Contents: Gigalaw, produced by lawyers and law professors, contains a very useful collection of articles on technology and the law, with an emphasis on “high technology” news of the day. These news articles and essays are cataloged under familiar subject headings, such as “crime,” “copyright,” and “privacy.” The site contains the full text of a select number of intellectual property cases and statutes, as well as model legal forms. Gigalaw offers a daily e-mail news service and an e-mail-based forum for discussing topics related to the Internet and the law. The forum is archived on the website back to its inception in August 2000. While the site itself is searchable, the forum does not seem to be indexed at this time, which means that worthy discussion about the site’s articles or news items cannot be retrieved. Unlike many legal websites, which seek to be portals for everyone to everywhere, Gigalaw is nicely tailored to its intended audience of Internet and technology professionals.
