Greenleaf outlined eight strategies that can support the aims of the Free Access to Law Movement which include maximizing free access, assisting local organisations and an implied goal of high quality. Among the eight strategies he mentioned were encouragement of all Legal Information Institutes (also small ones), the essential right of republication of governmental works (especially in maintaining workflows), broadening of LII content, publishing legal scholarship and the importance of subject-specific libraries.

The first conference of this kind took place in Sidney, Australia, in 1997. In 2008 about 300 participants, from 39 countries of the 5 continents, attended the conference.

Methods of creation and access to legal data have been influenced a great deal by information and data transmission-technologies. This years conference focused on "digital legal information", analyzing its aspects in the light of the idea of freedom of digital legal culture and knowledge and of the technological progress that is shaping law. Knowledge of quality legal information makes it possible for citizens to exercise their democratic rights and safeguard the rules set by the judicial system.

The Conference Proceedings have been published: Law via the Internet. Free Access, Quality of Information, Effectiveness of Rights (Legal Information and Communication Technologies) (Paperback), Ginevra Peruginelli (Editor), Mario Ragona (Editor), 496 pages,

The conference was opened by Nicola Palazzolo, Director of ITTIG, Federico Gelli, Vice-president of Region of Tuscany, Andrea Di Porto, Member of the Board of Directors of the CNR, and Daniel Poulin, Representative of LIIs. Frederico Gelli emphasised the new issue of illiteracy concerning access to Internet. 300 Million Euros are being spent at the moment in order to spread broadband connections. In addition 250 places with internet access are created, also providing assistance for using the Internet. Daniel Poulin opened with a short history of the legal information institutes (LII) around the world, starting 1992 with Tom Bruce at Cornell University. At the moment there are 25 LIIs world-wide. The main question being access to legal information vs access to legal justice.]]>Christine Kirchberger (iinek-law@gmx.info)Thoughts2009-10-09T01:24:56+02:00http://iinek.net/news/files/baf3453896fdc586d5f78591a09b2ec6-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://iinek.net/news/files/baf3453896fdc586d5f78591a09b2ec6-4.html#unique-entry-id-4(EN) Quite interesting tool, giving some insight into user's search behaviour in general. I added a test page on it here. Where are the studies on users of legal information? Or to start with, do legally trained persons search differently than the rest of the world?

(EN) In his keynote speech Stephen Mason addressed issues on electronic evidence. The output of a device that is evidence is analogue even if the device is digital. Digital device cannot be touched or felt, therefore e.g. a mobile phone is the primary evidence, while the secondary evidence is the print-out. Mason stressed the importance of knowing how to analyse evidence, as most evidence in courts is being submitted electronically at the moment.]]>Christine Kirchberger (iinek-law@gmx.info)ConferenceLegal Informatics2007-09-14T17:40:40+02:00http://iinek.net/news/files/158dbbf0b2e9c6af494a526aa49a221e-1.html#unique-entry-id-1http://iinek.net/news/files/158dbbf0b2e9c6af494a526aa49a221e-1.html#unique-entry-id-1Regulating Technologies - King’s College London, 7-8 April 2007, London, UK.
