Legal Research Center Announces
Record Revenues for First Quarter


Minneapolis - May 8, 2001 - Legal Research Center, Inc. (OTC: LRCI), the
nation's leading provider of outsourced legal research and writing services,
today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001.

     For the quarter, revenues increased 34 percent to $1,633,871, compared to
$1,221,959 for the first quarter of 2000. This was the most successful quarter
for sales in the company's history.

     LRC also posted strong earnings in the first quarter, reporting EBITDA
earnings (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $270,992, or
$.11 per share, versus $245,643 for the first quarter of 2000, or $.10 per
share. Adjusted for projected 2001 tax expense, LRC's net income was $155,228,
or $.06 per share, compared to $232,919, or $.09 per share, for the same period
a year ago, reflecting an income tax expense of $106,100 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001, or $.04 per share, compared to no expense for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000. The increased tax expense was a result of the Company's reversal
of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of
2000.

     "On behalf of LRC shareholders, we're pleased to have completed our
eleventh consecutive quarter of strong earnings," said Christopher Ljungkull,
chief executive officer of Minneapolis-based LRC.
