Year: 1997
Web Watch October/November 1997
The Shetland Islands revisited The parties to the Shetland News hyperlinking case (see January’s Page) have agreed that the News can hyperlink to the Shetland Times on condition that each link includes a logo and an attribution. Thus as yet no stunning precedent on whether or not hyperlinks may require the linked site’s permission. Social […]
Periodically yours – the online law journals
A Page on the Web, published in the Solicitors Journal, October 1997. There are not many UK legal journals yet online, and those that are published on the web are mainly academic journals. One may question whether, in fact, a ‘web journal’ is an appropriate concept. The web is a new medium, demanding a new […]
Passing Judgment on the Web
A Page on the Web, published in the Solicitors Journal, September 1997. House of Lords judgments One of the principal links from the House of Lords home page on the Parliament site is Judicial Business. From this page you can find information on the judicial work of the House of Lords describing the jurisdiction of […]
Midsummer Miscellany
A Page on the Web, published in the Solicitors Journal, June 1997. The Lawyer The Lawyer has launched a site at www.the-lawyer.co.uk. This site complements the weekly issues of The Lawyer newspaper and contains all the week’s news and features, updated every Tuesday morning, as well as all the announcements and recruitment advertisements that regularly […]

There is a sufficient quantity of published materials and sufficient numbers of users now for it to be considered a mainstream law publishing medium, not some fad or […]
Nick visits two important new sites
A Page on the Web, published in the Solicitors Journal, March 1997. March has seen the launch of two significant new content-rich UK legal websites: significant because they have been put together with a lot of planning, effort and investment by lawyers and for lawyers and not simply by opportunistic Web entrepreneurs with an optimistic […]
A virtual conference companion
A Page on the Web, published in the Solicitors Journal, February 1997. As I am not a professional journo, the monthly muse sometimes takes a while to reach me. This has been one of those months, and I was in danger of irretrievably missing my deadline before the following wheeze struck me. The Society for […]
The Web is illegal – provisional
A Page on the Web, published in the Solicitors Journal, January 1997. The intervention of Christmas in the Solicitors’ Journal schedules denied a more timely comment on one of the most interesting Web law cases yet: The Shetland Times v Wills and Zetnews Ltd. The Shetland Times was successful in obtaining an interim interdict (injunction) […]
