Legal Research

Looking for technology assistance

By Patricia Hughes

The Law Commission of Ontario wants to create forums for various of our groups to have confidential conversations on various issues. For example, the Research Advisory Board has raised having something of the kind for discussion of issues. Our advisory groups could use forums to discuss issues relevant to a project. In fact, we started to set up a forum using Google only to find that government employees couldn’t use it (or any American-based system) because of the ramification of the Patriot Act. We have talked to a consultant about it and will be getting a proposal from them, but it occurred to me that this group would have all kinds of experience with this and might have some good ideas about how to proceed and what problems might arise. Thanks in advance for any input.
