Editor's Note

By ALM Staff | Law Journal Newsletters |

Last Spring, Ben Fink and Steven Wagner wrote an article questioning whether there was 'Life After Zippo,' referring to the seminal Internet jurisdiction case from 1997, Zippo Manufacturing, Co. v. Zippo Dot Com, Inc. Recently, the ABA released its latest report on the subject from the (take a deep breath) Internet Jurisdiction Sub-Committee of the Cyberspace Law Sub-Section of the Business Law Section. Having attended the press conference announcing the first major global study in 2000 ' 'Achieving Legal and Business Order in Cyberspace: Jurisdictional Issues Created by the Internet,' this has become a topic of particular interest to me. So I didn't take much convincing to decide it was time to reexamine the issue and see where we stand. I asked Ben Fink and Steven Wagner to update their article from last spring on the latest cases and give us a picture of where the case law brings us. I think you'll be surprised at the results. And I report on the recent English Court of Appeals decision on the topic and offer some (of course) insightful commentary on its impact. I hope you find this special issue interesting and as always, feel free to share any comments with me at [email protected].
