Attorney’s BriefCase research content is moving to CEB’s modern legal research platform. This means faster search, better navigation, and a foundation for integration with CEB’s California-focused primary law, secondary sources, and practical guidance content.

CEB acquired Attorney’s BriefCase to preserve and expand its trusted family law expertise, ensuring California practitioners continue to receive authoritative analysis and practice-focused guidance. Moving Attorney’s BriefCase content to CEB’s research platform allows us to combine Attorney’s BriefCase’s deep family law library with CEB’s broader research ecosystem, giving practitioners an integrated, California-specific research experience.

Yes, all Attorney’s BriefCase analytical content is available on CEB’s platform. You will find California Family Law and California Evidence. All historical content has been migrated, and enhancements will continue as part of CEB’s ongoing development. Currently we are linking full text cases to CEB’s California-focused citator for family law and adding full text case support for California Evidence.

No content is being removed. Some features from the legacy Attorney’s BriefCase interface may look different, but all analytical content and case commentary remain available. However, the Attorney’s BriefCase app will be discontinued starting February 1, 2026.

The legacy Attorney’s Briefcase interface will remain available for a limited transition period. All new updates and content releases will occur only on CEB’s research platform starting February 1, 2026.

If you already have an active Attorney’s BriefCase subscription, your access continues under your current terms. When your subscription renews, it will renew as a CEB Research subscription containing the Attorney’s BriefCase Family Law Library.

During your current subscription term, your pricing remains unchanged. Future renewals will follow CEB’s standard pricing for Attorney’s BriefCase content. CEB offers discounted pricing for solos and small firms (under 10 attorneys), as well as multi-seat discounts.
