Morgan Traditional approaches to the practice of law are changing rapidly with times of tighter economic constraints as well as constantly expanding international legal markets. One of the more effective methods of meeting these modern challenges is to become affiliated with other independent law firms and exchange information and resources. Although several of these legal affiliations located across the United States and in selected world markets now are active in the legal marketplace, Commercial Law Affiliates is currently the largest. Headquartered in Minneapolis with more than 136 member firms and 179 offices worldwide, CLA is the only such group that monitors client satisfaction and member quality. Since my own firm is a member of CLA, I canvassed the law librarians of CLA's member firms for input on updating The ALERT 50 in order for the list to reflect current solutions for the more diverse needs and expanded problems of legal research in the 1990s. Their help has been invaluable in broadening the scope of this article. The first ALERT 50, written by Steven Mitchel and published in 1987, was updated by Peg LaFrance in February 1990. Both lists also were helpful in compil- ing this revision. Legal and Legislative Research Bieber's Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations. 3d ed. Mary Miles Price. Buffalo: Hein, 1988.
