The green hasn't faded after 25 years; experts agree that compliance with founding principles is now as natural as the wind and rain
Article Abstract:
A panel of twelve environmental law experts discussed the state of modern US environmental law and regulation, reaching broad agreement on several issues. The panelists, representing industry, private firms, consumer groups, and government agencies, agreed that US water and air pollution has decreased markedly since 1970, but that the laws are now restrictive and presume intent to evade the law. Intersections between trade law and environmental law are likely to bring new disputes, and the GOP's environmental agenda could spawn new lawsuits.

New compliance review procedures proposed by the OFCCP allow officers to conduct off-site inspection of contractors' affirmative-action related records
Article Abstract:
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs issued a proposed rule May 21, 1996, changing affirmative action requirements for federal contractors by establishing new specifications of compliance and procedure. The new compliance review procedures allow the OFCCP, at the compliance officer's discretion, to implement one of three 'targeted' review formats rather than the standard one. The new rule shortens the time for compliance with an OFCCP request from 30 days to 15, and extends the period when records must be kept.

Careful planning can ease overseas expansion; in opening law offices abroad, firms need to scout out local culture and consult experts
Article Abstract:
Culture clash can make opening and operating a law firm's foreign operations overwhelmingly difficult and the relocation consultants operating in many cities may be able to help with this task. For instance, many European cultures still have remnants of a class system and firms with a more informal culture have the greatest chance for problems in this situation. Foreign practices with labor contracts and foreign technology systems can also be problems.
