This year we hope to have a particular focus on the following areas:
encouraging free access to law
in developing countries; Europe's moves toward coordinated free access
to law;
social impact of access to legal information; legislation systems;
search
techniques for legal information; and innovative research uses of
online
legal data. Papers in these areas are particularly welcome.
Papers may be submitted on other topics dealing with
internet-based
legal resources. Papers will not be accepted concerning 'cyberspace
law'
(except those relating directly to legal resources on the web, such as
liability issues or Crown copyright), or concerning legal
computerisation
unrelated to the internet (CD-ROM products etc).
Papers submitted should constitute more than a site
description , and
should raise issues of theoretical or practical importance to others
who
are developing or using internet-based law resources.
We hope you can join us in November.
