Footers The Future of legal Scholarship and Scholarly Communication Publication in the Age of cyberspace. by. David A. Rier*. There is a saying http://www3.uakron.edu/lawrev/rier1.html
Extractions: Publication in the Age of Cyberspace by David A. Rier* There is a saying in the personal computer trade: "You can have it faster, cheaper, better pick any two. " This axiom comes to mind when confronting how technology is redefining the publication process, more rapidly than we may realize. These changes may well make academic publication faster and cheaper. But given some of the tradeoffs involved, it is less clear that these changes always make publication better, as well. In a recent paper (distributed electronically, in exemplification of the trends it discusses), Professor Bernard Hibbitts examines the revolutionary potential of new technology for revisingindeed, supplantingwhat has been one of the most tradition-bound of scholarly endeavors: the law review. In Part I of this paper, I will review the essentials of Hibbitts's discussion, and his argument that electronic self-publication of legal scholarship soon willand shouldreplace the edited, printed law review as we know it today. In Part II, I apply sociological analysis to explore some special features of the audience for and functions of legal scholarship. I will build upon this discussion in Part III, which explains why legal scholarship is a poor candidate for electronic self-publication, and why self-publication is a poor use of the Internet's potential for scholarly communication. In the concluding Part IV, I outline some counter-proposals for improving legal scholarship and scholarly communication in light of new dissemination technologies.

Building on this work, CSTB proposes to conduct a set of studies (or perhaps a series of workshops) that seek to develop a sound intellectual principles-based underpinning for extending existing law into cyberspace more generally. The following broad categories of law seem appropriate for further development.

Extractions: How will the availability of information over the Internet affect authors and their readers and publishers? Decisions over access to electronic information are being made on national and international levels with little regard for new technologies and their impact on new markets. New regulations may indeed only restrict access to information and impede the application of new technologies by authors and their audiences. Additionally, these legal solutions may only retard the development of more appropriate models for cyberspace. No sooner did governments around the world "discover" cyberspace than they became intent on regulating it. One area in which the push for tougher regulations has been especially strong concerns the legal protection of authors' rights in cyberspace. Representatives of the Clinton Administration and of the European Commission have been especially active in lobbying for a new international treaty to strengthen authors' rights in cyberspace. There are several reasons to question the White Paper's assertions. First, it is simply not true that there is no content available in digital networked environments. The World Wide Web and the Internet are replete with sites containing many megabytes of information which site masters wish to share with other people. While much of the information available on the Internet today is free, creative people are managing to find ways to make money even from free distributions of information on the Web. The Hotwired site, for example, makes considerable revenues from advertising. And some electronic publications on the Web are charging fees to users, often by subscription charges. The notion that the existing information infrastructure for digital information is all empty pipeline awaiting content is simply a myth.

Extractions: First Published in Web Journal of Current Legal Issues in association with Blackstone Press Ltd. This article develops primarily Susskind's thesis about the future of law given present and expected trends in information technology (IT). It identifies a range of factors that need to be considered when analysing three key components of his thesis, adding extensive comparisons with Japan. Finding the thesis plausible and relevant also to Japan, the article imagines what the day in the life of a `lawyer' in 2020 might be like. It then considers implications for legal academia over the next two decades, based partly on various experiments in recent years. The article concludes on a note of `inconclusion', however, suggesting that the future of law in cyberspace is tied up with much broader issues of technological change and governance amidst globalisation.

Extractions: CRA Staff Date: January 1995 Section: Policy News Although our society has traditionally shunned pornography, it has learned to cope by keeping it out of public viewhiding adult videos in back rooms, limiting sex shops to red-light districts and confining the sex industry to big cities where people are more tolerant. But as these activities migrate to the Internet and public bulletin board systems, traditional legal and social mechanisms of control are proving less effective. Some experts forecast a political storm just over the horizon, especially as the Internet attracts increasing publicity and a wider audience of young children and conservative elders. They even suggest that new technologies ultimately may force the Supreme Court to revisit its 1973 interpretation that balances First Amendment rights with state and local obscenity laws. "What we are now headed for is a new crisis in obscenity law," Mike Godwin, staff counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said at the recent Sex, Cyberspace and the First Amendment forum. Held at the CATO Institutea conservative, libertarian think tank in Washington, DCforum participants raised a number of thorny issues regarding the affect of technology on obscenity law.
