Practicing law in an environment where either your client or the person
they are dealing with are not in the same jurisdiction raises unique
issues. The virtual environment also provides an opportunity for
interaction of remotely located legal team members and clients. In
addition, Second Life and other virtual worlds have their own local
cultures and civil rights issues. This session discusses these and other
practice issues unique to representing companies and individuals in a
virtual world setting.

2010 marks the three-hundredth anniversary of the Statute of Anne, the first modern copyright law, and provides a suitable occasion for looking back at the influence of this law on the history and evolution of copyright in the Anglo-American tradition and for looking forward at what lessons we can learn from this history that might better help us surmount the challenges that lie ahead for copyright in the twenty-first century.
At this two-day conference on April 9-10, 2010, an outstanding set of scholars and other experts from various disciplines will explore the past and future of copyright.
