The Berkeley Technology Law Journal (BTLJ) is a publication of the Boalt Hall School of Law,
The

Founded in 1994, the Michigan Telecommunications and Technology Law Review (MTTLR)
is one of the first online law journals in the world with the use of
interactive media to promote informed discourse about the interrelated
legal, social, business, and public policy issues raised by emerging
technologies. The journal's primary study is on how to deal with the
tensions created by advances in computing, telecommunications,
biotechnology, multimedia, networking, information and other
technologies.
The
journal attracts me in the two ways: [1] Relevance to my research
interest and [2] the approaches I am pursuing for the issues I am
interested in studying. The issues that the MTTLR has been studying
best match with mine. As for the issues, the main theme of the issues
dealt in the journal is the unprecedented tension at personal and
social levels which originate from the advancement of information and
telecommunications technologies. The MTTLR has been also efficiently
cooperating with the
I am also very interested in becoming the member of the 23 year official law journal of the American Bar Association's Section on Dispute Resolution, the Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution (JDR) published by The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. The JDR
is dedicated to the exploration of alternative forums for and methods
of dispute resolution, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration,
summary jury trials, and mini-trials.
The JDR publishes
four issues annually, consisting of three articles issues and an
annotated bibliography issue. In addition to editing and publishing
journals, the JDR sponsors symposia to facilitate discussion on cutting-edge issues within the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Also, the JDR also sponsors the Schwartz Lecture, which annually brings a nationally recognized scholar in the field of alternative dispute resolution to the
I
found the journal doing key-word search for the papers which study
dispute resolution and third-party liability of ISPs in e-commerce. I
have found out that papers in this topic are published in JDR more than
in any other law journals.
Telecommunications Policy Research Conference
Telecommunication
policy is also a field deeply related with my research topic in
perspective of the public policy approach to the responsibility and
capacity of network service providers. TPRC
covers the full range of legal, economic, social, and technical issues
on national/international information and communications policy, which
include: telephony, radio/television broadcasting, cable/satellite
communication, Internet communication, technological convergence and
its regulatory implications, intellectual property, electronic
commerce, communications privacy and security, computer crime, and
economic development. TPRC' two primary goals are: [1] dissemination of
research on current issues around communications policy; and [2]
promotion of new research on emerging issues. Due to its professional
and interdisciplinary nature like other IT fields, researchers from
academia, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations together
with policy makers participate in TPRC.
TPRC
has its root to the first Telecommunications Policy Research Conference
(subsequently renamed TPRC) organized by Bruce Owen in 1972, when he
was with the Office of Telecommunications Policy in the White House.
With growing telecommunications usage and expansion of industry, TPRC
was reorganized and given a more formal institutional structure from
1986 with scholars' efforts such as Roger Noll of
