BUILDING COMMENTARY COLLECTIONS IN THE FREE LAW CONTEXT PRESENTED BY SARAH SUTHERLAND OCTOBER 12 , 2018 LAW VIA THE INTERNET , FLORENCE , ITALY
When free access to primary law moves beyond aspiration, what's the next step in accessing justice?
ACCESS TO PRIMARY LAW IS A REQUIRED ELEMENT OF ACCESS , BUT IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT
Requirements to move forward Ability to publish content more cheaply Ability to integrate formats beyond HTML Contributions from the community Developing the team
WE NEEDED HELP TO MAKE THE LEAP
SOCIAL ASPECTS Open access publishing Cognitive surplus among lawyers Desire to develop reputation Poor discoverability for free commentary
BRINGING IT TOGETHER
Where we are now More than 60 books and articles More than 130 research and law reform reports 18 law reviews 3 newsletters with more in development More than 1000 pieces of commentary still to be published with more coming regularly
THE FUTURE ?
