Globalization And The Aba Commission On Ethics 20/20: Reflections On Missed Opportunities And The Road Not Taken, Laurel S. Terry

This article offers an explanation for these differing levels of success and identifies an alternative path the Commission might have taken that might have led to greater success …

But What Will The Wto Disciplines Apply To? Distinguishing Among Market Access, National Treatment And Article Vi:4 Measures When Applying The Gats To Legal Services, Laurel S. Terry
Laurel S. Terry
One of the issues currently facing World Trade Organization (WTO) Member States is whether to extend to the legal profession and other service providers the WTO Disciplines for Domestic Regulation in the Accountancy Sector [Accountancy Disciplines].

As the process of globalization has blurred the distinction between national and international legal issues, an international regulatory regime governing transnational legal practice has become …
