Building on this work, CSTB proposes to conduct a set of studies (or perhaps a series of workshops) that seek to develop a sound intellectual principles-based underpinning for extending existing law into cyberspace more generally. The following broad categories of law seem appropriate for further development.

Hibbitts , University of Pittsburgh School of Law oday's on-line legal databases originated as a technological response to mid-twentieth century complaints about the unregulated proliferation of legal literature. Such complaints already had a long history in the American legal community, but from the 1940s through the early 1960s their intensity increased dramatically as American lawyers found themselves confronting a collection of postwar statutes, precedents and professional periodicals (including, of course, law reviews) that was growing at an unprecedentedly-rapid pace. The legal literature was multiplying so fast that it threatened not only to bankrupt many attorneys but to overwhelm the indexing systems that had traditionally corralled and contained it - even presuming that the standard legal indexes could conceptually and physically keep up with the rush of new materials (a problematic presumption at best ), they were themselves becoming so large and awkward that they almost defeated their own purposes.

Courts around the globe are being asked to apply traditional defamation laws to the novel legal issues presented by the new media and technology of the information age. Cyberspace is widely regarded as potentially fertile ground for defamation suits. Electronic bulletin boards, for example, now enable individuals to publish worldwide, without the benefit of any editorial checks, to potential audiences of thousands. Such messages can remain on the computers of subscribers for weeks, be printed, downloaded, and republished in e-mail. Electronic messages tend to be written in a less formal style than other communications and frequently address controversial issues. Indeed, some newsgroups are dedicated to gflamingh, the practice of posting messages which are particularly insulting or provocative and often blatantly defamatory.

Extractions: How Valid Is the Often-repeated Accusation That There Are Too Many Legal Articles and Too Many Law Reviews? by Howard Denemark Introduction Professor Bernard J. Hibbitts's article, Last Writes? Re-assessing the Law Review in the Age of Cyberspace, documents numerous complaints of the lack of need for much of legal scholarship and the flaws inherent in student editingeven to the point of suggesting that any law reviews at all, as they exist currently, are too many. The core of Professor Hibbitts's plan is that legal scholars will no longer submit manuscripts to student editors, but will self-publish them on a home page on the Internet without pre-publication editorial controls. Electronic dissemination of legal scholarship the availability of law review articles to anyone with a computer and modem is a reality today. In law and a few other disciplines, some traditional journals are already available on-line. Indeed, some journals now exist solely in electronic versions. It may give pause to readers who are seeing these words on paper that they are available on-line for free, together with the rest of the Akron Law Review issues beginning in the Fall of 1995. As radical as these changes are, they do not include self-publication, but rather follow the traditional pattern of submitting manuscripts to an editorial board that decides whether or not to disseminate the submitted article under its imprimatur. Professor Hibbitts summarized his motivations for proposing this radical change by pointing out:
