Hi - I think our LLM is going to be very good, with a lot of online tutorial interaction via chatrooms & message boards, but it's still in development right now. We should be taking registrations from July, with an (optional) in-person weekend meeting for everyone taking the course in London in December before Christmas (chance for
Christmas shopping!) and the courses starting at the beginning of January - we're fitting the semesters to the calendar year, with spring and autumn teaching semesters and a summer semester
mostly for dissertations. Getting the LLM will involve amassing 12 credits, with 6-8 from 1-credit modules in various IT related topics and 4 or 6 from 2-credit written dissertations for which we'll provide supervisor support. It's expected that most people will do the LLM over 2 years part time, it's possible to do it in 1 year full time if you're particularly dedicated (doing 4 credits per semester, about 30 hours/week work over the full year).

I am from malaysia. I am interested in pursuing LLM in Information Technology in UK . I appreciate if someone could give some opinion to help me in deciding between qmw and strathclyde. Both seem very good, but which one would be the best option.

Thanks.

As a part of the “Legal Framework for the Information Society Initiative”, the Center for Legal Informatics of the University of Zaragoza has recently published on its web site a new Guide on Legal Informatics. Please visit
http://www.unizar.es/derecho/fyd/guide/guide.htm
This Initative emerges as a result of the wide-ranging experience jointly carried out by a number of European Universities. With the purpose of making their activities public and to strengthen the co-operation framework by inviting further universities to join the initiative, this Guide offers an overview of the main features and topics of the teaching in legal informatics at the Universities integrating the network. Moreover, an special section is devoted to announce forthcoming conferences and meetings on legal informatics and e-government.Furthermore this Guide presents the answers to questionnaires delivered among other universities which have a long-lasting tradition in research and teaching of legal informatics and e-government.

Hi Paul - you should email itlaw@qmul.ac.uk to register your
interest, that way the forms will be sent to you when ready.

I'm aware of it - it's been running several years and has a good reputation. Its approach is a bit different from ours which focuses more on online interactive tutorials.

-Simon

Simon, thanks for your response. I am interested in the interface between tech and intellectual property. Please keep me in the know as to when application forms are ready. Btw, have you seen the Strathclyde programme? Check it out and let me know what U think.

I believe the cost is likely to be a total of &#A3;7,500 over the two years of the LLM, probably &#A3;5000 1st year and &#A3;2500 continuation fee, it will be fairly intensive with a lot of online small-group tuition (rather than the 'here's a reading list, go away and read this for two years' approach of much traditional DL). Modules will address various
communications & computer law issues, including internet law - what kind of thing are you particularly interested in?

-Simon

Hi guys! Does anyone know how much the distance IT law LLM at QMW is likely to cost? There seems to be little info about that. Secondly, who knows what the content will be ie will the course address legal issues relating to other technologies?

Sorry for the late response - just a note that the Centre for
Commercial Law Studies at Queen Mary college University of
London will be offering Diploma and LLM courses in Information
Technology Law by distance learning from October 2002. Email
itlaw@qmul.ac.uk for more info. We currently offer the University of London LLM with courses in IT Law, Internet Law, Telecoms law etc, as well as Diploma courses which are popular with practicing
solicitors.

Thanks for your reply Rianne; I'm based in the UK so to enter Law I need to do two courses named CPE and Legal Practice Course before training. I'll have to see where the LLm fits in.
A lot of work (and expense) but I think it'll be worth it!

Dear Paul F,

In response to your question I'd say: you're never to old to learn, so especially if you want to change careers: go for the LLM! I have no idea idea where you're based, but during my law studies I heard that the LLM at my alma mater (Leiden University, The Netherlands, www.leiden.edu) is very good.

Success and kind regards,

Rianne

The University of Stockholm also offers a Master’s Programme in Law and Information Technology. The courses are in English and external lecturers practicing in the field of law or computer science and colleagues from other universities (for example Ian Lloyd and Ahti Saarenpää) are invited to hold seminars.

The lectures deal with legal aspects of information technology including intellectual property rights, electronic contracting and questions about privacy (autumn term), as well as with methodological issues concerning the use of information technology in a legal context, as for example automated decision-making and document management (spring term).

Starting as a tool for practical assignments the student project “The Virtual Law Firm” developed, aiming at establishing an international network for lawyers working in the field of IT.

I previously posted a msg about the LLM at the Oslo University. I have to correct myself, the course is not related to the EULISP project (...think of it as a chance to do an erasmus during a post-grad). After an exchange of e.mails with the university of Oslo, I came to know that all the details of the course will be available at the web site around the first days od December.

Subject: University courses in the law of cyberspace

I am very much interested in those courses. I am looking for some post graduate studies about information and comunication technology law; as I live in europe, I keep an open eye on the courses related to this subject that are available in our continent. There are many chances, good
courses, and extremely well known professors. For what I can see the EULISP project (LLM in Legal Informatics) is a good chance to get a LLM (post graduate degree, master of law), and enjoy a period of study abroad.
Here's a link to know more:
http://www.eulisp.uni-hannover.de/english/

If anyone is interested in a EULISP course leading to the LLM degree in Italy, Bologna, I can help out if details are needed or help to get in touch with the university department director. (i am not affiliated to that uni, but if help is needed.. do not hesitate)

Cheers

PS: if anyone plans to do a LLM degree course next year (2002/2003) related to information technology, cyberlaw... or similiar subjects, in EUROPE, and you wanna get in touch with students also interested...please contact me.

At the University of St.Gallen (Switzerland) - in cooperation with Institute for Media and Communication Management and the Research Center for Information Law - we have every summer

Taught courses are fine, but something students interested in the area might want to try is a postgraduate research Masters examining emerging areas. Law faculties offering this option include University College Dublin (Ireland)- where I did a research Masters in Law on "Financial Services Law and the Internet". The main advantages to this approach are that you produce something unique based on a specific topic that you choose yourself.

I am the Director of Legal Education at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. We provide a very intense 4.5 day training for law enforcment, prosecutors and other child related professionals in the area of computer - facilitated exploitation of children. The curriculum involves search and seizure of electronic evidence, criminal law and civil exposure, presenting the case in chief, classic and evolving defenses, the technical investigation, presenting expert testimony in computer cases are some of the topics covered. The course is free to qualified applicants. The transportation and lodging costs may be provided by the center for qualified applicants.

Tel Aviv University, School of management, Israel

We offer class in CyberLaw (Nimrod Kozlovski,Adv.)
Course site is in Hebrew:


http://www.recanati.tau.ac.il/courses2001/...242.3241/index.html

as soon as I order my various links to cyberlaw courses I am going to post them here. A great thing would be to point to the courses available in the EU ad the US are far forward (see Lessig, Froomkin, Boyle... to name a few). I don't know exactly how things in europe are. I think there's something in the scandinavian area and in germany.

Anyway... great idea this one.
