Special Issue on Science and the Courts: The University of Ottawa Law &
Technology Journal invites original scholarly articles for a special issue
on Science and the Courts to be published in 2008. The University of Ottawa
Law & Technology Journal (UOLTJ) is an open access, bilingual (English and
French), faculty-run, peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to scholarly
articles on law and technology. The special issue on Science and the Courts
seeks to include a broad range of subject areas and perspectives and seeks
representation from authors drawn from science, law (including judges,
lawyers, and academics), and related disciplines.  Suggested topics include
electronic evidence, the role of the expert witness, novel science and the
courts, the specialized court, patent litigation, nanotechnology, legal
history of science and the courts, product liability, juries and science,
DNA, science and mass torts, neutral science advisors to a court, and the
interaction between emerging scientific research and legal precedent on
cases involving science. The Journal is also open to considering submissions
on any other aspect of the intersection between science and the courts. The
deadline for submissions is March 1, 2008.

 

General Issues: The Journal also continues to invite submissions of original
scholarly articles in English or in French for publication in its
peer-reviewed general issues, which will be considered on a rolling basis.
For its general issues, the Journal is interested in work on all aspects of
the field of law and technology, regardless of the type of technology,
substantive area of law at issue, or theoretical or philosophical focus. The
Journal considers scholarship on the intersection of law with established or
emerging technologies in any field, such as computer, internet and
e-commerce law; privacy; intellectual property; technology and ethics;
communications, entertainment, and social media; natural sciences;
traditional knowledge; evidence; cybercrime; security; internet governance;
and e-government. The Journal publishes articles on law and technology
written by scholars from a range of disciplines and encourages submissions
of interdisciplinary work. All articles submitted to the Journal are
evaluated through a peer review process before being accepted for
publication.

 

The Journal publishes two peer-reviewed issues annually and is available
both in print and electronic formats. The current and past contents of the
UOLTJ are freely available online on the Journal's websites, www.uoltj.ca
<https://mail.uottawa.ca/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://mail.uottawa.ca/e

<https://mail.uottawa.ca/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://mail.uottawa.ca/e

also carried in HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, and LexisNexis Quicklaw,

Intellectual Property Literature, and OpenJ-Gate. In addition, the full-text
