'Strategic' Roundup of Blawgs, Trends

If the job of this blog is to watch and round up what's happening at other blogs, then we must extend a debt of gratitude to Ron Friedmann, whose Strategic Legal Technology has done our work for us, offering its own roundup of legal trends, blog postings, technology news and legal developments.

Of particular interest among the items Friedmann points to is the recent First Monday article by David R. Johnson, "The Life of the Law Online." In it, Johnson explores this premise:

"I would like to suggest that the law (a legal system, generally, such as the U.S. legal system as we know it) has a life of its own. The law is an organism rather than a mechanism. It is alive. And I want to explore the implications of this for the development of law(s) to govern the global Internet."

Friedmann recommends it be read together with a companion piece by Johnson and David Post, "The Great Debate - Law in the Virtual World," in which the authors ask, "Should cyberspace (or subsets of cyberspace) be treated as distinct 'places' for purposes of legal analysis?"
