*UP-TO-DATE LEGAL GUIDE TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES*

First to enter the field and now in its third decade of 
publication, the Journal provides attorneys and scholars 
with a guide to issues arising from the interaction of 
computers, emerging technologies, and the law. The JournalUs 
broad national and international circulation has established 
its reputation as an effective and respected forum for 
technology issues. The Journal has been cited in numerous 
texts and articles, both foreign and domestic, and by the 
United States Supreme Court.

In addition to provocative articles by leading commentators 
and jurists, the Journal publishes timely book reviews by 
authorities in the field and includes a comprehensive 
research source: _The Index and Annual Selected Bibliography 
on Computers, Technology, and the Law_.

The Journal is an effective means of staying abreast of the 
latest judicial and theoretical developments in the rapidly 
changing computer and high technology areas.
