About The Journal
The Richmond Journal of Law and Technology is the first law review
in the world to be published exclusively online. First published
on April 10, 1995, the Journal focuses on the impact that computer-related
and other emerging technologies have on the law. The Journal is
published entirely by students of the University of Richmond School
of Law. Publishing online has proved to be tremendously beneficial
in allowing The Journal to reach a much wider audience than would
have been possible using the traditional print medium.
Our articles now reach thousands of readers per month in more
than 70 countries around the world. We currently publish 4-5
issues per academic year. Each issue covers a broad range of
topics ranging from developing legal issues on the Internet
to issues in bio-technology and emerging areas of constitutional
law.
Since its founding in 1995, The Journal has expanded its scope
to encompass the full range of topics under the general heading
of Technology Law. We invite you to visit our Past
Issue Archives to explore the topics that have been covered
in our pages.
AVAILABILITY OF THE JOURNAL
Full text articles published by The Journal are available on
the World Wide Web, through LEXIS, Westlaw, The Index to Legal
Periodicals, William S. Hein & Co., and a number of other
legal indices. The purpose of making The Journal available exclusively
online relates to the unique characteristics of the Internet:
the hypertext capabilities of the World Wide Web, combined with
the low cost of access make this an ideal medium for transmitting
legal information to a mass audience.
