Cyberbanking
& Law Journal
Background
CBL-Journal
is a new and innovative electronic journal covering a range of topics
relating to legal and technological aspects of cyberbanking. It
contains a diversity of materials including peer reviewed and non-refereed
articles, work in progress, interviews, and conference reviews,
providing a forum for continuing dialogue for law and technologies
in four languages (english, german, french, spanish). The
Journal can rely on the experience of the famous German law review
JurPC, edited
by Prof. Dr. Maximilian Herberger and published by the Richard Boorberg
Verlag, which was one of the first law journals to be published
electronically. The
first version was published on 1st of October 1999 under
the name “Comments”, which was in fact a section
of our site Cyberbanking
& Law (the CBL project has been published in german in the
JurPC (Stefan,
Cyberbanking & Law), in french on the site of the
LDE (Graham,
Une nouvelle coopération Saar-Lux, Chroniques d'Internet,
1999) and in spanish in the REDI
(Graham, Stefan, Un derecho libre para ciudadanos libres ?, nov.
99, p. 2). The first issue of the Comments received acclaim
from its users and the following issues have generated equal enthusiasm.
In order to respond to the demand, the editors of Cyberbanking
& Law decided in February 2000 to transform the Comments
into a Journal in order to improve its presentation.
The publication
is available free of charge.

assign a limited license to CBL-Journal if and when the manuscript
is accepted for publication. This license allows CBL-Journal to
publish a manuscript in a given issue of the journal, and to possibly
re-issue the paper or on a CD-ROM collecting the journal's entire
archives or a annually printed version. Authors retain the copyright
to their individual articles, but any reprinting or translation
should contain a reference or pointer to the original paper published
in CBL-Journal cited as following : Author, Title, Web-Doc.

article, all authors and the journal's editor agree to the following:
Classroom

individual articles may be made for classroom use, provided that
the copies are distributed at or below the cost of reproduction
and the author(s) and the CBL-Journal are credited and
