Journal from International Association of IT Lawyers.

The International Association of IT Lawyers (IAITL; Hellemup, Denmark) is now publishing the "Journal of International Commercial Law and Technology," a quarterly, open-access online journal that is designed to further the understanding of international commercial law and technology.

IAITL said the journal is written to stimulate research and become a major voice for academics, practitioners and consultants in discussing the significant legal developments in commercial law and diverse aspects of information technology. Content will also encourage professionals involved in commercial and IT law to engage more fully with the IT industry, policymakers and members of the general public.

Content in initial issues includes coverage of topics such as: cross-border business in the EU and statutory disclosure requirements; tapping and data retention in communications networks; recent developments in corporate governance; new Turkish commercial draft law reforms; the impact of legal challenges on the evolution of web-based intelligent agents; identity theft; preserving data mining in law enforcement; waiver of a right to arbitrate by resort to litigation; financial collateral agreements; concept of privacy in space; and, international commercial arbitration.

The IAITL also sponsors and organizes conferences, including the Conference on Legal, Security and Privacy Issues and the International Conference on Business, Law and Technology.
