So I've heard.  I've adapted well enough, I guess.  My practice would grind
to a halt without Westlaw, even though I learned legal research the
traditional way (during one of my judicial clerkships my office was actually
in the court's library).  But once I've assembled my materials online, I
have to print them out, usually in .pdf, Apparently some old dogs can only
learn a limited number of new tricks.
