FARA.us Releases Updated Advisory Opinion Index

FARA.us now features an updated Index of all 199 FARA Advisory Opinions that have been released publicly by the Department of Justice.  Here is a listing of the Index’s new features:

• New Column for Related Advisory Opinions. For nearly every Advisory Opinion, at least one other “related” Advisory Opinions is now listed to facilitate cross-referencing by Index users.  This particular information column will continue to evolve and expand over time.
• New Information. For each Advisory Opinion, the updated Index now lists the Department’s analysis of each “agent” element: whether conduct was “within the United States,” which indicators of an agent-principal relationship were mentioned (e.g. payment, contract), and which categories of registrable conduct were found (e.g. “information-service employee,” “political activities”).
