Title: The Quest for Enabling Metaphors for Law and Lawyering in the Information Age
Abstract: It has become a truism, if not a cliche, that developments in information technologies are causing a fundamental transformation in society, taking us out of the industrial era and into an information age.1 The last few years have witnessed the appearance of an ample literature exploring this theme.2 Some may think that too much has already been written on this subject. Yet more books on this theme keeps rolling off the printing presses, including those by James Boyle3 and M. Ethan Katsh4 that are the subject of this review. The continuing popularity of printed books on this subject seems rather ironic, for books are artifacts of a supposedly declining era.
