Lines: 29 Approved: info-law@sri-csl.arpa I've thought all along it was real good idea to do these introductions, but then I took forever to do my own. Enclosed herewith please find ... My name is Burgess Allison. I'm an attorney; I practiced for a couple of years in Delaware, but after about 10 years of decidedly non-standard job offers sending me through a strange and bizarre career path (not unlike Adventure's maze of twisty passages all different), I am now a member of the technical staff at MITRE (Washington, D.C.). I'm the author of a column called "Technology Update," which is published eight times a year by the American Bar Association's Section on Law Practice. The column is mostly news and events on the technologies that are used in the legal community, but I also get to do some rather heavy- footed stomping around with rumors, idle speculation, and reflections on the internacine strife that is found in such rampant abundance these days in the DP marketplace. It's a lot of fun. Most of the work I'm doing these days is in OA, PCs, LANs, laser printers and interconnectivity; but occasionally they call me in when they've got a question on the legal implications of using a specific technology in a specific setting. My interests cover all aspects of technologies' application in legal issues, and of the law's application in technology issues. Please keep up the interaction on INFO-LAW. I think that the questions and answers, both from experts and neophytes, are useful for all of us to hear. Burgess
