Irene raises a good point here. Is this session to be about the law or
how to run a records management program for a law firm. Based upon the
responses received so far I think this session idea would do better as
a two-day pre-con. I don't think you can adequately address everything
in a single session or even a double session. I took paralegal
training oh-so-many years ago 2 nights a week for a solid year, and
was amazed at what was covered.

If you do it as  two day pre-con you could have the following sessions

1. Legislative process
2. Litigation - federal and state
3. Contracts and statutes of limitations
4. Legal research - case law, statutes, regulations, citations
5. Legal history - how the American legal system developed and what
makes it different
6. Legal terminology
7. Evidentiary Rules and Records Management

Just my two cents worth (and thanks Doug for expanding upon my earlier thoughts)
