This book is aimed at lawyers and business professional looking to protect and expand their Internet presence and avoid liability when conducting business online.The book takes a different approach to being a practice handbook - in that it has alot business information, change management tips, technology tips, practice pointers, and an entire chapter which is the equivalent of an audit checklist that the business professionals and lawyers can use as a cruch to ensure that they are counseling their clients or management on the mirad of issues that exist. The following is a list of each chapter: Chapter 1 Overview on the development of Internet Law Chapter 2 Establishing & Maintaining an Identity on the Internet Chapter 3 Internet Security Chapter 4 Protecting Intellectual Property in Cyberspace Chapter 5 Civil Liability in Cyberspace Chapter 6 The Law of Electronic Contracts Chapter 7 Exposure to Lawsuits in Distant Forums: Jurisdiction Chapter 8 Conducting a Legal Audit and Managing Risk Chapter 9 E-mail and Internet Usage Policies Appendix Sample Business Plans and Internet Resources for LawyersThank you in advance for your consideration and we hope you enjoy the book.
