UCITA training available at Practicing Law Institute

The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will be the 
focus of a day-long seminar being offered by the Practicing Law 
Institute on October 17, 2001 in New York City. "This in-depth 
program will cover the impact of UCITA on traditional contract 
concepts such as assent, battle of the forms, perfect tender and 
warranties. The interplay between UCITA and intellectual property 
law, licensing and software development will be discussed. Further 
drafting and operational suggestions will be presented."  The 
keynote speaker will be New York State Attorney General Eliot 
Spitzer who introduced  bomb-shelter legislation in the New York 
legislature and vigorously opposed consumer amendments supported 
by other attorneys general.

This workshop is appropriate for  librarians involved in licensing 
and attorneys working with libraries.  Partial and full 
scholarships are available for librarians and those in nonprofit 
organizations. Requests for funding assistance are due 4 weeks 
prior to the seminar.

For further details see www.pli.edu or call 1-800-260-4PLI. The 
Practicing Law Institute is located at 810 Seventh Avenue at 53rd 
Street in New York.
