Leg@l.IT Legal Technology Conference in Montreal Later This Month

The Young Bar Association of Montreal, the Canadian Bar Association and the Montreal Bar are organizing Leg@l.IT 2008 on April 21, 2008 at the Centre Mont-Royal in downtown Montreal.

It is a major conference about the impacts of information technologies on the practice of law.

The conference will deal with a range of issues including:

• online privacy
• transborder legal issues
• collaborative technologies for lawyers and clients
• cybercrime
• e-discovery
• blogs for lawyers
• electronic contracts and consumer protection

Dominic Jaar, one of the contributors to Slaw.ca, the cooperative Canadian weblog on legal research to which I occasionally contribute, is the director of the organizing committee of Leg@l.IT 2008.
