Storelaw and eCasebriefs are “Out of Business”
Storelaw has no phone numbers and eCasebriefs has no phone numbers, and no addresses and now both are “out of business.”
West Group used to sell StoreLaw. They also had a chance to acquire eCasebriefs distribution rights. They dropped StoreLaw and walked away from eCasebriefs. They couldn’t sell StoreLaw nor support it. Students who bought it were not happy. We know why and soon so will you. They didn’t want eCasebriefs because from what we can tell it never really sold any copies. On a recent update, we found that both StoreLaw and eCasebriefs are out of business. eCasebriefs’ website is still up and we got a chance to look at everyone of their case briefs. What we knew from looking at one of their case briefing products is more true. On a scale from 1-10 they are a ZERO and have to reach up to touch bottom. DON’T WASTE YOU TIME!!!
The new and revived Casebriefs.com 2019
Ecasebriefs is now casebriefs.com and they give away for free what they could not sell in the past. From what we see a lot of the content looks exactly the same as casenotes. These case brief products are just as bad and in fact even worse than what we rated them before (see below) because now they are not only terrible in quality they are mostly out of date. Don’t waste your time. This is truly a case where something for free is going to cost you.
That Google consistently ranks this site as #1 for casebriefs and case briefs is yet another example of the inability of Google to produce good and relevant search results. Stop using Google. It is a terrible search engine.
What we wrote about Storelaw applies just as much today in 2021 as it did over a decade ago. Storelaw feeds your anxieties.
Our original reviews of both Storelaw and ecasebriefs are below. They are still valid. Our initial take on this product was that products such as Storelaw feed your anxieties and give you every excuse in the world not to memorize the law. It reminds us of the salesperson who is always fiddling with her computer fixing and updating files instead of out selling product and getting results. No one likes to memorize and the need to do so produces anxieties. Students who spend their time organizing and making an outline are asking for it; we can almost virtually guarantee any such student who does that will be at the bottom of their class. Storelaw costs too much and is of marginal value.
Here is why we are so Negative on Storelaw.
We went to the Storelaw web site to purchase their product to evaluate it. We read all the verbiage and were impressed about the alleged level of customer service, capabilities of the product and their claims. In hindsight, we should have been worried that there is no one to talk to and no phone numbers for Storelaw. Storelaw avoids all customer contact and is most likely being run by someone working another job.
After we downloaded and paid by registering on the web we needed help because a good deal of the information was extremely out of date. We wanted to call or contact Storelaw by email to resolve the problems. There was no phone number for Storelaw. There was no answer by Storelaw to any of our 14 emails over a three week period. This despite the fact of their bragging about customer service on their web site. We asked Storelaw for a refund 6 times over a two week period. We got zero replies from Storelaw.
We had to report the Storelaw transaction to Visa to get a refund on the purchase price!!!
Don’t waste your time with Storelaw. Even after we reported the transaction to Visa to get a refund, we never heard from Storelaw nor received a reply of any type from the company. These comments have been up online for the past 9 years and we have emailed them to Storelaw and have received no comments. The current price sells for we believe $60. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Storelaw has no support, and is significantly overpriced for what you get. The content we saw in the product was obsolete. This product gets a BUYER BEWARE rating from us.
On a scale of 1 to 10 we give this product a ZERO!
If you insist on feeding your anxiety and want a product from a real company and not Storelaw get Microsoft One Note.
If you think making a pretty law outline is something important to do in law school and you cannot live without a Storelaw product and you want to be all organized, you might want to find something better to do with life than wasting it in law school. No one in the world likes to memorize. With all the anxieties you already have don’t let anything stand in your way of memorizing the law. We do not recommend Storelaw .
eCasebriefs is sold by Storelaw
As far as eCasebriefs sold by Storelaw; NEVER buy a digital content or data product you cannot see before you buy.
We purchased one title so you won’t have to. The case briefs were marginal and far worse than Casenotes. They are sold by distributed pdf type books as stand alone products and also as add on to Storelaw.
If you cannot try their casebriefs before you buy don’t bother.
You have no idea about the quality of the casebriefs you are getting but we can tell you for sure that the contracts book we purchased was terrible. Before we bought we even asked them about the fact we could not see what we were buying. eCasebriefs sent us a brief by email. You would figure eCasebriefs would send an example of their best casebrief but the quality was much lower than Casenotes.
Don’t waste your time as too much about eCasebriefs is just plain creepy. We found an amazing set of documents about eCasebriefs. It has very few sales with losses equal to 50% of sales. eCasebriefs is issuing press releases faster than French Revolutions. With all the mergers, dividends (they are losing money but issuing stock dividends), spin offs etc, it appears that they are a bit too busy making imaginary paper deals to produce good casebriefs work product.
As far as eCasebriefs we posted our first comments on the company on 8/26/2007 and immediately got 6 responses in two days. ALL OF THEM WERE BAD and all of them were not from lawstudents but professionals in the law book business.
We discovered that the eCasebriefs product was originally sold by Harcourt Brace and they must have sold very few over the years because we never heard of them and they have never been in any bookstore that we could find.
eCasebriefs rates a buyer beware
The founder of eCasebriefs claims on the web that many consider him the founder of Digital Publishing that one is so absurd we have no comment. We know some of the original founders at Adobe and Apple computer and they died laughing when we told them. They never hear of the eCasebriefs founder. The eCasebriefs founder has never participated in any industry panels, technology standards committees and has never been known to write any technical papers.
The founder of eCasebriefs claims to have seven employees that are alleged to work for the company. They have no phone numbers and no address that we could find. THAT IS A BUYER BEWARE OF THE HIGHEST MAGNITUDE.
If you can’t talk with someone at the company do not buy. We know from our bookstore experience with online stores and Storelaw that those who don’t have phones and no real people behind the company to answer them are a waste of time. NEVER BUY a digital product that you cannot inspect before you buy. Their return emails are form emails.
According to the founder of eCasebriefs they are going to be a company with $100’s of millions in sales in a few years and that was 5 years ago. From $75k in sales and a loss of about $36K they fell just a little short.
On their website the founder of eCasebriefs claims to be the best selling digital casebriefs since the 1990’s. We find that highly incredible. We know the buyers at the four largest bookstore chains in the country and they never heard of eCasebriefs. BUYER BEWARE!!
We have recently become aware that Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity is doing handouts for eCasebriefs. Shame shame shame on them. Some organizations will do anything for money.
