Collectively, you law librarians gathered here must have been affected by the many legal fallouts from September 11: the Office of Homeland Security, the USA Patriot Act, the Use of Military Force Resolution-, the thousands of casualties of all nationalities; the detainees; the military commissions; the prosecutions; the habeas cases. But even as you have studied and researched these individual issues, you have probably wondered whether something bigger is going on. Are these legal fallouts only symptoms of a much larger phenomenon: a post-World War II legal system placed under stress by September 11?

Tort law is often seen as a tool for protecting privacy. But tort law can also diminish privacy, by pressuring defendants to gather sensitive information about people, to install comprehensive surveillance, and to disclose information. And the pressure is growing, as technology makes surveillance and other information gathering more cost effective and thus more likely to be seen as part of defendants' duty to take "reasonable care." Moreover, these tort law rules can increase government surveillance power, and not just surveillance by private entities. Among other things, the NSA PRISM story shows how easily a surveillance database in private hands can become a surveillance database in government hands. This Article aims to provide a legal map of how tort law can diminish privacy, and to discuss which legal institutions-juries, judges, or legislatures-should resolve the privacy-versus-safety questions that routinely arise within tort law.

The Constitution of the United States makes no specific allowance for any one of the co-equal branches to have access to information held by the others and contains no provision expressly establishing a procedure for, or a right of, public access to government information. Nonetheless, Congress has legislated various public access laws. These include two records access statutes — the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act — and two meetings access statutes — the Federal Advisory Committee Act and the Government in the Sunshine Act. This report provides background on the issue of government transparency and examines relevant litigation.

"Stuxnet to Sunburst: 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyberwarfare takes the reader on a journey from the terrorist attacks of 9/11 onwards and the massive insatiable appetite, focus and investment by the Five Eyes agencies, in particular the U.S., to build capability of digital eavesdropping and industrial espionage. With tens of trillions of dollars moving throughout hundreds of thousands of staff,and many contractors draining the country of intelligence and technical capability, the quest was simple and the outcome horrifying. No one in the world has connected the dots, until now. From digital eavesdropping and manipulation of the agencies to Stuxnet, this book covers how the world's first use of digital code and digital certificates for offensive purposes against the Iranians and their nuclear power facilities, caused collateral damage. Proceeding to today's SolarWinds attack, code-named Sunburst, the same methods of exploitation and manipulation originally used by the agencies are now being used against companies and governments with devastating effects. The solarWinds breach has caused knock-on breaches to thousands of client companies including the U.S. government and is estimated to cost more than one trillion dollars. The monster has truly been turned against its creator and due to the lack of security and defence, breaches are occurring daily at an alarming rate. The U.S. and UK governments have little to no answer. Teh book also contains a chapter on breaches within the COVID-19 sector from research to immunisation and the devastating December 2020 breach of SolarWinds. "--

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient resource provides systematic information on how Australia deals with the role religion plays or can play in society, the legal status of religious communities and institutions, and the legal interaction among religion, culture, education, and media. After a general introduction describing the social and historical background, the book goes on to explain the legal framework in which religion is approached. Coverage proceeds from the principle of religious freedom through the rights and contractual obligations of religious communities; international, transnational, and regional law effects; and the legal parameters affecting the influence of religion in politics and public life. Also covered are legal positions on religion in such specific fields as church financing, labour and employment, and matrimonial and family law. A clear and comprehensive overview of relevant legislation and legal doctrine make the book an invaluable reference source and very useful guide. Succinct and practical, this book will prove to be of great value to practitioners in the myriad instances where a law-related religious interest arises in Australia. Academics and researchers will appreciate its value as a thorough but concise treatment of the legal aspects of diversity and multiculturalism in which religion plays such an important part.

Standardization and simplification of trade procedures constitute
an urgent need to line up the document flow with the goods flow in
international trade. Electronic data interchange (EDI) is a co‐operative
inter‐organizational information system providing electronic exchange of
messages agreed between trade partners. Outlines a possible
implementation procedure for EDI. A first part consists of a six‐step
feasibility study. If this study ends with a positive recommendation the
implementation procedure can start. Discussions of this process concern
several requirements: completely understand about EDI; agree on
standards with business partners; modify existing systems; translate
data: prepare communications; and management and audit of the whole
process. Concerning the cost‐benefit analysis for the EDI application
– a step which is mandatory in the feasibility study – gives
further details on different types of cost (recurring and non‐recurring,
direct and indirect) and on both quantifiable and non‐quantifiable
benefits.

. Universitäten werden zunehmend als zentrale Institutionen der Zukunftssicherung dieses Landes wahrgenommen. Das ist Verpflichtung und – angesichts wirtschaftlicher Zwänge – Herausforderung zugleich. Schwerpunkt- und Profilbildung in Forschung und Lehre und enge Vernetzung mit Institutionen und Unternehmen der Region sind dazu unverzichtbar. Wir arbeiten sehr hart daran, die hochqualifizierte Ausbildung junger Menschen, die bei aller theoretischen Fundierung den Praxisbezug nicht außer Acht lässt, zu verbessern und Studienbedingungen zu bieten, die den hohen, internationalen Anforderungen genügen. Die Regierung des Landes Hessen unterstützt diese Universität in bundesweit einzigartiger Weise: Wir bauen die modernste Universität Europas. Sie dokumentiert damit ihr Vertrauen in die größte und schon heute forschungsstärkste hessische Universität und lässt ihr zugleich eine führende Rolle zuwachsen. Wir nehmen diesen Auftrag, uns aktiv in und für die Entwicklung der Metropolenregion RheinMain als eine der weltweit führenden Regionen einzubringen, gerne an. .
