Advertising Compliance Service's
Many Features

 

     Advertising Compliance Service™ covers advertising legal developments in depth. ACS contains a wealth of important features that will be very briefly discussed on this page. To summarize, Advertising Compliance Service™ consists of the following:

 

     1. The foundational multi-volume reference set organized for your convenience into 26 subject categories. New subscribers receive three-volumes containing approximately 1,000 pages of past Issues already filed.

 

     2. 24 Information-Packed Issues annually.

 

     Advertising Compliance Service™ is published on the first and third Mondays of every month. Each issue of the Service contains several articles, the topics of which fall within the 26 subject headings described below. Each Issue is designed to be easily disassembled, and the articles filed behind the appropriate "tabs." The tab location for each article is printed at the top of each page of the article, so that refiling is quick and easy. In addition, complete filing instructions for each issue of Advertising Compliance Service™ appear at the end of the "Bulletin" section of the issue. (On March 19, 2007, we published our 614th Issue!).

 

     3. Lawyer's Reference Service

 

     At the end of every article* in Advertising Compliance Service™ is the "Lawyer's Reference Service," in which appear all cases (with full citations), statutes, laws, rules and regulations mentioned in the article as well as pertinent or source publications to which the author of the article has referred. (*The only exceptions are the "Roundups" which contain these references internally rather than at the end of the article.)

 

     4. 6 Special Reports

 

     Six Special Reports are sent to our subscribers during the volume year. These Reports include the full texts of:

 

  • Landmark advertising compliance court decisions.
  • Important federal legislation.
  • Key administrative rules, regulations, decisions or cases.
  • Major federal agency actions and/or pronouncements.
  • Analyses of important advertising law topics.

 

     5. Comprehensive INDEX and numerous TABLES

 

     Advertising Compliance Service™ has an arsenal of research tools to make finding important topics and cases quick and easy.

 

     The remainder of this discussion examines the Contents of Advertising Compliance Service.

     This tab is your starting point for all up-to-the-minute developments. It consists of four parts: (a) Our "From the Editor in Chief" section gives you an "at-a-glance" summary of the articles for the current report. (b) "Brief News of Note" gives you a quick rundown of the latest ad compliance developments.
