Legal Management Resource Center (LMRC)

Do you have a legal management problem, question or issue that you need to resolve? The Legal Management Resource Center (LMRC), created and hosted by the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), is designed to immediately provide the information you need or to quickly direct you to other resources, most on the Internet, where the knowledge you seek can be found.

The LMRC is structured to help you find information about legal management-related issues. Its heart is a law firm management specific "Vertical Portal" organized into seven major content areas. Clicking on one of the links to the right will lead to an area of the LMRC where you may browse articles, check research studies from ALA's Management Solutions^SM Reference Desk, and follow links to Web sites on the Internet that pertain to the subject area highlighted.

A key and critical feature of the articles and other resources gathered in the Vertical Portal's seven subject areas is that that this is a juried collection. ALA's experts have surveyed and reviewed the many thousands of articles and other types of information available on particular subjects, and have selected the best for inclusion - basically separating the wheat from the chaff, discarding redundant articles, and pointing you to the best resources available and the best use of your time. ALA's "spyders" regularly crawl the World Wide Web and many dozens of Web sites where experience has shown the best of the new material in these subject areas is likely to appear - and that new material is similarly evaluated and, as appropriate, added to the juried collection contained in the LMRC.
