* What is a "project" and what is "legal project management"?

* How project management grew out of the military and aeronautical industries in the 1950s and 60s

* The conflict between lawyers as professionals and the managerial discipline introduced by LPM

* How LPM is, practically, incorporated into legal practice

* The future of LPM in an industrial and academic context
