<b>Meyerowitz on Marketing</b>Strutting Your Stuff: The Advantages Of Seminar Marketing

Steven A. Meyerowitz

Seminars, which were "the way to go in the 1990s," remain hot. That makes a great deal of sense. After all, a seminar provides lawyers with the opportunity to strut their stuff for existing clients (reminding them why they hired the lawyers in the first place and subtly suggesting that the initial retention decision was correct) and in front of prospective new clients (to whom the message is, "Look what these people know. I should ask them to help when our company has a problem."). In short, "seminars bring clients and contacts into your office."

The Burden Of Technology

Stanley P. Jaskiewicz

Businesses invest in technology to save money. They hope that the latest invention will live up to the marketers' claims of efficiencies over old ways of doing business. <br>But paradoxically, when "computing" the savings, don't forget the extra costs ' the "technology burden" as it's called ' imposed by innovation, whether cutting edge or mainstream.

<b>Commentary:</b> Speed Passage Of The Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act

Nicole Belson Goluboff

Now that the 109th session of Congress is well under way, passing The Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act must be a top priority for legislators. This proposed legislation would prohibit states from imposing a punitive tax on nonresidents who choose to telecommute some or most of the time to in-state employers. By proscribing such a tax, the law would remove a significant obstacle to the continued growth of an important form of e-commerce: interstate telework.
