Editorial Open legal journals in the space of flows: the future of legal journal publication
Twenty years ago a new law journal appeared, called the Journal of Information, Law Technology. Its acronym was rather unfortunate, but in every other way it was a breath of fresh air in legal journals. The title precisely described its contents. The comma between 'Information' and 'Law' was significant: this wasn't another journal about a niche area of law, but a journal with truly interdisciplinary ambitions, where the information revolution, in the form of Information Science and Legal Informatics, would be given space and attention. The ampersand fused law and technology closer, too, giving notice of the journal's views that the convergence of law and technology was already under way, and that that fusion, both a merging and an emerging, required careful analysis.
