Having yesterday reported on law students exploring property law in SL, today more news on the legal front. Second Life contains its own bar association. They have, of course, their own website and are building up to have an important meeting next Wednesday (18th April) where it is likely they will be changing the rules to charge for membership.

I’m not a lawyer and have only a passing acquaintance with lawyers and the law, but it strikes me that as the SL community grows so will the drive to have lawyers and to trash out laws. In fact a little poking into the background of Benjamin Noble reveals he has already started this process, as he is one of the architects of the legal system of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (Neufreistadt and Colonia Nova), one of the few places to have a legal system that we might recognise from RL.
