About the Conference

The evolution of the use of information and data transmission-technologies in the legal field has played an important role for the development of methods of creation and access to legal data. Taken this as a well-established basis, the Conference to be held in Florence intends to focus on "digital legal information", analyzing its aspects in the light of the idea of freedom of digital legal culture and knowledge and of the technological progress that is shaping law. Within this interaction of technological progress and law, free access to information is only the first, but fundamental step. Quality is necessarily connected to the topic of access to information, since it ensures that the information is complete, reliable and clear. Therefore, the full knowledge of quality legal information makes it possible to citizens to exercise in a conscious and effective way the rights and safeguarding rules set by the judicial system. In this way, the use of new technologies becomes an irreplaceable tool of democracy for the citizen of the e-society.
