What used to take a day for me to do, back 30 years ago when I got started, takes me seconds to do now on the internet. Cause almost all cases in the last 20 years have been indexed on the computer. It's only if you're looking into a very old case where you have to still make that trip to the courthouse. The skills are the same; the only difference is you're doing your searching through fields on a computer screen. Since 9-11, there's been heightened awareness of, not just terrorism, but personal security. Since there's been involved with cyber-stalking - people finding out where you're going or what you're doing through access through your computer, or personal security. Or, "I'm going to be hiring some people, and I want to make sure they're in the United States legally and they are who they say they are." Those kind of things. That has entirely changes since 9-11; people spend a lot of money to make sure that they're not going to have a problem down the road.
