BOSTON UNIVERSITY

InternetBar started working with the Boston University and its Metropolitan College in May of 2008. BU has made available their technological resources to develop online training programs for the legal profession. They have supported IBO's efforts to create standards for systems of justice online, and out of these discussions has come a proposal to develop a Virtual Law Firm Incubator and Best Practices Initiative.

The Programs

The BU certification program for the Internet Technology and Law Practice will be launched in the fall of 2008. The Virtual Law Firm Incubator and Best Practices Initiative are underway.

An Opportunity

If you want to get involved in any of the BU/IBO initiatives, e-mail jeffaresty@internetbar.org with the subject line "BU - Best Practices" or "BU - Virtual Law Firm" depending on your interest.
