RBsourceFiling's Redline Compare feature now available for 10-Ks and 10-Qs and is enhanced with Side-by-Side comparison option
RBsourceFiling’s Redline Compare feature for Registration Statements, Draft Registrations, and Proxies has now been extended to Annual and Quarterly reports (10-Ks and 10-Qs) and has a new side-by-side view option. Together, these enhancements make RBsourceFiling’s Redline Compare an industry leader.
Redline Compare helps you quickly identify how a filer has amended their Registration in response to SEC comments or how a previous Annual Report has been changed in response to market or regulatory events. Changes are clearly marked in green and red, and it’s easy to browse to changes using the left hand navigation.
The new Side-by-Side comparison is shown below:
New edition: Defending and Preventing Employment Litigation, 2016 Edition
Defending and Preventing Employment Litigation provides in-depth analysis of the types of actions that can be brought against a company, the statutes under which such actions may be brought, and the way in which courts have analyzed such claims. The 2016 edition brings you up to date on the latest cases, statutes, and developments including:
- Analysis of the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision addressing the extent to which the time employees undergo security checks at the beginning or end of their work shifts constitute compensable time worked under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
- New section surveying case law on the extent to which any settlement of an FLSA claim must be done with the Department of Labor (DOL) or court supervision and the resulting limitation on the private parties being able to include several standard clauses in the settlement including confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions
- Discussion of the recently enacted California Fair Pay Act, which is intended to increase requirements for gender wage equality and transparency in that state to levels greater than those under federal law

Almanac of the Federal Judiciary Online adds new user-centered features
While the Almanac of the Federal Judiciary (AFJ) is already a very useful (and popular) product, we continue to listen to our customers to provide useful enhancements to better aid the user experience. Recently, we enhanced AFJ Online with the following: Addition of “judiciary news;” A judge/justice “mail-merge” feature; and search “look-a-head” functionality (see below for each new feature).
Judiciary News
From the AFJ main page, you can now access judiciary news written by Wolters Kluwer editorial staff. You can click on the plus (+) sign to get a brief clip of the article to read, or if you click on a headline, you will be taken to the full article. Now you can get pertinent federal judicial information and judiciary news all in one location.
Judge/Justice Mailing Feature
A number of AFJ users have asked for an easy way to get an entire District or Circuit judge mailing list, without having to go to each judge individually and “cut-and-paste” addresses and names and put them into an Excel spreadsheet. AFJ online now has a one-button feature that does just that! Simply run your search (see first image below), click the new “mail” button (highlighted in red below) and it creates a mailing list of the judges in a downloadable Excel spreadsheet (see second image). It’s that easy!
Search "Look-A-Head"
A simple, yet very important addition to the AFJ, search “look-a-head” was added in an effort to aid your user experience and allow you to get the information you need faster. Often, users cannot remember the exact name of the judge they are searching for. Now, simply start typing a judge’s name into the search bar, and as you type, examples of judge’s names will begin to appear to help your search process.
