Welcome to the NYSBA/LoislawConnect LawWatch CaseAlert Service - a benefit to members of the New York State Bar Association

The NYSBA/LoislawConnect LawWatch CaseAlert Service is a free member benefit that allows our members to sign up to receive e-mail alerts of new cases in one of twenty areas of practice. The New York State Bar Association is the first bar association in the country to provide this CaseAlert service, which gives members another tool that can help them stay ahead of the curve.

This is how it works: several pre-selected searches, each relevant to a particular area of the law, have been assigned to the practice areas. As a member, you may elect to receive e-mail alerts in one of these areas—whichever you choose. When a new decision that matches the search terms in your selected area is published, an excerpt from the case will be automatically e-mailed to you. In that e-mail, a link will be provided which allows you free access to the full text of the case.
