Law and Contemporary Problems
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is putting the final touches on a system designed to account for the science used by federal agencies in their administrative missions.

Global Government Networks, Global Information Agencies, And Disaggregated Democracy, Anne-Marie Slaughter
Michigan Journal of International Law
This essay seeks to broaden our understanding of government networks by placing them in more historical context and by elaborating different types of government networks within and without traditional international institutions. After a brief overview of the literature on transgovernmentalism since the 1970s in Part I, Part H sets forth a typology of three different categories of government networks. Part III then seeks to pinpoint the specific accountability concerns associated with each type. Part IV offers one approach to answering some current accountability concerns by adapting the concept of "information agencies" from the European Union to the global level. This …

Part III builds on the Jacobson-Ku discussion of the current practices, relative to accountability, of the Security Council and asks …

Accountants' Accountability To Nonclients In Texas., Jessica P. Gomez
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Comment proposes that accountants be held liable to any foreseeable user of their work product to ensure the deterrence of negligence on their part. Currently, the three main common law theories concerning whether nonclients can sue accountants for negligence are: (1) the privity rule; (2) the Restatement (Second) of Torts § 552; and (3) the foreseeability standard.
