In Changing News Landscape, Even Television is Vulnerable Trends in News Consumption: 1991-2012 Overview The transformation of the nation’s news landscape has already taken a heavy toll on print news sources, particularly print newspapers. Online and digital news consumption, meanwhile, continues to increase, with many more people now getting news on cell phones, tablets or other mobile platforms. These are among the principal findings of the Pew Research Center’s biennial news consumption survey, which has tracked patterns in news use for nearly two decades. The proportion of Americans who read news on a printed page – in newspapers and magazines – continues to decline, even as online readership has offset some of these losses. The decline of print on paper spans beyond just newspapers. While print sources have suffered readership losses in recent years, television news viewership has remained more stable. The changing demographics of the TV news audience are particularly noticeable in the audiences for local and cable news.
Regulation Z: Compliance Guide This guide was prepared by the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as a "small entity compliance guide" under Section 212 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, as amended. The guide summarizes and explains rules adopted by the Board but is not a substitute for any rule itself. Only the rule itself can provide complete and definitive information regarding its requirements. The Truth in Lending Act The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) is implemented by the Board's Regulation Z (12 CFR Part 226). Prohibitions related to mortgage originator compensation and steering Regulation Z prohibits certain practices relating to payments made to compensate mortgage brokers and other loan originators. The prohibitions related to mortgage originator compensation and steering apply to closed-end consumer loans secured by a dwelling or real property that includes a dwelling. Compliance with these rules is mandatory beginning on April 1, 2011.
Guide to Law Online The Guide to Law Online, prepared by the Law Library of Congress Public Services Division, is an annotated guide to sources of information on government and law available online. It includes selected links to useful and reliable sites for legal information. The Guide to Law Online is an annotated compendium of Internet links; a portal of Internet sources of interest to legal researchers. Although the Guide is selective, inclusion of a site by no means constitutes endorsement by the Law Library of Congress. In compiling this list, emphasis wherever possible has been on sites offering the full texts of laws, regulations, and court decisions, along with commentary from lawyers writing primarily for other lawyers. Materials related to law and government that were written by or for lay persons also have been included, as have government sites that provide even quite general information about themselves or their agencies.
It Only Seems That Political Corruption Is Rampant With the indictment last week of the former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell on fraud and conspiracy charges, one might surmise that high-level political scandal is breaking out all over. And in a way, one would be right: It has been a good year, or perhaps a bad one, for hauling politicians before judges. Three members of the House of Representatives pleaded guilty to, or were convicted of, crimes in 2013, more than any other year since 1981, when the now-cinematized Abscam sting operation put six House members and a senator behind bars. Last year, former mayors of Detroit and New Orleans, among others, were convicted of, or charged with, felonies.

Our ExamSamples Emerging global networks for free access to law: WorldLII’s strategies Graham Greenleaf, Philip Chung and Andrew Mowbray Co-Directors, AustLII & WorldLII* 1. The emerging ‘free access to law’ network 1.1. Legal research increasingly has global dimensions. Commercial legal publishers have responded to these developments in a number of ways. Both the internationalisation of legal research and the decline of local control over legal information call for a response from those who value free access to legal information3, and who consider that free access to essential legal information should be part of a person’s civil rights everywhere. By 'essential legal information' (also called ‘public legal information’) we mean primary legal materials (legislation, case-law, treaties etc) and some secondary (interpretative) materials (law reform reports, travaux préparatoires, investigative commission reports etc). The main goal of the free access to law movement is to spread free access to such legal information to those countries that do not have it6. 1.2. 1.3. 1.4.
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Home Page Unpublished Opinions in Federal Courts: An Interview with David Cleveland « Cornell Law Library's InSITE Website Reviews | Main | Google Reaches Tentative Settlement of Book Search Copyright Class Action » October 29, 2008 Unpublished Opinions in Federal Courts: An Interview with David Cleveland David Cleveland is an Assistant Professor of Law at Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad Law Center. Q: You have two forthcoming articles now on the issue of unpublished opinions in the federal circuit courts, is the issuance of unpublished opinions a common occurrence? A: Extremely common. Q: What specifically are we talking about when we say “unpublished opinions”? A: “Unpublished opinions” refers to court opinions that the court withholds from formal publication in the official reporter. Q: What was the reasoning behind this rule change? A: The limited publication plans, and the attending lack of citation and precedent accorded unpublished opinions, is, in my opinion, far greater than a mere rule change. A: No, they aren’t. A: Absolutely. A: Unfortunately, no.
