        E-Mail for Legal Information Exchange - Europewide.

                   - A new list on EARN/BITNET -


  Legal matters  are more  and  more  transnational.  For  academic
 research, contact with foreign legal systems is almost an everyday
 occurrence. Someone  - outside  Scandinavia  -  needs  information
 about the  "Nordic Tax  Treaty". Another - outside Germany - wants
 to know,  where and how air pollution control is regulated in that
 country: by  federal agencies  or by  the "Laender"?  The need for
 statutory information to be current is essential in these times of
 change. For  persons from  law faculties  and law libraries in the
 countries affected,  it would be relatively easy to give an answer
 or at  least to  point in  the  right  direction.  Many  would  be
 prepared to  help. It's  just a  question of coming together - for
 example, via Electronic Mail.

  To arrange  this, a  EURO-LEX  (All  EUROpean  Legal  Information
 EXchange) list  has been  set up  on the  EARN/BITNET network. The
 list started in March '92. EURO-LEX will allow the exchange of and
 mutual assistance  with legal information research in all European
 countries. Each  entry will  be automatically  transmitted to  all
 list members.

  EARN -  it stands for: "European Academic and Research Network" -
 is especially  well  suited  for  communication  between  academic
 institutions, because  it is  available in the computer centres of
 most universities in all European countries - Western and Eastern.
 The operation  of Electronic  Mail in this network is impressively
 uncomplicated. To enter and send a message is as simple as writing
 down a  note and  easier than telephoning. No problem, if you come
 from another  network,  like  UUCP,  X.400,  JANET,  INTERNET,  or
 others, because  Listservers of  EARN/BITNET are  accessible  from
 many different  networks. Ask  your institution's  computer centre
 for details.

  Especially invited  to participate  in EURO-LEX  are  members  of
 legal faculties  and legal library staffs at European universities
 and other  academic institutions.  Experts  in  specialized  legal
 fields are  as welcome as "allrounders" in legal documentation and
 information. The  list is  also open to other interested parties -
 and to  the simply  curious, too.  Commercial activities, however,
 are not  allowed on EARN. The list is intended to be multilingual,
 but, to  avoid it  becoming a  Babel, at  least the  essence of an
 inquiry or note should be delivered or repeated in English.



   How to sign up for the LIST:
   ============================

 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
 +                                                                 +

 +                                                                 +

 +   4)  Dispatch with the SEND button or with the command "SEND"  +
 +                                                                 +
 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +


 Only the subscription should be sent to LISTSERV; all other

 Of course you can also send messages or answer directly to another
 subscriber, if you know his or her E-Mail address.



             The following messages must again be sent
             to LISTSERV and not to EURO-LEX.

        +     If you want to leave the list, send the     +
        +     message:                                    +
        +         signoff  EURO-LEX                       +
        +     if you want to interrupt the delivery of    +
        +     mail, send the message:                     +
        +         set  EURO-LEX  NOMail                   +
        +     and to receive mail again, the message:     +
        +         set  EURO-LEX  Mail                     +
        +                                                 +
        + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
