2005 Georgetown University Law Center Advanced Computer and Internet Law Institute

On Friday, March 18, 2005, I presented a speech on the topic of proving electronic transactions. In particular, I argued that lawyers need to involve themselves in the process of designing electronic signature and transaction processes to make it easier to meet the burden of proving the terms and existence of the transaction.

The materials for the CLE are available here formatted as PowerPoint for Web and PDF.
