Prosecution Of Minor Subcontractors Under The Major Fraud Act Of 1988, Chris Liro
Michigan Law Review
In the late 1980s, a series of well-publicized defense contractor abuses brought the ordinarily obscure topic of government contracting into the public eye.

Plotting The Return Of An Ancient Tort To Cyberspace: Towards A New Federal Standard Of Responsibility For Defamation For Internet Service Providers, Christopher Butler
