Law.Gov is a national conversation about broader access to primary legal materials in the United States across all three branches of government and across the federal, state, and local governments. It is a series of workshops across the country that started in January at Stanford Law School and has continued on to major law schools, examining the implications of making the law more broadly available. The workshops have examined copyright restrictions, privacy implications, and the technical underpinnings necessary to provide authenticated access to bulk legal materials.

The launch of iPad and its adoption of the open source epub format has generated considerable interest.  What does it mean for eBook creation, eBook standards, ebook publication and digital rights management, eBook readers and its adoption in law school classroom? Panel members will present their views on the various aspects of the eBook based on their experience. 

The Duke University School of Law recently migrated the in-house ePrints based scholarship repository to the SAAS (software-as-a-service) hosted environment called BePress.  We will cover and discuss areas of interest such as:   how to select an SAAS, planning the migration of a live service, customizing the presentation of the service, and the continuing duties to support a successful SAAS implementation.
