Wednesdays Mr. Froomkin Room 200, 4:30 p.m. Rm. 382, Tel. 284-4285
The book store promises it will have the optional book for the course very soon: Laura Lemay, Teach Yourself WEB Publishing with HTML in a Week (1995). You should feel free to substitute any comparable introductory guide to writing an HTML document (also known as a World Wide Web page), including those found on the Internet.
All other course materials will either be in the Distribution Center, directly from the World Wide Web, or the result of your own researches.
Please do three things before the first class

How to contact me.
I urge you to contact me if you have questions, comments, or suggestions about the seminar.
You can call me at 284-4285. Most days, I am in and out of the office. If you get my voice mail, leave a number and state when is the best time to call back.
You can come by my office, Rm. 382, any time, but since I'm in and out erratically, I advise you to call ahead and make an appointment. I'll have office hours from on Thursday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. and on Tuesday & Thursday 7:30-8:00 p.m.
Probably the easiest way to contact me is to send me e-mail at froomkin@law.miami.edu. Include a telephone number if you prefer a more human response.
Classes will be anarchic, in the Internet sense of the term.
Attendance. I will take not take formal attendance in this class, but I can't help but notice who is missing sometimes. Since we only meet once a week, you ought to be able to make it. Any student who skips often enough for it to become noticeable will suffer some deduction from class participation credit.
Taping. No classes may be taped without my specific permission, which will not be given for reasons other than verified medical emergencies, or to students with particular disabilities.
No Exam. Grades will be based predominantly on your production of a World Wide Web (WWW) page or pages that discuss an internet-related legal subject. I am more interested in the content of your legal analysis and the depth of your research than I am in your snazzy graphics or cute Netscape tricks...although those are nice too. Your grade will also include a substantail class participation component. I expect everyone to do the reading and to be prepared for class. Class participation includes taking part in assignments to do something and report to the class mailing list in a timely way.
The first three seminars will be designed to orient you to the Internet generally, and to how to create a WWW document. Then we will get legal.
As noted above, please do three things before the first class
