Federal Bail & Detention Handbook – New edition, new format

PLI published the Federal Bail and Detention Handbook, 2011 edition.  Previously, this title was published in a binder and supplemented annually.  This year we published in a soft-cover format and the book costs roughly what the supplements cost in the past.  We will publish a new edition each year —which means you no longer have to file the supplements!  In addition, this title is now more portable and can easily be carried to court, to meetings, or anywhere else you want to take it.  And, we updated the typefaces and layout to make everything easier to use.  The only thing we didn’t change is the content.  The content is the same valuable content you’ve come to expect– all the latest significant developments under the Federal Bail Reform Act as reported by the Honorable John Weinberg, including his invaluable table of U.S. Supreme Court and Circuit decisions.

Release # 5 is now available for Proskauer on Privacy

Today’s hodgepodge of privacy and data security standards creates greater compliance burdens for corporations, employers, public agencies, and legal advisers.  PLI’s Proskauer on Privacy: A Guide to Privacy and Data Security Law in the Information Age reduces those costly burdens. This comprehensive, one-stop reference covers the laws governing every area where data privacy and security is potentially at risk — including government records, electronic surveillance, the workplace, medical data, financial information, commercial transactions, and online activity, including communications involving children.

This treatise provides essential details on how to develop compliance programs that help your entity satisfy federal and state standards, ensure data privacy and security, prevent cybercrime, and help entities avoid fines, penalties, litigation, damages, and negative publicity. Proskauer on Privacy also examines Europe’s rigorous privacy and data security standards, the laws in Canada, Australia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, India, Russia, and Dubai, as well as legal initiatives in California and other states.
