No: a competitive disadvantage
Article Abstract:
The US's refusal to sign the Biodiversity Convention may place the country at a disadvantage when attempting to obtain environmental contracting jobs abroad. The Convention had problems in the areas of biotechnology, intellectual property and technology transfer, but the US should have signed and then attempted to work out the problems. The US has the misguided conviction that environmental strictures are bad for business, but the country's experience in environmental technology would help secure work in an era of increasing global environmental regulation.

No: court bulletin boards pose no threat to quality
Article Abstract:
It is wrong in the elctronic age to claim that print publishers are the final quality control arbiters and that changing the system to attach a format-neutral citation as soon as an opinion is issued would result in lesser quality. With electronic publication, the search engine's quality determines value since full-text searching obviates the need to rely on editorial help to find what is needed.
