  1. Legal Framework of Information Society LEFIS Durham Workshop 2004 Information Society e-Legal Education: Integrating the Social Economic and Political Context Prof. Abdul Paliwala, Univeristy of Warwick; Director (ICT) UK Centre for Legal Education; Electronic Law Journals; Law Courseware Consortium

  2. Conceptual Changes • Impact of IT on nature of law and governance • Lessig – Code in Law • Castells – Network = organisational form • Globalisation – of IT & of Law • Therefore redefinitions • Democracy, Separation of Powers, Rule of Law • Self-regulation • Global, regional and national • Hard and soft law, legal networks

  3. CODE in Law Cyberspace has an architecture; its code — the software and hardware that defines how cyberspace is — is its architecture. That architecture embeds certain principles; its sets the terms on which one uses the space; it defines what’s possible in the space. And these terms and possibilities affect innovation in the space. Some architectures invite innovation; others chill it. The Code in Law, and the Law in Code Lawrence Lessig † http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/works/lessig/pcforum.pdf

  4. Network Society In the information age, the critical organisational form is networking. The most critical distinction in this organisational logic is to be or not to be – in the network. Be in the network, and you can share and, over time, increase your chances. Be out of the network, or become switched off, and your chances vanish since everything that counts is organised around a world wide web of interacting networks (Castells 1998).
