The Y2k Problem: Proposed Statute To Guide Triers Of Fact In Determinations Of Negligence, William D. Horgan
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Following the coming new year, the Y2K Problem will create problems worldwide. While the exact extent of its harm is open to debate, there is no disagreement over its inevitability. In fact, some computer-related companies (including the makers of Norton Anti-Virus and Quicken for Windows have already been sued for damages arising from allegedly non-Y2K-compliant products. While various actors at all levels of business and government will be subject to legal liability for such malfunctions, this article will examine the legal liability of software producers and engineers under current remedial theories. Software manufacturers are a logical choice for this examination …
Ucita: The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, Michael J. Lockerby
Ucita: The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, Michael J. Lockerby
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
From the heated rhetoric of both proponents and opponents of UCITA, one would think that UCITA represented a radical change from current law.

A key aspect of the market-opening process is that the RBOCs, as well as generally all Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers ("ILECs") are required to provide new Competitive Local Exchange Carriers ("CLECs") access to the Operations Support Systems ("OSS"). The incumbents use OSS to serve their customers at quality levels equal to what the incumbent provides to itself.

The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (Ucita): Still Not Ready For Prime Time, James S. Heller
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
In July, 1999, the General Counsels, Vice Presidents, and other senior officers of major information industry technology companies (including Adobe Systems, Intuit, Silver Platter, Lotus, and Microsoft) wrote to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) urging adoption of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) at the then imminent NCCUSL meeting in Denver. The executives supported the adoption of UCITA because it is true to three commercial principles: commerce should be free to flourish in the electronic age, rules should support use of new (in this case electronic) technologies, and marketplace forces should determine the form …
