Here at HOB we always thought that PreCYdent deserved that little support… support that they obviously didn’t get
We hope the PreCYdent guys can come back with something else sooner rather than later.. maybe they should add their expertise to the launch of Lexwiser.

PreCYdent: 2006 – 2009
If you haven’t already done so, it’s time to update your finding aids for free online legal search services. PreCYdent is no longer. Lack of funds.
On several occasions, I’ve written about PreCYdent because it offered, in my opinion, one of the most innovative search engines for a free online legal research service. Heck, one of the most innovative SE algorithms offered for a free, fee-based, or a very expensive licensed legal search experience. But funding dried up several months ago. That’s a real shame. Not all very good ideas move beyond the experimental stage. Unfortunately, this is one that didn’t. So while we check out WestLaw’s “WestSearch” and “New Lexis” and try to forget the first iteration of IntelliConnect, give pause for a moment on the passing of PreCYdent and hope for its return by way of some vendor giving its merits a careful look.
