Searching for Lawyers by College on Martindale
This will be of interest to approximately -100% of my readers, but people do occasionally stumble here via google search, so I thought I’d put up something useful that I just learned. For some reason, the “lawyer locator” function on Martindale-Hubbell that you get to from the obvious route of lexisnexis.com –> student –> lawschool only allows you to search for alums who went to your law school, not your undergrad. Not so helpful for networking as widely as possible. But I learned from someone who had worked on a lexis webpage for their law school that there is another route for accessing Martindale from Lexis, which gives you more search options:
Instead of starting with “lexisnexis.com”, start with lexis.com/research, click the grey “Research Tasks” tab, and under the “Reference” folder there’s a link to “Martindale-Hubbell”. Clicking this gives you a box for a Boolean Search. Using the “Select a Segment” drop-down tab just below you can select “College”, type the college name in the adjacent entry space, and click “add” to search for alums. And of course, you can narrow the results with the other categories in the drop-down menu.
Et violà!
