AALL Price Index for Legal Publications Why doesnt AALL make Thomson West respond to the Price Index survey?
The Executive Board really does not know how it can “make” any vendor disclose prices. AALL encourages vendors to disclose their prices (Guide to Fair Business Practices for Legal Publishers, Principle #2).The Price Index Committee and the board encourage all major legal information vendors to supply their prices. This year a stronger appeal will be made, if necessary, to encourage West to provide prices, but it is up to the management of Thomson West to decide whether or not to cooperate.
