ABSTRACT

SUMMARY. This article addresses pricing questions raised by the 1996 acquisition of West Publishing Company by The Thomson Corporation by considering what happened to Lawyer’s Co-op/Bancroft-Whitney treatise titles transferred to CB-C following the Thomson acquisition of Lawyer’s Co-op. Although the sample of titles examined is small, it appears that price increases have been well above increases in the legal publications industry generally, and this suggests the need to monitor West titles carefully.
