Dear Legal Folks:

Lexis CertiFinder is a new service that expands out of it's Public Records to 
include driver's license, vehicle registration, and criminal records on 
people.  Many of you came to the September presentation and have business 
needs for the access.   We now have a Lexis CertiFinder flat rate contract in 
place.  It is $42 per ID per month.   Please attend Lexis CertiFINDER 
training in EB47C2 at 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM on Friday, 11/10/2000  or read 
through the attached CertiFinder User's Guide.  If you plan to attend the 
training, please RSVP to Sylvia x36775 by COB, Thursday, 11/9.  If you do 
need the access, let me know and I'll request an ID for you.   

  

Thanks,

 Establishing relationships between people and businesses or other 
individuals
 Finding current or previous addresses, in addition to confirming reported 
address dates

 Disclosing real and personal property ownership
CertiFINDER reports help you identify issues that suggest potential risk and 
when paired
with the LEXIS

-NEXIS
c
services, enable you to conduct more in-depth research within
other pertinent sources, such as company reports, financial filings, caselaw, 
industry regula-tions,
import/export records, etc. By reviewing this additional information, you can 
gain even
greater insight into risk variables.
