DAYTON, Ohio -- Beginning Dec. 19, Colorado attorneys will have simple desktop access to more online statewide litigation than ever before, including new search and track functionality, through LexisNexis(R) CourtLink(R), a leading provider of online docket alerts, tracking and advanced searching.

CourtLink also offers online access to U.S. District Court content.

"LexisNexis CourtLink is a one-stop destination for complete court records information - local, state and federal. That makes it easy for Colorado litigators to use court records strategically," said Michele Vivona, vice president and general manager of litigation services at LexisNexis. "We've made it easy for attorneys to track case proceedings automatically, to be among the first to know about new developments in existing cases of interest."
