new tab called “Cases”. You will find your New Cases Product/s under this tab.
If you currently log in to your cases products via Lawbook Online you will need to log in to them via Legal Online from the 8th onwards. You can do this by selecting Legal Online in the subscriber login drop down on the Thomson Reuters Corporate site or by linking directly (see details below) to Legal Online.
If you deep link directly in to your cases products you will need to update your deep links and any favourites you have saved on the 8th of October. Click here for a list of New Cases Deep Links. Simply locate your current deep link or favourite and replace the old URL with the new one listed in the document.
If you deep link from your intranet we advise that you forward this email on to your Intranet or IT Team as they will need to make these changes for you and your colleagues.

Hi
I have a couple of questions regarding the migration of cases onto Legla Online.
1. Will all of the cases currently on Lawbook Online be migrated to Legal Online on 7 October?
2. What time zone is the 8-9pm time slot during which both platforms will be unavailable?
3. When will the Law book Online platform be decommissioned? Will the old platform stay in place for a period of time with re-directions in place?
Kind Regards,

Alexandria,
Thanks for your questions. See answers below:
1) All cases will be migrated on the 7th bar a small number of individual ATR & ACRIMR cases. These cases will be migrated throughout the remainder of October. As a result we will leave the full ATR & ACRIMR series available on Lawbook until the end of October, while at the same time making the migrated cases available on Legal Online. All other Report Series though will be removed from Lawbook and moved across to Legal Online on the 7th.
2) Time Zone is 8-9pm EST (Sydney Time)
3) The Lawbook platform will be decommissioned once the remaining product is migrated off the platform. This will be late 2010 early 2011. Re-Directions to Legal Online will be in place until that time.
