• W230071902 abstract "When I conceived the idea to start a school-based academic journal focusing on the legal implications of use in the legal profession and the courts it was clear to me that it would be a challenge. I first had to get my arms around whether computer law was a genuine legal subject. Was the subject valid to teach as a course in school? ancillary question was, could an academic journal based on computer law have legitimacy and succeed? I was eventually persuaded that a stand-alone course or seminar on computer law (1) could be justified--and, by extension, that a quality academic journal committed to the subject (2) could prove a worthy addition to the body of legal literature. On the best days I was convinced that the venture would ultimately be validated in the marketplace and that eventually the Journal would be acknowledged in the way all good legal publications are--by citation as persuasive argument or authority in other scholarly journals and in judicial opinions. All this would prove to be the case; but in 1968 and 1969, there were days when this happy result was far from certain. There were fellow student-critics (though never members of the faculty) who questioned the venture. They argued, in fine student fashion, that what was proposed had the legitimacy of a school course in law; in short, limited value at best. argument was that one cannot learn general legal principles from a study of narrow fact-dependent cases, i.e., those involving computers, computing or software, to the exclusion of the remaining universe of factual contexts. For critics, a journal focusing on such a limited and proscribed subject would not be destined for success. But, because I strongly believed that the development of the over succeeding generations would prove to be at least as significant to society as the automobile, the skepticism did not deter our efforts. My thought at the time was that the computer's ubiquitous penetration of society posed real potential for unanticipated catastrophe as we rushed to rely increasingly on the technology. THE LAW OF THE HORSE More than twenty-five years after the automobile law criticism, the argument would be invoked again in a more assertive fashion--though I believe ultimately erroneously--at least as it applies to the development of the computer. In 1996, Judge Frank Easterbrook of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit cited the famous refrain of Gerhard Casper, the former dean of the University of Chicago School, (3) to argue in effect, that computer law as a stand-alone subject should not be credited. argument was published in an article entitled Cyberspace and the of the Horse. (4) As Judge Easterbrook noted, Dean Casper did not see the benefit in Law of the Horse courses (that is, courses then referred to somewhat pejoratively as Law and ... courses) unless they were subjects that could illuminate the entire law. (5) Such specialized courses, especially those that would use a subset of cases based on limited case facts, would not warrant real legitimacy and were suited to dilettantes. (6) Judge Easterbrook, himself a member of the faculty at the University of Chicago, summarized Dean Casper's philosophy: [T]he best way to learn the applicable to specialized endeavors is to study general rules. Lots of cases deal with sales of horses; others deal with people kicked by horses; still more deal with the licensing and racing of horses, or with the care veterinarians give to horses, or with prizes at horse shows. Any effort to collect these strands into a course on The of the Horse is doomed to be shallow and to miss unifying principles.... Only by putting the of the horse in the context of broader rules about commercial endeavors could one really understand the about horses. …" @default.
