LEX is Wolters Kluwer Polska’s flagship legal-information system, one of the two dominant SIPs (Systemy Informacji Prawnej) on the Polish market, alongside Legalis (C.H.Beck).

Cite codes by abbreviation, KSH, KPC, KC, KK, KPA, like Polish lawyers do. “art. 415 KC” is enough for Libra to work through the komentarz and the orzecznictwo SN around that article.

What it covers

Signature modules

Alongside these, Wolters Kluwer Polska publishes specialist modules, among them Zamówienia Publiczne, Prawo Europejskie, Budownictwo, Ochrona Środowiska, Ochrona Zdrowia, Bankowe, Finanse, Księgowość, Kadry, BHP and Windykacja, and role-specific products such as LEX Notariusz, LEX Dział Prawny, LEX dla Sędziego/Prokuratora and LEX do Egzaminu. Which of them you have depends on your firm’s LEX subscription. Practice areas covered well: civil and procedure, criminal and procedure, administrative, commercial/corporate (KSH), tax, labour (HR/kadry), public procurement, construction, healthcare, banking, finance.

Market context

LEX and Legalis (C.H.Beck) are the two main competing SIPs. LEX is generally seen as the trend-setter on functionality and UX and as holding the larger jurisprudence collection. Commentary content differs materially between the two: LEX hosts Wolters Kluwer authors; Legalis hosts Beck authors. Larger firms often subscribe to both for full doctrinal coverage.

What you can ask

  • “Aktualne orzecznictwo SN dotyczące art. 415 KC w sprawach o zadośćuczynienie.”
  • “Komentarz do nowelizacji KPC wprowadzającej postępowanie z udziałem konsumentów.”
  • “What does Polish case law say about the validity of restrictive covenants in B2B contracts?”
  • “Find commentary on recent changes to Polish data protection legislation.”

Setup

LEX is an Add-on source: it needs an active LEX subscription with Wolters Kluwer Polska. Once your firm has one, open Settings → Integrations, click the LEX row (Polish legal research), then Connect and sign in with your Wolters Kluwer account. The full walkthrough is in Setting up integrations.
If your firm doesn’t have a subscription yet, your firm administrator can arrange one through the LEX product page.

Combining with other sources

Tips

“KSH” / “KPC” / “VAT”: Polish lawyers cite acts by abbreviation, and so does Libra. Use them.
LEX content is written in Polish; Libra can answer in English and translate the cited materials, so the English prompts above work as well as the Polish ones.
Pair LEX with European Union Case Law for any topic involving harmonised EU regulation.
