West-Thomson product lines

[James Love <love@tap.org>]

  In an earlier message, I asked for a little help in figuring out where 
  Thomson and West were competitors.  The following data was sent to me 
  (Since I'm not sure if I should say by whom, I haven't given 
  any credit, but thanks much.).  I would appreciate any clarifications, 
  corrections or additions.  We meet with DOJ next week on the sale of 
  West to Thomson, and specifics are quite useful.  jamie  (love@tap.org)

  West and Thomson direct competitors:
  
  Supreme Court Reporter  vs. Lawyers Edition
  US Code Annotated vs. US Code Service
  Corpus Juris Secundum vs. American Jurisprudence
  
  Many state codes, regs, and caselaw are provided by both.  In NJ:
  	NJ Administrative Code (regs)  done by both (West is the official
  one, Barclays is not)
  	NJ form books -- NJ Practice (West) vs. NJ Pleading & Practice
  Forms (LCP) and NJ Forms Legal and Business (LCP)

  West, LCP, & Bancroft Whitney produce a number of competing
  state codes (CA, NY come to mind).
