Friends and Colleagues:
I'm coordinating a program on outsourcing in the information industries
at the 2005 AALL conference in San Antonio next July. The program has a
broad scope; it will examine many facets of outsourcing in the
information professions, focusing on libraries and records management
departments in the private legal environment.
For this program, I have several more potential panel speakers than will
reasonably fit into the allotted 90-minute time slot. I'd like to get
some input from AALL members, conference attendees and interested others
regarding which topic segments/speakers would be of the greatest
interest to the most people. If you're willing to help me choose,
please look at the list below and give me a number rating for each from
1 (of most interest) to 5 (of least interest).
Thanks for your assistance, and please remember to reply to me
individually, not to the lists to which I have cross-posted!!

services directly to lawyers and firm administrators describes and

conflicts, docket) discusses his firm's tested methodology for success
in adopting an outsourcing strategy
____ A commercial offshore legal services vendor describes and
