Letter from the Editor

DECEMBER, perhaps this year more than any, is a time to reflect; to look both forward and back. We do both in this issue. We offer our annual year-end index, a handy catalogue of all the products and services announcements we ran this year, (through our November issue.) We also present our annual Reader Interest Awards, a roster of the Top 20 products of the year, as measured by your feedback to our Reader Response cards.

As we approach the new millennium, one thing is certain: Trials in the next century will be very, very different from trials today. With that in mind, we look forward with our Litigation Showcase, a series of articles probing key issues facing trial lawyers.

As always, we welcome your comments and press releases, at lawtech@amlaw.com. Finally, on behalf of Law Technology News and American Lawyer Media, we send you warm wishes for the holiday season. May your peace and joy exceed your wildest expections as we cross the 2000 threshold.

Cordially,

Monica Bay
Editor-in-Chief
