Highly publicized legal cases, such as those involving libel verdicts, obscenity prosecutions, the First Amendment, and other areas of media law have focused attention on only one part of the media's impact on law. This study, the first to explore the broad influence of computers and television on the future of the legal process, explains the critical role of information and argues that the influence of the new modes of communication can be seen in changes occurring in many areas of the law. These areas include the goals and purposes of law, the doctrines and rules of law, the processes law uses to settle disputes and shape behavior, the legal profession, and the values and concepts that underlie our system of law.
Industry Reviews
`Katsh maintains that new forms of electronic communication, in their ability to foster more and faster links among people, will be supportive both of less abstraction in legal relations and of greater group consciousness ... This is an absorbing book, evocative and optimistic.' New York Times Book Review `engaging book ... provocative and entertaining' American Journalism `The book is a broad-based analysis of the literature of both law and media and includes an extensive bibliography.' Legal Studies Forum `This is an interesting, wide-ranging and stimulating essay on the possible effects of changes to law and legal consciousness induced by change in the media of communication ... There is much of value in this book. Every reader can expect to learn something new, and to find something to disagree with.' International and Comparative Law Quarterly
