LLM IN GLOBAL LAW AND TECHNOLOGY : JOURNAL OF HIGH TECH LAW

Suffolk University Law School's newest Honor Board, the Journal of High Technology Law (JHTL), is an ideal venue for students to publish pieces on topics ranging from intellectual property matters to communications and media, computer law, and Internet issues. The journal is published entirely online at www.jhtl.org and includes articles written for the JHTL by students, professors, alumni and other professionals in the high technology area. The website is a legal information resource providing extensive links to information available online in the various high technology fields.

Currently enrolled LL.M. students have the exclusive opportunity to join the JHTL through a cooperative agreement between the LL.M. program and the JHTL. LL.M. students must be nominated by Bridgett Halay, Administrative Director of Graduate and International Programs, and Professor Stephen Hicks, Faculty Director of the LL.M. Program, after which they must submit a previously written essay, article or paper for review and approval by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board of the JHTL. In order to obtain a special LL.M. staff member distinction, the LL.M. student must submit a proposal for a new article, paper or essay to be approved by the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board of the JHTL.

Membership on the JHTL permits an LL.M. student to earn two academic credits for a semester's worth of work (writing a publishable note). LL.M. students may have an article published in the online JHTL, allowing students a chance to publish academic articles before graduation.

A Special LL.M. Member of the JHTL is entitled to all the privileges of membership on a Law School Honor Board. Requirements also include four hours per week of office duties. This time may be used to work on the required article or note if there are no other JHTL duties.

An information session will take place sometime in the early fall for new LL.M. students. To learn more about the cooperation agreement or to find out how to submit an article, please contact the JHTL office at 617-305-1695 or Professor Hicks at 617-573-8381.
