You can visit http://slba.info for more on the Second Life Bar Association, but all you need to do is find the “Group” using the Second Life search tool, and then hit join (this all happens in-world).

Note that the SLURL in this article is old, and takes you to the SLBA’s original office location, not the new one. I have no idea what is there now!

Thanks for the note, M.Tchou. The grid is scheduled to be back up by noon, Pacific. So — fingers crossed — it’ll actually be done and stable well before the meeting at 7:00 pm, even allowing for some additional time. Hope to see you there.

I’m guessing that the meeting is virtual, and is to be held within SL. If so, I believe there may exist something of a schedule conflict. Last time I checked, the grid engineers had scheduled most of April 18 as offline time. Something about updating the software, I think. Best regards to all. M.Tchou

[...] 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.

Hi Ben,

Despite my intermittent wanderings as an avatar through the SL world, the fact is that I first learned about the existence of several legal endeavors in that universe precisely through the ABA Journal issue of last March.

I feel that you project of creating a SLBA is a fascinating one and, moreover, it may also help to build up new bridges across professionals and scholars locally or globally engaged in real or fictional legal chores. It could be both, enlightening and fun.

While I am based in Europe and my watch runs 9 hours ahead of yours in SFO, my experience indicates that such a circumstance will not be a serious obstacle in interacting with others scattered across the U.S., or the rest of the world.

I would like to know what are the requirements to join the SLBA and to kindly ask you to let me know about them.

Thank you for for your attention to this note.

Most cordially, Win
