"This book considers the function of the electronic signature, and demonstrates the inherent flexibility of the English common law response to the variations in form that manuscript signatures have been subject to as changes in technology have dictated. In keeping with the international nature of the internet, the author has gathered an international group of correspondents from almost every jurisdiction which has a law on electronic signatures, to ensure all the relevant law and regulations are listed in this text."

Electronic Signatures in Law

Mason, Stephen

LexisNexis

Electronic signatures are ubiquitous. Anyone sending an e-mail or using a credit card uses one. They can have a bearing on all areas of law, and no lawyer is immune from having to advise clients about their legal consequences. This third edition provides an exhaustive discussion of what constitutes an electronic signature, the forms an electronic signature can take and the issues relating to evidence, formation of contract and negligence in respect of electronic signatures. Case law from a wide range of common law and civil law jurisdictions is analysed to illustrate how judges have dealt with changes in technology in the past and how the law has adapted in response.

COMING AUGUST 2019! A company full of potential CEOs would be one of the greatest assets an organization could ever hope to acquire. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves to make it happen? The Leaders Within: Engagement, Leadership Development, and Succession Planning presents an integrated model for creating an organizational infrastructure in which leadership development acts as a funnel for succession planning. When they follow this guidance, readers can enhance their organization’s learning, leadership, and longevity. The authors draw on their real-world experience in a large health system to define the three unique roles in creating a successful leadership development and succession planning program: the Visionary, who helps the organization and its employees see their future potential; the Architect, who oversees the actual implementation of the program; and the Board Advocate, who secures the governing board’s support for the process. Readers will recognize which role they personally play and gain a deeper understanding of how their organization can embed leadership development and succession planning in its DNA. Examples and case studies gathered from over the course of a decade are used to address topics such as: Achieving buy-in from the board and executive teamIdentifying potential succession candidates Assessing candidates’ strengths and opportunities for developmentReplacing key leaders while maintaining leadership continuity Succession planning and leadership development are two manifestations of the same core principles: a commitment to company values, a desire to foster leadership potential, and a long-term vision for the organization’s success.

Formerly Email and the Internet at work, this is the 5th Edition of this important work. Networked communications covers a wide range of hardware and software and the law relating to their use in the workplace is complex. The work Email will simply no longer describe the issues that face employers and their IT managers. A non-exhaustive list includes: * Facsimile transmissions * Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) * E-mail * Use of the internet * P2P * Instant messaging * MP3 files * Employee blogs * Computers and laptops * Newsgroups and chat networks * Mobile telephones, personal digital assistants and Blackberry The law - from contract, through potential criminal and civil disputes, to specialist IT law - is hugely complex for lawyers let alone those who have to work with it. Stephen Mason's unique guide is admirable in cutting through the legalease with superb examples that explain as well as illustrate. The inclusion of a full range of networked technology ensure it continues to be the leading practical work for the industry.

Stephen Mason lived quietly in southern California, raising his family and pursuing his own spiritual path. Over the years he worked out a personal philosophical and religious worldview. In his last years he wanted to pass down to his children and grandchildren the essence of what he had found on his life quest. Rather than a long monologue on the meaning of life, he adopted the use of aphorisms, in the style of Chinese sages or Sufi mystics, to share his lifetime of wisdom. The result is this book. A gem of a book that helps us navigate the complex road of life by understanding we are on a journey of self-development, linked to our connection with the Divine. Mason weaves a kaleidoscope of provocative quotes by famous writers, thinkers, and artists into his philosophy. He offers not only the practical suggestions of simplicity, solitude, meditation, and prayer, but also compelling advice. He speaks to us of our completeness, while clearing the path toward personal evolution. Mason helps you enter the heart of your life, into the Garden of Life, where you experience 'the cultivation of your soul'.
