    While Federal agencies are required to prepare Environmental Impact Statements in accordance with 40 CFR Part 1502, and to file the EISs with the EPA as specified in 40 CFR 1506.9, the EPA doesn’t yet provide a central repository for filing and viewing EISs electronically. Instead, each week they prepare a digest of the preceding week’s ...

      eBook Antitrust Litigation Survives Motion to Dismiss
      In re: Electronic Books Antitrust Litigation
      S.D. New York
      - 5/15/2012
      Apple and eBook publishers allegedly adopted a pricing method designed to constrain competition in eBooks in violation of state and federal antitrust law and consumer protection laws. Denying defendants' motions to dismiss, the Federal District Court holds plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that the publisher defendants took part in a conspiracy in restraint of trade, that an object of this conspiracy was to raise prices for eBooks, and that this conduct was per se unreasonable. The Court further holds that plaintiffs' price-fixing conspiracy claims against Apple are plausible.

    Law Firm Memos
    Whether you’re looking for a nuanced legal interpretation of an obscure topic or just a primer on an issue you need to grasp quickly, our remarkable Law Firm Memos database has what you need. This “virtual law firm” is updated daily and features over 100,000 memos, articles, and alerts from attorneys in North America’s top law firms.
    Long one of Knowledge Mosaic’s most popular features, the Law Firm Memos database features expert legal commentary on 46 searchable topics, including such diverse areas as Antitrust & Competition, Energy, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment, Public Health & Health Care, and Transportation law. You can even set up a customized email alert by topic, authoring firm, or text string.
    Recent Issuances
    Use our Registrations Search page to explore SEC registrations data going back 10 years. Filter by security type to limit results, for example, to issuances of debt securities. Search on a specific dollar amount or range, or a time frame during which the registration went effective. Our most recent enhancement on this page is the introduction of a check box to allow you to limit your results to Initial Public Offerings.
    What makes the Registrations search page really special, though, is our identification of law firms that have represented the issuer or the underwriter in the offering. Using natural language processing techniques, we've identified nearly 200,000 relationships between law firms and the companies they've represented in the context of SEC disclosure. This is data you can only get on Knowledge Mosaic.
    Laws, Rules, and Agency Materials
    Discover why we toyed with naming this search page "The Kitchen Sink." Laws, Rules, and Agency Materials offers nothing less than federated searching across the entire federal legislative and regulatory landscape.
    Here’s what that means. From a single starting point, you can troll across a broad swath of federal agencies -- including major financial, antitrust, energy, environmental, communications, and labor regulators -- plus major congressional oversight bodies, Congress itself, the Federal Register, even the statutory and regulatory codes that define the laws and rules of our country. All that coverage, integrated, faceted, unified, and simple.
    Our ambitious goal is to display the abundance of materials and information that spills beyond traditional agency boundaries on any important topic. We want to bridge the Beltway and sweep away the search silos that currently constrain research and limit the transparency of government information.
    GAO Reports
    Everything under the sun — or at least every subject under the purview of public policymakers — has at some point been studied by the Government Accountability Office, the federal think tank commonly known as the "Congressional watchdog."
    On Knowledge Mosaic’s Laws, Rules, and Agency Materials page, there are over 40,000 GAO reports, on topics as diverse as cybersecurity, nuclear waste disposal, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, anabolic steroid use among athletes, the U.S. embargo on Cuba, alternative fuels, campaign finance reform, and the regulation of hedge funds. This vast archive of information is easily accessible and instantly searchable. As a single source for in-depth, professional research and analysis covering a broad spectrum of subject matter, our GAO reports database is unrivaled — except, perhaps, by our comparably broad and deep database of Law Firm Memos.
