Today, ISS's Securities Class Action Services released the newest version of its SCAS database, which tracks thousands of securities class actions going back over a decade. The recent enhancements allow users to search the database in powerful new ways, such as by:

--law firm;
--court (Circuit, District, State);
--case status (active, settled, disbursed, dismissed)
--filing date;
--settlement date;
--dismissal date

or combinations of any of the above (e.g., all active cases that Milberg Weiss filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland between February 5, 2000 and March 13, 2002).

The SCAS database also provides real-time email alerts (with 24-hour/day coverage) whenever new cases are filed, cases are settled, or other key events, as well as copies of Complaints, Settlement Notices and Claim Forms.

As a thank you to Securities Litigation Watch readers, I would like to offer a free trial of the new SCAS database to anyone who is interested in checking it out. Send an email to scas@issproxy.com with the word "TRIAL" in the caption and I will send you a user name and password. [Update: Please also include the following basic contact information--Name; Organization; Address; Phone].

Thanks,

Bruce Carton
Executive Director--SCAS
