It seems like they ripped out Lexis, which is probably one of the most important tools for lawyers: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/pull/5.

Curious if Thomson Reuters (Westlaw) felt threatened if they were this compelled to moan about it. All it does is make me wonder how well these skills perform when paired with Lexis (if possible?) instead of Westlaw.

Can't we just use the version of the codebase from before that change?
Yes, they are just text-based "skills" that you are free to change to your liking.
as someone who's worked with legal entities in the past, this is likely a deal breaker for many firms. LexisNexis is an integral part of the legal system for many states.
