You might be tempted to ask “where do you go to find updates about technology and the law?” Well, from the tech side of things, here’s where I go:
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/
It’s available as an RSS feed, which is available here:
http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/tech-policy/
Ars Technica’s “Law and Disorder” section is dedicated the the legal aspect of all things technological. So of the two (law and technology), it probably has more to do with technology than strictly the law. After all, the main website “Ars Technica” translates roughly from Latin as “The Art of Technology.” Not everything on their site is really worthy of further discussion, but there are some very important and timely articles that could provide a steady diet of technology and law for the discourse on this blog.
Anyone know of additional technology and law resources? I’d especially be interested in the flip side – the technological aspects of all things legal. Perhaps any law students out there could lend a hand?
Perhaps the most obvious place to look for law and technology information is the American Bar Association’s website. The relevant websites are available at:

http://www.abajournal.com/topics/tech+monthly
http://www.abajournal.com/topics/tech+question
If you have an iPhone or an iPod touch, there is a legal news application from JD Supra called Legal Edge that provides access to law and technology updates.
If you are more interested in academic journal articles about law and technology, I would recommend the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology. The most recent volume is available in PDF at:
http://jolt.law.harvard.edu/
Also, from Ohio State IS:A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society. I happen to be a staff editor for this journal, so forgive the shameless plug.
Thanks for the shameless plug, Phil.
Actually, having someone as an editor for a resource like that is probably more valuable than a lay person’s awareness of relevant sources (such as myself).
