Volume 5, Issue 2 (2013)

Editor's Welcome

Dear Readers,

It is my pleasure to present the second issue of Volume 5 of the Legislation & Policy Brief. This issue takes a close look at comparative climate change litigation, government contracting methods, executive compensation, and agency nonacquiescence. The Brief is pleased to publish these thought-provoking and timely articles. We are delighted that these authors are adding to the public debate, and we invite our readers to examine the issues and the authors’ ideas critically.

In a continuing commitment to develop a current narrative and to foster debate we invite our print readers to follow us online through the blog, which can be found at http://legislationandpolicy.com, and through the website, which can be found at http://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/lpb/.

This spring we co-hosted a dynamic symposium with the Criminal Law Brief entitled: “Fourth Amendment in the Modern Age: Dog Sniffs, Stop and Frisks.” Thank you to our two insightful panels of speakers for their contributions. Information about this symposium and upcoming events is available on our website and our blog. Please join us in the fall for our next symposium!

Finally, I want to thank the authors for their diligence and hard work. It has been a pleasure working with each of you. Many thanks to the entire Legislation & Policy Brief team for their dedication, professionalism, and perseverance.

Very truly yours,

Nicole Winters-Brown
