Law (Second Life, etc.)

Hi all - one of the questions I get asked from time to time
is if Second Life is worthwhile for law librarians to
explore and know about. From the two courses I took re, I
with technology and its potential and actual uses. If you
don't know about Second Life, you may not know how to apply
it in a law library setting. Or at least those were my
reasons for trying to navigate Second Life...:-)
We also have a sub-group of the Law Libraries and Librarians
Ning network called Second Life Law Librarians. Please join
us to continue the discussion and share information:

"A Little Grafting of Second Life into a Legal Research Class"
by Rob Hudson, May 9, 2008
Testing the educational potential of Second Life as a supplement to
classroom instruction occurred over the duration of a seven week
As the class evolved, Second Life was used in the following three ways:
First, it was used as an immersive, interactive exhibition for students on
issues and agencies involved in international law. A tour was provided
within Second Life for law students to virtual offices of international
law firms, courts, libraries, and government agencies with Second Life
presences....
The second method of incorporation involved a special event hosted by Mr.
Paulo Casaca, a member of the European Parliament, European Union. His
Second Life talk was on the international legal implications of using EU
airports to refuel airplanes transporting prisoners to Guantanamo Bay....
The third way Second Life was incorporated...was student initiated. One of the students could not attend the
last meeting of the International Legal Research Skills class, but was
scheduled to give a short presentation of his research pathfinder that
day. He proposed to give it in avatar form to the class from within Second
Life...

Item #2183 (19 Apr 2008 15:07) - Virtual Law Worlds (Second Life)
From: Lyonette Louis-Jacques <llou@MIDWAY.UCHICAGO.EDU>
Subject: Virtual Law Worlds (Second Life)
Comments: To: Foreign & International Legal Research
Bonjour, everyone! I'm participating in this course called "Law
Librarians in Virtual Worlds" which is all about how Second Life
can be used in law libraries. It also covers how Second Life is also
being used by lawyers, law professors, government agencies, and
From the introductory webinar on April 16th, I found out that the
Portuguese Ministry of Justice has a spot on Second Life and arbitration
have or will take place there? Also, an international legal research
class attended a UN session on Second Life. I'll try to find out
more about foreign, comparative, and international law-related activities
and presenses on Second Life as the course continues (it's through
August 2008).
Part of adjusting to Second Life is getting your avatar to move around
comfortably. So far, I've drowned my avatar in the ocean, stranded it in
unchartered territory in Second Life (or it seemed that way), and gotten
it lost all sorts of places. But once you learn how to walk, teleport,
adn fly, you can tour law spots on Second Life and attend classes.
One of the coolest feelings in Second Life is flying:

Note that you may need like a T1 line and 32-bit graphics, etc.;
sometimes it seems as if when you're logged onto Second Life, you
can't do anything else on your machine)
