The Internet Newsletter for Lawyers covers how the internet presents the law,
how it widens access to the law, how it is affecting society and the world we live in, how it is affecting legal practice,
getting the best from your website and legal aspects of e-commerce.
The Internet Newsletter for Lawyers has become a community of lawyers, and those working with lawyers, who are
interested in the legal internet from all its "angles" - how it presents the law, how it widens access to the
law, how it is affecting society and the world we live in, legal aspects of e-commerce and websites, how
lawyers themselves use it for communicating and for improving service to their clients, how it is changing
legal practice for both solicitors and barristers, how they use the internet to market themselves and to sell
legal services on the web and IT issues relating to all these topics.
It is typically taken by lawyers interested in how to develop their website and how to make the best use
of resources online (particularly free ones), lawyers looking to develop the services they can offer their
clients, marketing people within firms and chambers working on raising their
profile and getting new work, IT staff responsible for applications related to the internet,
and librarians and information-related staff, who circulate the newsletter to those with a special interest in one or
more topics.
