THE LEGAL GROUP FOR
THE INTERNET IN CANADA

LoGIC wants to put you on the Web

The Legal Group for the Internet in Canada (LoGIC) calls on authors of legal essays and articles to submit their work for presentation on the World Wide Web. Interested persons should read the information in this notice carefully.

Introduction

LoGIC is a conduit for the exchange of information and ideas about policies concerning emerging communication and information technologies. We are devoted to ensuring informed public, legislative, and regulatory responses to these technologies, which at present are manifest most profoundly in the Internet. We want to ensure that new laws and regulations have no detrimental effects on the free and interactive communication of information.

Our work focuses on four broad areas of activity relating to our goals:

1. Dissemination of information about legislative, jurisprudential, and political developments in Canada.
2. Research and commentary about legislative, jurisprudential, and political developments in Canada.
3. Participation in the shaping of Canadian law and public policy to new developments.
4. Monitoring of, and participation in, criminal and civil cases in the Canadian legal system.

Further information is available in our Mandate.

Eligibility

Please browse LoGIC's web site for samples.

• Language
  Papers must be written in English -- and written well.

• Authorship
  Papers must be original work, but need not be unpublished. Work published elsewhere previously, concurrently, or subsequently is acceptable. Work prepared by multiple authors is acceptable.

• Subject
  We are The Legal Group for the Internet in Canada. Clearly, the work must relate to law, the Internet, and Canada. If it fails to meet any of these criteria, it is unacceptable.

Deadline

• This request for submissions has been extended indefinitely. There is no deadline.

Terms

• Format
  Work must be submitted in electronic form only. We will not consider hard copy work; we will not return hard copy work. Work must be submitted as a wordprocessed file that can be filtered into Windows. This includes MS Word for Windows 1.x/2.0/6.0 and WordPerfect 4.2/5.x/6.0. ASCII files (with footnotes appearing at the end) are optimal and encouraged. The less fancy the formatting, the better. Sorry, but Macintosh files are unacceptable. We will appreciate submissions that are compressed using PKZip or ARJ, but uncompressed work is acceptable.

• Submission
  Work may be submitted as a file attachment to an e-mail, or as a UUencoded e-mail, sent to Dov Wisebrod. Alternatively, work may be submitted on a 3.5" floppy disk to either Dov Wisebrod or Daniel Shap. All authors must submit their name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. An e-mail address for contact purposes is essential, though it need not be the author's own.

• Copyright
  Persons who submit work must warrant their ownership of copyright in the work. LoGIC will not ask authors to assign copyright to us. Authors are free to publish elsewhere. LoGIC asks only that it be provided with the most recent version of the work for presentation on its web site.

• Acceptance
  Not all submissions will be accepted. All work that qualifies according to the terms set out in this notice will be reviewed. The results will be communicated by e-mail to all authors who have submitted work.
