Law school Q&A
Sunday, December 27th, 2009Costa Rica Enacts New Electronic Signature Law
Friday, December 18th, 2009Law Of Certificates, Digital Signatures And Electronic Documents 8454, was passed by the Legislative assembly of the Republic of Costa Rica in San José, August 23rd 2005. This law applies to all types of transactions, both public and private. The State and all of its companies are explicitly authorized to utilize the digital certificates, electronic documents and digital signatures (Article 1).
Electronic signatures and documents have legal recognition and functional equivalence to physical media. (Article 3, 4 and 18). Electronic documents and communications will have the same value and the probative efficacy as the equivalent signed manuscript and is considered registered when the digital certificate has been sent by the registered certifier (Article 8 and 9). Until proved otherwise by an opponent, an electronic signature is presumed to be in force at the moment of issuance. This presumption does not dispense of legal requirements of authentication, certification or registration (Article 10).
Businesses are able to legally store their files and documents in electronic form provided that the necessary security measures are taken to guarantee the accuracy of the file, accessibility and information regarding its origin. When transitioning matters of registration, files or endorsements that are required by law to be stored, the business should first get authorization from the appropriate authority (Article 6).
Articles 11 and 12 outline the requirements and mechanisms of validating electronic document systems. There should be a linking or means of associating the document, the digital signature and the individual signing the document. The file should have a means of authentication and integrity verification. The system should utilize a mechanism of certification or validation that would operate from machine to machine, program to program and even systems of public and private keys or other systems that offer optimum security.

A Guide to Find Credible Online Law Degree Program
Friday, December 11th, 2009People, who do not have time to attend college classes in between work and family life but still have an inclination towards getting a law degree, can possibly achieve through online degree programs. The main advantage is that online programs save driving back and forth between classes and it is possible to attend classes at a convenient time.
There are two types of degrees of law, viz. Juris Doctor (JD) degree that allows practicing law and an Executive JD (EJD), which is an educational degree in law.
Graduates of JD degree program which is a four year, part time program would meet the legal education requirements of the Committee of Bar Examiners and Graduates of EJD which is a three-year part- time program can utilize online degree course to advance their career, expand their employment opportunities as also increase their personal knowledge without becoming a member of the Bar.
Several law schools offer degrees online but it is better to check their credibility. The type of accreditation the school has should be checked and also it should be ascertained how much access can be got with the professors and if the professors have office hours during which they can be contacted. It should be made sure that the curriculum is not only theoretical but also practical and well suited to the specific needs. It should be verified whether the law school makes use of the same books as that of offline students attending classes. The most important thing to be taken care of is the duration to complete the degree course online which would normally take between three and six years to complete.
Highly regarded universities and colleges now offer law degrees which are accessible online for those who want to pursue a career in social law applications. Online degree programs offer opportunities for practicing lawyers to find a job as a law guide or investigator or as a law educator. Online law degrees cover almost everything from law basics to paralegal studies, and international tax law thus enabling a student to practice in a wide range of venues after completion of the course.
Online degree courses utilize the latest in web-based and related information technologies The student who graduate from these courses thus becomes a complete, convenient and fulfilling lawyer just as an on-campus student. Interacting with lectures and tutors individually or in groups, mailing, taking part in electronic discussion forums, taking online self tuition tests and checking the grades are all possible in an online law degree program. Lectures are offered in audio files and as MP3, which can be listened whenever it suits a person, and even listen it again for revision or pause the audio, which is an advantage over off line programs. Tutorials are scheduled on a weekday evening using voice chat technology dealing with the aspects of the unit of work covered during that week.
Online law degree programs are in no way inferior to a regular offline program, which is emphasized by the fact that a virtual law library is available to the students. The database can be accessed by a password using the student ID number once he or she is enrolled as a student. Resources are available in abundance online and for students who do not have access at all to a physical law library, due allowance is made.
