The AALL Guide to Fair Business Practices
for Legal Publishers were approved
at the Fall 2002 meeting of the Executive
Board. The Guide is the result of the work
of the Fair Business Practices Special Committee
that was charged to draft guidelines to
replace the Guides for the Law Book
Industry (16 C.F.R. pt. 256) rescinded
by the Federal Trade Commission on January
19, 2000.
In consideration of the Fair Business
Practices Special Committee’s recommendation
for a standing committee, the Executive
Board also approved appointment of the
Fair Business Practices Implementation
Task Force to guide the distribution and
promotion of the AALL Guide to Fair
Business Practices for Legal Publishers
as the accepted standard in the industry.
Additionally, the Fair Business Practices
Implementation Task Force is charged with
the responsibility for monitoring the
ongoing interpretation, revision, promotion,
and evaluation of the AALL Guide to
Fair Business Practices for Legal Publishers
and shall work cooperatively with the
Committee on Relations with Information
Vendors as appropriate.
Size: The Special Committee will consist
of a Chair and four members. The members
will be appointed by the President and
serve until July, 2006. A non-voting Executive
Board liaison will be appointed.
