Society for Computers and Law,
then addressed the seminar on the
general area of communications
and explained that largely because
of the difficulties in sending long
documents, the British Electronic
Mail service (Telecom Gold) had
deteriorated into a message sen-
ding service. In his experience,
most of the messages tended to be
rather light hearted if not simply
defamatory.
Following a summing up by
Frank Lanigan, the participants
repaired to lunch and the seminar
then concluded.
The Technology Commi t t ee
would like to thank all who con-
tributed to the success of the
seminar on expert systems and
communications in particular the
delegates who came not quite
knowing what to expect. The Com-
mittee realised beforehand that this
seminar was unusual insofar as it
was attempting to address issues
which, for many at least, appeared
to deal with problems and solutions
which lie well in the future. The
Committee would like to believe
that every participant gained both
from the formal sessions and from
the opportunities to discover the
types of research and development
being carried on independently in
many practices around the coun-
try. The Committee feels that there
is a real need for members of the
profession to keep ahead and to be
forearmed in their dealings with the
suppliers of technology to the pro-
fession. This should enable them to
deal on equal terms both financial-
ly and from the point of view of in-
formation on new products and
concepts. The Committee believes
we are the first group in this coun-
try to formally address this par-
ticular area of expertise. It is
beneficial to us as a profession to
be clearly concerned wi th new ad-
vances and this has positive
benefits insofar as our clients can
see that we are not rooted in the
Past
and also that we will be bet-
ter able to influence and guide the
development of systems which will
i n
the future be marketed to us.
Finally, we would like to thank
those delegates from outside the
profession who attended and the
exhibiting suppliers who kindly
sponsored the programme for
spouses and partners attending the
seminar.
