3.0 out of 5 stars Maybe it's the subject..., March 31, 1999

This review is from: Managing Legal and Security Risks in Computers and Communications (Paperback)

But this book is really 'dry' to read. Plus, I expected a greater emphasis on computing and the internet, which are fertile areas for this subject. Nevertheless, there's some common sense information that might appeal to some law afficcionado.
