Dalhousie University is sponsoring a computer conference under
CONFER on an MTS system at Wayne State University in Michigan.
The people in the conference include lawyers interested in computers
as well as computer science types interested in law.
Topics of discussion include computer applications to law, legal issues
such as patents, copyrights and trade secrets in the context of computers,
CAI in legal education, and AI in law.
For those who aren't familiar with Confer, it provides a medium which
is somewhat more structured than Usenet for discussions. People post
"items", and "discussion responses" are grouped chronologically (and
kept forever) under the item. All of the files are on one machine only.
The conference is just starting up. Dalhousie has obtained a grant to
fund everyone's participation, which means anyone who is interested
can join for free. Access is through Telenet or Datapac, and the
collect charges are picked up by the grant.
If anyone is interested in joining this conference (called Law:Forum),
please drop me a line.
