I have an employee contact list setup in public folders. I would like
to set permissions so that some users can view the entire contact list,
while others can only view a subset of that contact list. Is there a
way to setup these permissions and create the subset of contacts?

Thanks

Outlook doesn't have any way to set permissions that granular. You might want to consider using multiple folders.

How would I accomplish this? Right now there is a person editing two
contact lists, one for all employees and one for employees that are
emergency contacts. Would a custom form with an "Emergency contact"
checkbox work, along with a custom view, or is there a better way.

Thanks again

A custom form isn't going to make the information any less visible. Only putting items in a separate folder will allow you to have separate permissions for the different folders (and thus for the items in the folder).
