JustCite talk good law

JustCite is a legal research platform from Justis Publishing that indexes millions of legal documents including cases, legislation and articles. Justis Publishing’s Mark Debenham interviewed the company’s Editorial Manager, Rory Campbell, and Development Manager, Dean Pendley, about how JustCite combines editorial content and technical innovation to make it the guide to “good law”.

Many users of JustCite that I speak to often comment on how intuitive it is to use. Why do you think this is?
Dean Pendley (DP):
I think a lot of that is to do with experience. Each member of the development team has been working here for a long time so we know JustCite inside out. We’ve picked up a lot about the common law system over the years and that’s meant that we’ve got a good idea of what our users need in a citator. Our Lead User Experience Designer also trained as a lawyer so that helps too.

Rory Campbell (RC): I’d agree with that. Experience plays a big part.
