CALL FOR PAPERS
IASTED International Conference on
Law and Technology 1999 (LawTech '99)

Purpose

New areas of law are arising, established areas are being transformed,

scholarship.

The conference encompasses a dual focus: firstly, as an academic forum
for legal debate on new and developing areas of law relating to

The conference will act as an invaluable meeting place between scientists,
engineers, and lawyer.
