Internet and Technology Law Desk Reference, Seventh Edition

Scott (computer, e-commerce and information law, Southwestern U. School of Law) compiled this dictionary to answer the need for precision in the emerging vocabulary employed in legal matters concerning the computer industry. The entries are arranged alphabetically and contain, in addition to definitions, the field of use, annotations expanding the definition, related issues and cross-references. Entries for case decisions include the subjects addressed by the decision, the case name abbreviation, and a discussion of the case. In addition to words, phrases and case decisions, Scott includes entries for statutes, government reports, and organizations. The softbound format makes the volume easy to carry in a briefcase.
