Uniform
Domain Name Dispute Resolution Process
The
Uniform Domain-name Dispute Resolution Process (UDRP) was
created in 1999 as a way of quickly and cheaply dispensing
with cybersquatting cases. Although not an official court
proceeding, the UDRP is creating quasi-legal precedent in
domain name battles.
Today,
the UDRP is the trademark holder's first punch -- the prelude
to a court battle. With more than 80% of UDRP cases resulting
in transfer of the disputed domain from the registrant to
the trademark holder, free speech and trademark fair use are
threatened on the Net.
Boalt
students can learn about the UDRP and get credit toward the
Center for Law and Technology's Law-Tech Certification program
by following the steps below.

Law and Technology Certification Program
Through Boalt.org,
Boalt students of all levels can get credit toward their
Law and Technology certificate by helping Domain
Name Law Reports summarize UDRP cases.
With few
legal research tools available for the UDRP, DNLR's volunteer
editorial staff is fulfilling a much needed service by providing
free access to UDRP case summaries.
By completing
10 case summaries for DNLR, Boalt students can get credit
on the group's masthead and a referral letter from the publisher.
Doing so through Boalt.org also fulfills one semester of
work for a Boalt technology organization as required by
the Law-Tech Certificate Program. You
can learn about the UDRP by summarizing cutting-edge cases
and also further the public interest in intellectual property
by putting free legal information on the Net.
Sign up to Boalt.org's mailing
list to find out the details of our UDRP training session.

DNLR Requirements
Required:
Students interested in Internet law and Intellectual Property.
No background is necessary, except for an appreciation and
basic understanding of Internet law and web sites. The number
of students who are able to participate is unlimited. Over
100 law students and lawyers from across Canada are already
participating.
The
Project:
The project involves editing case law for publication in the
Domain Name Law Reports.
DNLR.com is a free Internet service that provides a searchable
index of domain name arbitration decisions, plus related legal
resources. You will be provided with any training and assistance
that you may require.
The Credit:
All students who complete at least ten case edits will receive
an acknowledgment as an Associate Editor and a letter of reference.
This is a volunteer position, but you will get some great
experience and exposure to Internet law issues.
Where:
All work is done entirely on-line through email correspondence
and an Intranet. Assignment of cases to edit is done on line
and the finished product is sent to a Senior Editor for review
and inclusion on the web site.
How Much Work:
As much or as little time as you want for as long as you wish
to participate in the project, however a commitment to completing
at least 10 case edits is required. Each case takes about
1-2 hours to edit. More responsibility in the project is available
for those who request it.

If interested, send an email to webmaster@boalt.org.
