Navigating Through The Fog Of Cloud Computing Contracts, 30 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L.13 (2013), T. Noble Foster
Navigating Through The Fog Of Cloud Computing Contracts, 30 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L.13 (2013), T. Noble Foster
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This paper explores legal issues associated with cloud computing, provides analysis and commentary on typical clauses found in contracts offered by well-known cloud service providers, and identifies strategies to mitigate the risk of exposure to cloud-based legal claims in the critical areas of data security, privacy, and confidentiality. While current research offers numerous case studies, viewpoints, and technical descriptions of cloud processes, our research provides a close examination of the language used in cloud contract terms. Analysis of these contract terms supports the finding that most standard cloud computing contracts are unevenly balanced in favor of the cloud service provider. …

Safeguarding "The Precious": Counsel On Law Journal Publication Agreements In Digital Times, 28 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 217 (2010), Michael N. Widener
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Heaping scholarship fills the academic print and online press about where legal scholars should publish and how to have one’s paper accepted for publication. But there is scarce writing about the contractual relationship between the law journal and the author of an accepted paper. This may be due in part to broadly misconstrued or ignored publication agrees, or perhaps that the business relationship is unworthy of scholarly attention. Regardless, this paper introduces a pragmatist’s perspective on evaluating and revising publication agreements, and informs student editors how publication agreements accomplish a journal’s objectives, based on current copyright law. Finally, this paper …

When Contract Negotiations No Longer Protect Your Business Interests: The Strange World Of Third Party Business Interests Under Freedom Of Information Legislation, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 455 (2009), Emir Aly Crowne-Mohammed
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Freedom of information legislation is designed to promote access to governmental information. The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act of British Columbia (“BC Act”) is no different. The BC Act views access to governmental information as promoting democracy, transparency, and citizenry, thereby making “public bodies more accountable to the public and…protect[ing] personal privacy by…giving the public a right of access to records” inter alia. The right to access governmental information, however, is not unfettered. There are certain protected instances where the public good may actually be harmed by undue access to governmental information such as policy recommendations developed …
Lessons For The Hague: Internet Jurisdiction In Contract And Tort Cases In The European Community And The United States, 23 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2004), Moritz Keller
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
With the increasing use of the Internet, all on-line users, web site owners, e-commerce companies and consumers alike, feel the need to be able to rely on clear standards for a potential contract or tort lawsuit following the Internet presence that could lead to multinational litigation. This goal could be achieved if the negotiations of the Hague Convention on international jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters succeed in harmonizing the rules of the different legal systems around the globe, or at least create a minimum standard for legal cases which would benefit greatly e-commerce and …
The Implied Warranty Of Merchantability In Software Contracts: A Warranty No One Dares To Give And How To Change That, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 393 (1998), Robert W. Gomulkiewicz
The Implied Warranty Of Merchantability In Software Contracts: A Warranty No One Dares To Give And How To Change That, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 393 (1998), Robert W. Gomulkiewicz
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Software publishers disclaim the implied warranty of merchantability because the repercussions of recognizing such warranties are unknown. The purpose underlying implied warranties of merchantability is to ensure that the consumer is receiving a product that meets a minimal standard of consumer expectation; however, this threshold is difficult to measure when attempting to measure consumer expectation of computer software. The proposed U.C.C. Article 2B seeks to remedy this problem by removing some of the ambiguity. The implied warranty of merchantability had its genesis in the English commodities markets. As an action in tort, the implied warranty of merchantability protected a buyer …
Decloaking Development Contracts, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 403 (1998), Micalyn S. Harris
Decloaking Development Contracts, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 403 (1998), Micalyn S. Harris
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Proposed Article 2B seeks to minimize the conflict between the software developer and a client as to whether the contract is for goods or services. If the contract is for goods, then the client would receive the protection of a buyer under Article 2 of the U.C.C. If the contract is for services, then Article 2 does not apply and the relationship is governed by contract and common law principles. Proposed Article 2B will resolve this conflict by recognizing that development contracts are a mixture of goods and services and will also seek to provide default rules. Section 2B-617(b) of …
Computer Software: Should The U.N. Convention On Contracts For The International Sale Of Goods Apply? A Contextual Approach To The Question, 11 Computer L.J. 197 (1991), L. Scott Primak

Part one also suggests the use of available tools for uniform application; and brings the topic of dissemination of interpretation of the Convention up to date.
