Aims and Scope: 

The last decade has seen the introduction of computers and 
information technology at many levels of human transaction. 
Information technology (IT) is now used for data collation, 
in daily commercial transactions like transfer of funds, 
conclusion of contract, and complex diagnostic purposes in 
fields such as law, medicine and transport. The use of IT 
has expanded rapidly with the introduction of multimedia 
and the Internet. Any new technology inevitably raises a 
number of questions ranging from the legal to the ethical 
and the social. 

Information & Communications Technology Law covers topics 
such as: the implications of IT for legal processes and 
legal decision-making and related ethical and social 
issues  the liability of programmers and expert system 
builders  computer misuse and related policing issues  
intellectual property rights in algorithms, chips, 
databases, software etc  IT and competition law  data 
protection  freedom of information  the nature of privacy, 
legal controls in the dissemination of pornographic, racist 
and defamatory material on the Internet  network policing  
regulation of the IT industry  problems of computer 
representation and the computational semantics of law  the 
role of visual or image-based legal ‘mental models’  
general public policy and philosophical aspects of law and 
IT. 

The journal invites articles, national reports and case 
notes on the above and related topics. All submissions are 
independently refereed. The journal is published three 
times a year with one issue a year devoted to a particular 
theme. The 1999 special issue will focus on the subject of 
Internet Law.
