A truncated version of the brochure more suitable for posting as it would
fit on one 8 1/2 by ll sheet of paper follows. Law Librarians are more
than welcome to participate in or audit the symposium.

On-Line ABA Symposium on the Future of Limited Liability Entities
All interested lawyers, law professors and law students (see note at
foot) with Internet email or Web browser access are invited to participate
without charge. The symposium will be presented on-line over the Internet
September 11 through 25. (Late enrollees will be able to use either email
file request for the message archive or their Web browser to catch up on
the listserv messages that were circulated before they enrolled.)
The symposium is sponsored by The ABA Real Property, Probate and
Trust Law Section and by The Business Lawyer, journal of the ABA Business
Law Section. Two dozen experts from these two sections and the ABA Tax
Section will serve as a panel to keep the symposium rolling. The
proceedings of the two-week-long symposium will be edited for publication
in the May, 1997 issue of the Business Lawyer, which among
law reviews ranks, next to Harvard, as the second most cited review.
The IRS held its hearings last month on a proposed set of regulations
that will revolutionize the choice of private business entities. Although
the proposed regulations will greatly simplify the structuring of private
entities for both domestic and international ventures, the new flexibility
will put even greater responsibility on lawyers in the counseling of their
clients on the choice and sturcture of the entity and the drafting of the
entity's documents to fit their client's needs.
How to subscribe: You may subscribe to LNET-LLC, which is the
listserv hosting the symposium, by sending an email message to
LISTSERV@USA.NET with the following as the first line of the body of your
email message:
subscribe LNET-LLC Jane Doe City State
Please substitute your name for Jane Doe and your city and state for City
State. If you are a law professor or student, substitute an abbreviated
name of your law school (without the words law school, college or
university since those will be assumed) for City State.
Law students have been permited to participate in the host group, the
LNET-LLC listserv, where the lawyers and law professors involved have been
favorably impressed by most of the questions--although there have not been
very many--that the students have asked. Law students may "audit" the
symposium by signing on to the LNET-LLC listserv. However, they should
refrain from asking questions during the symposium unless they run the
question by jdebruyn@usa.net or one of the professors listed in the
brochure, a professor at their school or lawyer they know with experience
in the area.
