LOCATION LawTech 2002 will be held at the Cambridge Marriott in Massachusetts, adjacent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world's most prestigious universities. Located across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge offers an exciting multicultural setting as well as two of the world's premier educational institutions. Founded in 1630 as the first seat of government for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Cambridge has developed into an international community merging history, education, arts, and culture within its lively neighborhoods. Attractions include Harvard Square, Beacon Hill, and the Faneuil Hall Marketplace. The heavy industries of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been replaced by technology-based enterprises, including electronics, self-developing film and cameras, software, and biotechnology research.
PURPOSE This conference is an international forum for lawyers and engineers interested in understanding the latest developments and implications of technology in the field of law. It is an opportunity to exchange ideas and information related to the intersection of these two areas. The conference will address both the legal ramifications of new technology and how technology advances the field of law. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.
