"U.S.-Mexico Legal Review" from ABA.

The Mexico Committee of the section of International Law of the American Bar Association (Chicago, IL) has begun the publication of the "U.S.-Mexico Legal Review," a new print and online publication described as a new forum for publishing articles about U.S.-Mexican legal issues. An outgrowth of the Committee's "Mexico Update" newsletter, the new journal is targeted to attorneys, policy makers, educators and related professionals involved in the U.S. and Mexican legal systems.

The Committee said the new title is being published in response to both the increased interest in Mexico's efforts to improve the regulation of its economy through antitrust reform, real estate issues and capital markets regulation and because Mexican law is "rapidly becoming 'the most important foreign law' in the U.S. because of the unique geographic, demographic and economic ties between the countries."

The initial issue of the title contains articles on the securitization of mortgage loans in Mexico, securities market legislation, the mixed-use trend in Mexican real estate, timeshares, co-ownership and fractional interest in Mexico, and the role of trustee in Mexican real estate transactions. Future issues will include information on such topics as arbitration, Mexican Supreme Court decisions, anti-drug legislation and actions, environmental developments, and border issues.
