This year’s Legal IT conference, Legal IT 4.0 [1], is scheduled for April 26 and 27th. Each year the conference looks at information technology and its impact on the law. I was fortunate to attend last year’s conference [2], and found the audience and presenters to be a stimulating mix of thought leaders and those new to many of the concepts.
The program has largely been set, and the 50-plus speaker roster [3] is being finalized. The subject areas being covered:
Day 1: [4]
- Cyber crime

Day 2: [5]

- Tips and Tricks at the office and elsewhere

The Plenary on Day 1 will be Countering spam by legislative means in Canada(Bill C-27) by the Honourable Yoine Goldstein Ad. E. Plenary for Day 2 is scheduled as Controversy surrounding Google Books and the Book Rights Registry by Charles S. Morgan.
