WELCOME

The 8th International Conference Law Via The Internet took place at the Marriott Chateau Champlain (Montreal) on October 25 and 26, 2007.

Speakers' papers and presentations will be published gradually on this website, so make a habit of visiting us often.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Since the first Law via the Internet conference held in Sydney Australia, tremendous progress has been made with respect to access to legislation and caselaw. In Canada, Australia, France, Britain and Ireland, and more recently in various developing countries such as the Pacific Islands, Burkina Faso and Senegal, a few million documents have been published and are now widely used.
