The internet and the next legal paradigm: A web-assisted regulatory approach toward e-harassment

Abstract

How the Internet can facilitate a paradigm shift in law is the focus of this article. I first analyze the dilemma plaguing law today. I then discuss the idea of governance that is needed to pull law out of its current hardships. Finally, I propose a Web-assisted e-harassment regulatory approach in order to draw attention to, and invite further comments on, what institutional design can best realize the idea of web-assisted governance. © 2009 IEEE.
