For researchers and law firms
Membership Network
One report, one brand, one community.
One network, two ways in. Certification holders join a community of legal research professionals, and law firms hold a seat that lowers what they pay for reports.
For researchers
Certified professionals opt into the approved contractor network, refer cases and grow with a community built on one reporting standard.
For law firms
Custom discountsbased on volume
A firm seat is $250/month, prepaid annually, with a discount that reflects the volume of reports you order instead of full retail a la carte pricing.
One report
A shared approach to professional reporting
One brand
Growing the Social Slooth network together
One community
People you can connect and collaborate with
Beyond a single seat
Your skills. A wider circle of support.
Keep your core team focused while building relationships with certified professionals who can help you take on more, as needed.
A community, not just a credential
Stay connected with other certification holders who understand legal research. Exchange perspectives, build trusted relationships and grow alongside people working toward the same professional standard.
Scale when the work calls for it
Certification for your paralegal or law firm reaches beyond the work of a single seat. Refer additional cases to the network and expand your working capacity when you need extra hands.
Pick your people, or let us assign
Request specific approved members when you already have someone in mind, or leave the match to us and we assign a qualified member automatically. Either way, the case stays inside the network.
Grow under one shared brand
Each new member brings relationships, perspective and capacity to Social Slooth. As our community grows, we strengthen the company, extend our reach and build a more connected legal support network.
As needed. When needed.
More cases don't have to mean more permanent overhead.
A busy docket, a new matter or a temporary surge in work can call for more capacity. The network gives your firm a way to connect with additional support without rebuilding your core team.
- 01
Identify the extra capacity
Decide which additional cases or research needs you want to refer while your in-house team stays focused on its priorities.
- 02
Choose a member, or let us assign
Request approved professionals you want to work with, or leave the match to us and we assign a qualified member automatically. Availability, case fit and scope are aligned before an engagement begins.
- 03
Build a trusted working circle
Develop relationships you can return to as your workload changes. Expand your team for the matter at hand, then adjust as your needs evolve.
Member availability and engagement terms are confirmed for each referral. Network participation does not guarantee case assignments.
For law firms
Significant discounts on reports for law firm membership.
Law firm network membership is a separate optional membership for firms rather than individuals. For $250/month, prepaid annually, your firm receives a custom discount on research services, based on the volume of reports you order, instead of paying a la carte at full retail.

Custom discountson research services
$250/month, prepaid annually, so $3,000 for the year. Your discount is set based on the volume of reports you order.
Membership held by the firm
A firm-level membership rather than a seat for one person. Firms can join the network directly, so you can start referring work without waiting on a certification.
Discounted research services
Member firms receive a custom discount on research services, sized to the volume of reports your firm orders.
Law firm network membership is optional and separate from the certification course and from member licensing for course materials. Discounts apply to research services and are based on report volume, and the seat is prepaid annually.

Stronger together
Every connection builds the community.
As certification holders join, our collective experience and capacity grow. More relationships open more conversations. More collaboration strengthens the Social Slooth brand and helps us serve a wider legal community.
- Shared training and reporting foundations.
- Professional relationships that extend beyond a single case.
- A growing community with a shared identity and purpose.
Opt in. Connect. Grow.
A place in the community starts with certification.
Social Media Investigations Certification holders can express interest in joining the approved contractor network. Participation is optional, and contractor approval is separate from completing the course.
This network expands your professional connections and referral capacity. It does not change the single-seat certification or automatically add course seats.
Law firms can also join the network directly through a separate firm membership. For $250/month, prepaid annually, a firm seat includes a custom discount on research services, based on volume.
