NOTE: This site contains links to collections of student work exploring the range of alternative funding mechanisms for the practice of law.

If you are not a member of the seminar you are not forbidden to use this site, but you are requested to respect the confidentiality and copyright rights of the participants. Copyright law provides that each paper is copyright when posted. Feel free to read the papers, or to print out a single copy for your research convenience. Any use beyond that, without the permission of the authors, is a violation of the copyright law. (Authors may be reached through me.)

If you are a student at another institution be aware that, in addition to copyright restrictions, there are severe penalties for plagiarism: copying large portions of a paper and passing it off as your own work. This is especially true for law students, as it may affect their qualifications for admission to the bar.

Please feel free to e-mail me, at njohnson@inav.net, with any concerns, suggestions or other responses to this site and seminar that occur to you. Thank you. - Nicholas Johnson, August 21, 2002.
