Course Description

Three-dimensional virtual worlds such as Second Life are already being used for both business and pleasure, and their use in business, communications and e-commerce is projected to grow. Lawyer David Naylor (SL: 'Solomon Cortes') will discuss how existing law applies to virtual worlds and the possible legal developments arising out of their use.

Mr. Naylor is a partner with the European law firm Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP. FFW was the first large firm to open an office in Second Life. Mr. Naylor specializes in working with technology, media, communications and IP-focused businesses and investors. He is also the 2007-08 President of the SL Bar Association.
