This paper, building on those perspectives, first offers a real world scenario showing how these technologies might be deployed to maximize client and community access to Legal Services resources. For each scenario, the paper then lays out what needs to be in place - technologically, managerially and institutionally, for the scenario to be made real.

Cd-Rom Briefs: Are We There Yet?, Marilyn Devin
The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process
Three years after the first CD-ROM brief was accepted, there is debate on acceptance as a regular practice. Issues include what the legal profession and the courts have done about adopting CD-ROM briefs, what obstacles are being encountered, and how those obstacles are being dealt with. Both views are examined along with the circumstances in which a CD-ROM brief is likely to be accepted favorably by a court.

The Case For A U.S. Privacy Commissioner: A Canadian Commissioner’S Perspective, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2000), William S. Challis, Ann Cavoukian
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The demands of social democratic government, the growth of electronic commerce, and the advance of technology have fueled the debate over internet privacy. Technology offers unprecedented opportunities but can also become tools of abuse. Debate in the United States centers around the conflicting interests of industry self-control versus government regulation. Technological and market-based solutions are ineffective because they lead to inadequate and inconsistent protection. Many user-driven privacy choices can impede the growth of consumer trust. Voluntarily adopted privacy policies are either extremely limited or easily circumvented with tracking technology that allows no consumer control over the collection of their personal …

The De Facto Federal Privacy Commission, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 109 (2000), Steven Hetcher
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The United States is well on its way to having a federal agency that regulates online privacy. In the last five years, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has assumed increasing jurisdiction over online privacy. The FTC’s true intent to regulate online privacy became evident when it recommended that Congress enact legislation to strengthen its growing power to regulate internet privacy. The FTC uses threats of administrative enforcement actions to guide industry self-regulation through the use of unfair trade practices actions. The FTC acts because consumers feel entitled to data privacy and promotes Web site privacy practices through education and attempts …

Toward An Architecture Of Privacy For The Virtual World, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 151 (2000), Paul Toscano
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The internet is expanding. As users become more computer literate, the world becomes more reliant on the virtual one. The internet and wireless communications have fostered global commerce on an unprecedented scale. Because it lacks boundaries, cyberspace is difficult for regulate with traditional methods of governance. Security, privacy, and integrity of information are thus available to only a minority of users in restricted communities. Outside, users are on their own or must rely on the partial solutions available to them. To date, there is no consensus on what security, privacy, and integrity of information really mean. The internet needs a …

Database Nation: Does Information Technology Of The 21st Century Pose A Daunting Threat To Personal Privacy In America, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 197 (2000), Robert S. Gurwin, Nicole D. Milos
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In this book review of Simon Garfinkel's "Database Nation: The death of privacy in the 21st century," the author echoes George Orwell's prophetic vision of a totalitarian government prying on citizens' privacy in "1984." However, Database Nation presents a future where privacy has become a costly commodity: individuals fight dearly to hold such privacy from prying eyes. From the history of information age to advocating privacy protection legislations, the author discusses how Garfinkel pieces together the forming of the database nation. From health care providers to credit bureaus and from satellite surveillance to consumer purchasing habits, Garfinkel urges readers to …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The desire to explore new worlds and to exchange ideas and goods should be the impetus behind the Internet, the virtual Silk Road connecting the east and west. The Chinese government considers the Internet a vital part of its modernization plans. There are millions of Chinese citizens online and that number continues to grow. China’s policy towards online privacy regulation will have a significant impact on the rest of the world. Technology has outpaced law in the arena of privacy regulation. Some scholars believe the Internet should be unregulated. Others fear that commerce will overrun privacy concerns. The sheer volume …

In Congress Electric: The Need For On-Line Parliamentary Procedure, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 963 (2000), Phil Reiman
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Building a set of rules for operating an ordered, effective online association is the first step toward building virtual communities and the first step toward a democratic "e-government." Disputes online are not rare; they are just rarely resolved. Currently, online forums are watched over by a moderator, who is charged with keeping the discussion on track, and to keeping the debate from getting personal. Almost everyone who has been in an online discussion is aware of "Netiquette", the informal rules that govern chat room conversations. Everyone is equally aware that these rules are often ignored. While the exchange of ideas …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Before 1994, the average Internet user received little unsolicited commercial email, or "spam." But that all changed in April 1994, when enterprising Arizona lawyers Laurence Canter and Martha Siegel sent spam advertising their immigration law "services" to approximately 8,000 Usenet newsgroups reaching approximately 20 million people. It inspired irate Usenet users to flame Canter and Siegel in such great volume that the attorneys' ISP's computer crashed. The computer overloads Canter and Siegel's stunt caused also completely knocked out New Zealand's Internet access. But the ads must have worked because despite the fallout, Cander and Siegel persisted in their spam ad …

Invasion Of The Information Snatchers: Creating Liability For Corporations With Vulnerable Computer Networks, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1019 (2000), Sarah Faulkner
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Computer hackers are a serious threat to businesses and their customers, particularly if those businesses operate complex computer networks or operate as on-line businesses. However, now that corporate telecommunication networks are becoming more sophisticated, a company's phone system may also be susceptible to invasion. These telephonic hackers, called phone phreaks (and telecom hacking itself is known as phreaking), can cause large monetary losses as well. The question of who is liable for these losses, losses that are specifically caused by illegal activity, is the subject of this comment. This comment addresses the issue of liability for monetary losses in the …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
A recent scandal erupted in the press when a painting that was offered for sale on an Internet auction site was believed to be a lost contemporary masterpiece. The seller appeared to be a married man who was cleaning junk out of his garage, including a painting that his wife would not let him hang in the house. A bidding frenzy drove the price from the opening bid of 25 cents to more than $135,000 from a buyer in the Netherlands. After the sale was finished (it was ended by EBay when they learned he bid on the painting himself …
