My Review 

Google scholar is a decent legal research resource. It provides access to relevant authorities, but the search query power could be improved. Most firms are outsourcing time and labor intensive legal research projects to third-party legal research service providers like Research Associates - www.legalresearchexperts.com. This makes using Google Scholar or even Westlaw or Lexis a moot point.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
