By Jon Rubens Chair, Cyberspace Law Committee, Business Law Section Jon@jrlegalgroup.com
The cyberspace committee is back in the midst of our annual extended writing project – the Survey of the Law of Cyberspace, which is published at the end of each year in the Business Section's Law Review, The Business Lawyer. For the last few years, we have relied on a "taxonomy of cyberspace," a sort of abbreviated outline of the areas of law and cyberspace that we cover, or that we believe we might cover, in the Survey and through the work of our committee members. Take a look. Although writing is almost complete for this year, if you have any interest in contributing now or to next year's Survey, please let us know.
While our committee's work product and programming delves into many of the areas listed in the taxonomy, we don't get to all of it. For that reason, we try to use this newsletter to point our members to other programs and publications that cover these areas and may be of interest. We try to include links to other events, mention of other publications, and cyberlaw goings-on elsewhere. We recognize that cyberspace law issues of import are all over the place these days, and other groups may be addressing them in an interesting or significant way. And many of our members and leaders work on these issues outside of the context of the committee – and we want to let each other know about that work. Think of the committee newsletter as a frequent report on the activities of this committee and also as a link to additional cyberlaw developments, events, and content. We hope it's a useful tool for our members.
