ABA Section of Business Law
May/June 2001 (Volume 10, Number 5)
Our
fourth index, 1999-2001
It's the fourth time that Business Law Today presents an index of articles and columns published in the magazine. So as not to consume an unwieldy amount of space, whenever we publish an index, it covers about a two-year period and is not cumulative covering the magazine's entire history.
The magazine began in March of 1992. The index of the first two years was published in March-April 1994. The index of the next two years ran in July-August 1996. And the third one covered material published in issues from July-August 1996 through November-December 1998; it appeared January-February 1999.
This latest update covers both feature articles and columns published from January-February 1999 through January-February 2001.
Of course we owe a big debt of gratitude to our compiler, Cathleen A. Booth, an associate at Katten Muchin Zavis in Chicago.
