How firms rate legal networks; a mixed grade

Article Abstract:

A growing interest in law firm networks became apparent in the late 1980s, and Robert Denney Associates has surveyed network members' perceptions of their costs and benefits. Some 43 law firms employees were surveyed as to their opinions on 40 networks and affiliations. Networks usually seem to do what member firms expected of them. The involvement of attorneys stands in direct correlation to the benefits derived from membership. Help with career development and firm management are networks' most successful services, with marketing, referrals and business development also quite popular.

Abortion drug must be legal

Article Abstract:

Members of the anti-choice movement are hindering the progress of medical science and contraceptive technology in the US. A case in point is the French abortifacient RU-486. Not only has the Food and Drug Administration banned its importation, but its French maker, Roussel-Uclaf, has stated that the US' anti-choice politics make it useless to try to sell the drug here. Not only does RU-486 provide safe, non-surgical abortions, it has promise for treating breast cancer, brain tumors, and other grave medical problems.
