Newsletter
eRISA Update
eRISA Update is our quarterly newsletter service. In each issue, we summarize each current development, providing analysis and, where appropriate, illustrative examples. For a list of the current developments summarized in the most recent edition of eRISA Update click here. Each current developments entry is identified by a paragraph number which will help the subscriber research the current developments by topic.
eRISA Update is available only in electronic format (PDF). By providing a separate, electronic, current developments service, we are able to ensure the information is the latest available at the time of publication.
Subscribers to eRISA Update also receive special bulletins when major new developments are released so that they will not have to wait until the next quarterly issue to receive information on such new developments.
