4 FCIL Newsl. 1 (1989-1990)

handle is hein.lbr/aafcnlt0004 and id is 1 raw text is: FCIL Newsletter AALL Foreign, Comparative and International Law SIS Volume 4, Number 1 From The Chair From The Editor The Future Is Bright Timothy Kearley Greetings. Another year, and yet another regime takes over the helm of our SIS. I suspect that just about the time I step down and our Vice-Chair/Chair-elect, Janet Zagorin, takes over I'll have figured out how to do the job. This raises an issue some of us have seen coming in the last few years. The SIS may want to consider changing the terms of office (currently one year) to two years (after I step down, of course). Alternatively or at the same time, the SIS may want to consider going to single candidate elections. Given the small number of active members in our group, there is a real problem finding several interested people, who are not already overworked, to run for SIS offices each year. Chair, to next page CONTENTS From The Chair - I From The Editor - 1 1989/90 Committees' Plans - 3 Job Changes - 4 Training of FCI Law Specialists - 5 1990 International Law Institute - 5 Help! - 6 Caribbean Laws Reprinted - 7 1989 Business Meeting Minutes - 8 1989 Working Groups Reports - 9 Civil Law Workshop Report - 11 1989 IALL, IFLA - 12 Placement - 13 1989/90 FCIL Officers - 14 Feature Article: Russian, Soviet Law Collection at Harvard Law Library - 15 Milagros R. Rush For a year I resisted doing this column. This time, however, there are a couple of things that I want to be explicit about. First, Kevin Jewell's article on the Russian and Soviet Law Collections at Harvard Law Library is at the end of this issue, instead of on this spot. This doesn't mean that it is less important than the first two articles in the series; in fact, I decided to change the layout to make it easier to clip and save these articles, should you wish to do so. I think they potentially have enduring relevancy, even more than the list of officers which is good for only a year if not less. Second, one of the ideas that I brought back from the Newsletter Editing Workshop this summer is to periodically survey the readership as to what it wants to read about in the newsletter. I certainly want to know what you wish to see published. After all, for some (if not most) of us the newsletter is probably the only way that we communicate with each other nation-wide (world-wide, since we have international members?) outside of the Annual Meetings. I will not subject all of us to an elaborate survey; at the bottom of page 12 is a tear-off slip that you can scribble on and return to me. At the same time, I will need you to suggest corresponding writers, columnists, etc., if possible (volunteer yourself, why not?) Please feel free to use separate sheets as needed and to send in suggestions any time. On the flip side, take this also as a solicitation for your opinion as to which items should not be included. October 1989
