There can be little doubt that the computer is rapidly and drastically changing the character of modern society. It is, therefore, important that the lawyer become better equipped to understand and analyze the growing trend towards automation. He must be constantly informed of technological developments and explore them in the context of social consciousness. Computer scientists must also carefully consider the implications of their activities and fulfill their social responsibilities by gearing those activities to peaceful rather than destructive goals. The miracle of the computer has given mankind the power to make better use of his physical and mental resources. It has likewise, however, given man the dangerous capacity to totally destroy himself.
The Rutgers Journal of Computers and the Law is intended to be a scholarly forum for the presentation of outstanding articles treating subjects involving computers, automation, and the electronic data processing industry, in their interaction with the law and other social discipline. Substantial emphasis will be placed on the substantive law implications of computer usage (e.g., torts, legal protection of software, evidence, anti-trust, etc.). Also, such topics as computers in legal research, legal data processing, law office management, computer utilities and time sharing and the social implications of computing, to name a few, will be given extensive exposure.
Professor Vincent E. Fiordalisi was the journal?s first faculty advisor and force behind the journal becoming a reality.
