Wanted: Lawyers and other legal professionals to participate in WisBar development and evaluation

August 15, 2002

The State Bar of Wisconsin recently launched the analysis and design phase for the next generation of WisBar, the State Bar Internet site. The State Bar is looking for lawyers, law students, paralegals, and legal support staff to participate in site development, user research, and site prototype evaluation. This is an opportunity for the legal community to become directly involved in shaping the future of WisBar, enhancing user access to and the value of WisBar content.

Study participants are needed to participate in one-on-one user interviews at participants' offices, focus groups, or usability testing of prototype designs. Commitment is approximately two hours.

Additional volunteers are needed for an average of 10 hours to participate on support teams with staff on such activities as developing an approach to legal research, the site's navigation and content categorization, or the site's design and navigation.

To express your interest, please email Beth Lindorff at blindorff@wisbar.org or call (800) 444-9404, ext. 6098. Please indicate whether you are interested in participating as a support or study participant and whether you are interested in a specific activity noted above. Feel free to email Beth with your general thoughts about WisBar.
