BILETA(The British and Irish Law, Education and Technology Association), held its 15th Annual Conferenceover 13th-14th April 2000 at Scarman House Conference Centre, University of Warwick.

A truly global event that saw speakers from around the world and over 50 papers presented. As the papers were of such high quality, giving such a useful international perspective on many current IT and legal topics, we intend to feature some of these papers over the next few issues of JILT.

The conference papers will be presented in full on the BILETA web site, but we have included here a selection of papers, some of which have been expanded and developed since the conference and include refereed articles, commentaries and a conference report.

Further papers will appear as part of JILT 00-3 issue, which will be fully published at the end of October 2000.
