Do I need an internet connection to use PUSH:legal?
All of our content is stored locally and wholly within the app itself, so no internet connection is required to read statutes or the leading case law. An internet connection is required, however, in order to read entire cases via Google Scholar. An internet connection is also required to use our pre-programmed search parameter which retrieves even more case law via Google Scholar.
