COMING SOON

new research tools—Coming first quarter 2007
SmartRelate
SmartRelate
automatically displays related documents as you research the CCH Federal
Securities Law Reporter or
Securities
Topic Navigator
The
Securities Topic Navigator gathers content from multiple sources into an outline
of topics. The main topics list is divided into sub-topics and then into
documents within those sub-topics. You can browse the topics list as well as
perform a key word search.
Both
of these tools currently cover materials found in the CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter and the
Practical
Guide to NASD Regulation
- Online—Coming
March 2007
Introduced
in the fall of 2006 in softcover format, this convenient resource will be
available on the CCH Internet Research NetWork in March. This companion resource
to the NASD Manual was authored by
Margaret Sheehan and Sara Burstein of Alston & Bird, and Rockell Metcalf of
Ameriprise Financial, Inc. It provides guidance on how NASD rules apply in
specific situations, and the online version will provide hyperlinks to
referenced rules as well as cross-referenced Interpretive Letters and Notices to
Members.

Title—Coming

FTC
Disclosure Rules for Franchising and Business Opportunities
On
January 22, 2007, the Federal Trade Commission issued the first revision to the
FTC franchise disclosure rule since it was promulgated in 1979. The Commission
amended the rule to include separate requirements for franchising and business
opportunity ventures and streamlined the disclosure requirements, minimized
compliance costs and responded to changes in technologies and market conditions.
This
law-and-explanation book will include full text of the new rules, an FTC
Statement of Basis and Purpose, a comparison chart, sample disclosure document
and expert analysis by David J. Kaufmann and David W. Oppenheim.
(Soft-cover
book, 320 pages, $45)
