	Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment (FREE)

		FREE began offering its series of seminars for federal judges in 1992 and immediately established itself as a major player on the private seminar circuit.
		FREE boasts that nearly one-third of the federal judiciary has either attended or asked to enroll in a future FREE seminar and that, in 1996, nearly 150 federal judges applied for only 54 seminar openings.
