With the ever expanding Internet and the World Wide Web being a favourite playground of many interested individuals and businesses alike, the changing landscape and the sheer endless possibilities and capabilities needed serious regulations by the legislative body. Existing laws were extended to cover the new medium, furthermore new laws had to be derived and invented in order to cover new ground. Since that the Internet law is not defined as a separate law, but rather extends existing laws, very broad knowledge of the law in general as well as the issues specific to the Internet are required, when a case is related to the Net or the Web.
This spawned a whole new generation of attorneys, who dedicated themselves to practicing and litigating mostly Internet related cases. Unfortunately, not all the lawyers advertising to be Internet savvy really know the difference between a FTP and an SMTP protocol. But since that the Internet law is actually derived from the existing laws, is any such technical or rather IT knowledge necessary, to successfully practice Internet law?
Any lawyer can handle a case of Internet Fraud, as long as it stays on common grounds. But when a culprit uses a vulnerability of a browser or portal to defraud users, then knowledge and understanding of what has actually taken place is vital to the defence or to properly accuse the perpetrator.
United States of America, with 50% of all world lawyers accumulated on a relatively tiny part of the world; need this new playground, because the old one was crowded as is. Mostly young lawyers, who grew up with the Internet and the Web present, decide to venture in the new law department. Big law firms, recognizing the need for quality lawyers with IT knowledge, are scouting the law schools for young talented individuals to offer them employment as soon as they graduate.
In recent years a true boom of internet lawyers invaded the cyberspace offering all kind of advice, help, protection, assistance, whatever they came up with, just to stand out in the crowd. For instance, full internet protection kits are being sold, the web site packages having custom made terms of service, disclaimers, contracts and other legal mumbo jumbo necessary to have a fully legally protected web site. As usual, most of the legalese made the whole business just more complicated, not easier. Introduction of the Internet small print in the contracts and disclaimers opens whole new doors for litigation, making sure that all the thousands of lawyers being spewed out by law schools every year have something to do for years to come.
