Welcome to the second issue of The
Richmond Journal of Law and Technology's seventh publication
term. As we near the halfway point of this term, the Journal
is stronger than ever. Our continued growth and success is due
in large part to the dedication of our staff and Editorial
Board. This year we will publish four issues and will hold
a symposium on the soon-to-be-enacted Uniform Computer Information
Transactions Act ("UCITA"). The symposium will be held
on March 2, 2001. Registration for and information on the symposium
will be available on our website soon.
This special issue will document the events of two conferences:
The University of Richmond's Ninth Annual Austin Owen Symposium
and Lecture and The Eighteenth Annual National Regulatory
Conference. The Austin Owen Symposium provided a substantive
overview of three areas of technology law which are relevant,
timely, and controversial: business method patents, consumer privacy
on the Internet, and the UCITA. The Regulatory Conference covers
the issue of consumer choice in electric utilities.
In addition to providing our readers with the substance of those
events, this issue breaks new ground for the Journal. Taking
full advantage of our online capabilities, we have made several
of the PowerPoint presentations from the conferences available
to our readers. These presentations are available only to users
of a recent version of Internet
Explorer. We hope you enjoy this new feature.
In this issue we offer our readers over 30 presentations by legal
practitioners, members of the technology industry, scholars, and
representatives of the business community. Issue 2 offers a broad
range of topics from a broad range of presenters and I am sure
you will find it useful and informative.
Thank you for visiting The Richmond Journal of Law and Technology.
As always, we welcome your comments, suggestions, general feedback,
and submissions at jolt@richmond.edu.
Thank you for your readership and your continued support of our
publication.
