Indian Journal of Law and Technology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian Journal of Law and Technology (IJLT) is an annually published legal journal brought out by the students of the National Law School of India University, Bangalore. It is managed and published by the Law and Technology Committee of the Student Bar Association at the National Law School, and is edited by an editorial board comprising students and refereed by an independent Article Review Board comprising industry and legal experts.
The IJLT was founded in August 2004, in order to furnish a platform in India for the discussion of domestic and international legal issues on technology, and the first edition was published in January 2006, with a special comment by Prof. Yochai Benkler and notes and comments on issues ranging from the effect of open-content licensing models to the regulation of VoIP telephony.
The Journal publishes articles, notes, and book reviews discussing legal issues on technology law in general, including on e-commerce, cybercrime, biotechnology, bio-ethics, competition law, outsourcing, relevant public policy, intellectual property issues posed by technology, telecommunications, and evidentiary technology.
The editorial board is chosen through a number of criteria, including performance in an editing test, as well as a quality of a written essay on a law and technology topic. The editorial board consists of a chief editor, six editors, and as many line editors as are required. The submissions that are of sufficient quality to be put through the editorial process are chosen through a blind peer-review mechanism by the Article Review Board.
