Meeting Description:

Internet and social media platforms dedicated to community-based input,
interaction, content-sharing and collaboration are becoming one of the most
prevalent means of communication in a variety of academic, professional and
organizational contexts, highlighting greater opportunities for social media
knowledge and development in an expanding global reality and modern society.

The influence of Web-based technologies and social media has entered the
mainstream and become so pervasive in human communication today that it is
difficult to imagine any aspect of academic or professional life that has not
been invaded by recent developments in new media. Being a very conservative
discipline within its rationalistic terms of discourses and genres, law has
always been relatively slow to accept any change in its traditions, processes,
practices and, of course, mindset. However, even in law, particularly in the
last few years, there has been an enthusiastic acceptance of the role of new
media sites and services in the way law enforcement operates in investigative
activities, introducing substantial changes to communication between
organizations, institutions, communities and individuals and developing
comprehensive integration strategies to improve access to justice. This
growing influence of media usage is also making its way into novel forms of
legal discourse, and also, perhaps more critically, into specific issues
arising from the use of legal discourse in its various traditional and
newly-emerging (social) media contexts, and brings to the fore the social
power these novel resources are now framing for problem-based inquiries in
law. Alongside this, potential is mounting for the role of (social-) media as
an instrument of interdiscursive and interdisciplinary procedure,
exploitation, and management of public and private discursive space and
practice and is already visible in current socio-legal media contexts.
