Contents: The Society for Computers and Law (SCL), a 25-year-old United Kingdom organization, is comprised of a wide, diverse membership of those interested in and involved with information technology and the law. The SCL has many different regional groups covering the UK, and two interest groups, "Internet" and "Word Processing." The web site acts as a meeting ground for members, where the organization's magazine is published, up-to-date meeting information is posted, and resources are gathered. The organization provides links to cases, legislation and secondary sources dealing with computers and the law in the UK, the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, as well as parliamentary material, "useful court information," information on law firms, etc. in the United Kingdom. The site itself makes good use of frames and is very polished-looking. However, some of the information encountered seems out-of-date, and some of the links were broken. Certain areas are restricted to paying members, but the site is worth bookmarking for the subject-specific legal information it gathers in one place.
