I have found many "editorial" problems in the commercial systems. One publisher had a six week delay in posting NY State Court of Appeals cases. The Court of Appeals is the highest court in NY. Also, the commercial publishers are not as current as some of the government free sources. A decision of the New York Court of Appeals or First Department decided on a Tuesday afternoon, will not appear on Lexis until Wednesday afternoon.
