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.

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