The online legal research tool the Jasper County Attorney’s Office uses is getting a 12-year upgrade. Assistant County Attorney Nicholas Pietrack received unanimous County Board of Supervisor approval this week to move to the 2022 version of WestLaw. They have been using the 2012 option.

“Our contract for that one expired this July. So the agreement on the agenda is for that software.”

Pietrack says to bridge to the start of 2025, the County Attorney’s Office will pay $1,124 per month. Then a 3-year agreement kicks in at $1,509 per month. The Assistant County Attorney notes the County Attorney’s Office has been using WestLaw for nearly two decades.
