Service to speed legal research
Rv SARA HOLLAND
A computerized legal research service (LEXIS) will be available to Kansas lawyers beginning tomorrow, according to the Kansas Bar Association, secretary of the Kansas Bar Association.
Klein said the research service would make it possible to cut a lawyer's research budget.
"Cases that usually require four days of manual research could be cut to 30 minutes with the use of the computer service," he said.
Kansas is the fifth state to use the program, he said. Ohio, New York, Texas are among the states to use it.
Initially, Klein said, there will be two computer terminal centers, one in the State Law Library in Topeka and the other in the Kansas Bar Association offices in Wichita.

Klein said the centers would be connected to the main computer in Dayton, Ohio. The service will provide case citations for Kansas laws and will include laws from the state. He said there would be no need. He said it also would have federal laws, plus securities and tax law information.
Computer centers eventually should be available at the University of Kansas School of Law and the Washburn University School of Law.
Martin Dickinson, law school dean, said the program would be available at KU by

"in order to use the service, lawyers must be to the computer terminal centers," Klein

Klein explained the system by using a sample case in Missouri that involved a doctor who was involved in a malpractice suit as the result of leaving a sponge in a patient after the doctor performed surgery. Klein said the words that were synonymous to doctor and sponge were programmed into the computer.
Klein said Kansas' program had received $138,000 in federal funds and the Kansas Bar Association had given $16,000 to set up the program.
"The service should be a valuable system in finding all case citations about a particular legal question," said David Berkowitz, Dallas County attorney.
"Within 14 seconds, the computer had searched through 25,000 cases and had found 36.
Ed Collater, Lawrence attorney, said it might be difficult to find the key word or phrase to describe a particular case to the computer.
Klein said there would be someone available at every terminal center to assist with calls.
Klein said the service wouldn't replace lawyers or research libraries, but would be a valuable resource.
would receive instruction in using the program, Klein said.
"The new system won't add any new resources but it will be a new approach to finding information," Anita Head, law school librarian, said.
Fred Six, Lawrence attorney, said he would welcome the computer service as a research tool. He said he wouldn't use it on a day-to-day basis but would use it on legal questions involving taxation and securities laws.
"Additional terminal centers will be added in Kansas if it's established that the area centers will be used a minimum of 25 hours a month," he said.
Klein said response to the new program had been good. He said 500 lawyers already had attended sessions explaining the service.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
2nd Psalm and Acts 4:25
Permit me to tell you of a dialogue I had with God Almighty, or one attempted. "Unbelief" will prevent, or cut off a dialogue with God. Several examples: In chapter 4 of both Matthew and Luke we have Christ's Temptation by the Devil. The Devil quoted Scripture, misapplying it in order to tempt Christ. Christ quickly cut off that part of the dialogue, saying: "Get thee hence, Satan, for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve." And in the passage in Luke, Christ said: "Give thee behind Me, Satan, for it is written—note how Christ fought the Devil with what The Bible said: "It is written. It is written! We submit that God's attitude towards His own people if they try to dialogue in unbelief is the same as His attitude towards the Devil! Did He not say to Peter towards His own people if they try to dialogue in unbelief is the same as His attitude towards the Devil! Did He not say to Peter towards His own people if they try to dialogue in unbelief is the same as His attitude towards the Devil!

What follows are quotations and comments from an article that appeared in this Column about the middle of December 1970.
Ten or twelve years ago some authority here in DeKalb County took a strong stand against the horrible, and abominable, and wickedness of pornography, warning all places that sold books and literature of severe penalties for the guilty. Shortly after this I was in one of the side-of-the-road stores that stay open about 16 hours of the day and looked at the books for sale. Some of them "stunk terribly" from the standpoint of modesty, chastity, morality, decency, etc. And probably what was worse was the manifest Scorn and Disregard of The Laws Warning! The thought came, and I fear time has proved it about correct: The Devil will win out over The Law!
Shortly after this experience the effort was made to have "a Dialogue with God Almighty!" Recalled what God said through Christ: When Christ returned in power He would give some He found faithful "authority over one or more cities." Then I told The Lord how I would handle this Store Owner who had just defied the Legal Authority by continuing to sell the dirty, sinful, and abominable literature: He would be given one hour to clean his clothes, order his orders would be given to set the place afire and oil fed to the fire; he was consumed, good and bad; and in case he belly-ached unduly about this judgment, orders would be to throw him into the fire when hottest! THE DEVIL AND EVIL MEN CAN BE CONTROLLED AND HANDLE WERE YOU LEAN HARD ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD ALMIGHTY! And do not believe the Devil though a great imitator of the Son of Man, Christ could imitate The Son of Man's Action as the time in The Book of Daniel He went into the fiery-furace and walked with the three Hebrew Children and brought them out without the smell of smoke on them! While this judgment would be terrible indeed, such utterrage save the man, his wife, and little children from being threedy and spending Eternity in The Lake of Fire, as well as multitudes of other men, women and children thus warned of "THE WRATH TO COME!"
