An amendment of that Law in 1981 reduced the time allotted to each party participating in the election to 23 minutes …

Cable Television In Massachusetts, Padraig O'Malley

McCormack Graduate School General Publications (active until 2013)

Today the electromagnetic spectrum is crowded with signal traffic used for just about every conceivable communications purpose, ranging from standard navigational time signals at the Very Low Frequency band to satellite communications at the Superhigh Frequency band. Between these two frequency extremes there are five other frequency bands — Low Frequency, Medium Frequency, High Frequency, Very High Frequency, and Ultra High Frequency — each of which can accommodate only a limited number of uses, and each of which is better suited for some uses than for others. Because the spectrum was, like oil, once believed to be in almost unlimited …

Corporate Law Department Communications--Privilege And Discovery, Thomas R. Hunt Dec 1959

Corporate Law Department Communications--Privilege And Discovery, Thomas R. Hunt

Vanderbilt Law Review

With the growth in number and size of corporate law departments, there is increased interest in determining the conditions and areas in which their communications' may be called for, and used, in litigation. As business becomes more complex, requiring adherence to legislation and regulation which allows small tolerance between the licit and illicit, or demanding close attention to administrative detail, the role of the lawyer is amplified. Concurrently, corporate counsel is engaged in areas where the distinction between business and legal considerations becomes decreasingly apparent.
