jwk,

I found this excerpt particularly interesting ... especially the staffing at Hall & Evans. Good article.

"The enormous financial potential, from a legal perspective, has become apparent now that client business is building up - a full 20 months before the date changes - and will live on in litigation for many years after the new millennium.

Almost all major law firms in metro Denver have created Year 2000 practices; many smaller legal offices also are developing specialties in the issue.

At the Denver firm Hall & Evans, 26 lawyers out of the total staff of 80 already have been recruited for Year 2000 work."

< I think stories about the lawyers getting in on y2k will speed the process of gaining the public's attention.>

Unfortunately, I think it's gonna take a Dateline/PrimeTime, "movie of the week", etc. before the public really "gets it".
