Lexis Nexis and bad design


Well it's the beginning of a new semester and I'm frantically trying to get my syllabi done before the start of classes next week. This semester I'd like to have my Criminal Justice classes read some West Virginia Caselaw. It used to be easy to search for cases restricted to a particular state. However, it looks like Lexis Nexis decided to streamline their searching tools, thereby breaking my routine. Whoever designed this interface ought to be shot at sunrise.
