State Bar of Wisconsin Books UnBound™ is a subscription-based online library of PINNACLE Books. These resources include State Bar of Wisconsin brown binders, the Wisconsin Business Advisor Series, and the Wisconsin Judicial Benchbooks*.
State Bar of Wisconsin Books UnBound™ titles are developed from the award winning PINNACLE Books you currently use. They contain the same reliable information from the same experts you already trust. With Books UnBound, you can save money on your research costs, save time by being more efficient with your current research, eliminate the bottle neck that can occur when the resource you need is being used by someone else in your firm, and take your research with you.
Your subscription to Books UnBound™ titles will run for 365 days. You will receive immediate access to your Books UnBound as soon as your payment is processed.
Once you subscribe to Books UnBound™ simply login to WisBar to access your titles in either of two ways.
Books UnBound™ is the only resource that offers the content from PINNACLE Books that Wisconsin's attorneys have trusted and relied on for decades. Enhanced to serve as a rich research tool, Books UnBound™ includes FREE access to federal and state caselaw and statutes. There are no additional subscriptions required. The pages you see will resemble the pages you’re used to seeing in our print books.
If you have access to Books UnBound™ through a firm subscription, your access will not transfer with you if you leave that firm. If you join a new firm, simply contact State Bar customer service with your new employment information; if that firm has a subscription, you will gain access through their Books UnBound™ subscription.
Initially, renewals will not be automatic.* You will be invoiced for the renewal of your Books UnBound™ subscription for 10% off the regular subscription price approximately 60 days prior to your subscription expiration date. If we don’t hear from you, we'll send another renewal invoice prior to the subscription expiration date. If you do not respond to either renewal notice, your access to Books UnBound™ will end on the 366th day after your initial purchase. Once your subscription is terminated, you will no longer be eligible for the discounted renewal price and will need to purchase a new Books UnBound™ subscription at the full, regular price in order to regain access.
*The State Bar of Wisconsin reserves the right to allow purchasers to select automatic renewal in the future.
