    Internet Newsletter for Lawyers & Law 2.0 and how to subscribe
    The July/August 2009 issue will be available very soon!
    The Newsletter provides an up to date overview of "what is important for lawyers on the web". It covers the legal resources available on the web (for free or on a subscription basis) and what lawyers are doing themselves on the web - marketing themselves from their web sites, selling legal services online and just improving their existing services to clients by use of the internet. It covers Law 2.0 (how Web 2.0 affects the Law) and explains how lawyers can get ahead of the game with these new developments. It is a very practical "how to do it" sort of newsletter - and very useful.

What is it and what relevance does it have for lawyers? Finally, the e-book looks at the subject of public sector information: how it is “opening up” to public access and re-use and how the foundations are being laid for “Gov 2.0”.
