    CHICAGO, Feb. 23, 2018 — The long-awaited 2018 edition of the “ABCs of Arbitrage: Tax Rules for Investment of Bond Proceeds by Municipalities,” now available, is filled with new insights and information.

    The new edition of this best-seller is updated and expanded to help lawyers master both the most basic and complicated aspects of arbitrage by translating the complex issues into concise, practical language. The book covers the rules of arbitrage, the relevant International Revenue Service code sections and the regulations and technical terms used in this practice.
