Second Life is set to to hold Canada's first “Virtual Law Conference” Thursday. The conference is being put on by Queens University’s Faculty of law, and will be hosted in world at the “Queen's Faculty of Education Island.”
The story “Lawyers boot up for ‘virtual law conference'” was picked up by CTV news today.
From the looks of it participants do not have to be professional Second Life players, or even be remotely familiar with it, which is a definite positive for those taking part. The idea of Law Conferences being held in a virtual world through the use of an avatar is intriguing, it saves money and people are able to attend from the comfort of their own living room or office… but what comes next virtual trials, virtual juries, or even virtual prisons?
I'm curious if those partaking in the event were given a quick lesson in the use of Second Life, otherwise it could be a fairly entertaining experience.
