       ANNOUNCING THE "LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP NETWORK"
------------------------------------------------------------

Professors Ronald J. Gilson and A. Mitchell Polinsky are
pleased to announce the formation of the Legal Scholarship
Network (LSN).  The goal of LSN is to facilitate the
distribution of scholarly information related to law -- to
legal, economics, and business scholars and practitioners
throughout the world.  LSN is a division of Social Science
Electronic Publishing, Inc., which also sponsors the
Financial Economics Network (FEN) and the Accounting
Research Network (ARN).

The Legal Scholarship Network will soon begin publishing a
series of electronic journals of abstracts -- of working
papers as well as articles accepted for publication -- in
various areas of law.  These journals will be distributed
principally via the Internet, but also may be provided by
paper, fax, or diskette.  In addition to including abstracts
of scholarly papers, the journals will carry announcements
of professional meetings, calls for papers, and job
openings.  Early plans are for journals in law and
economics, environmental law and policy, constitutional law,
corporate and securities law, intellectual property law, and
tax law.  Journals in other major fields of law will follow
thereafter.

The Legal Scholarship Network will be Co-Directed by
Ronald J. Gilson and A. Mitchell Polinsky.  Gilson is the
Charles J. Meyers Professor of Law and Business at Stanford
Law School, and the Marc and Eva Stern Professor of Law and
Business at the Columbia University School of Law.  Polinsky
is the Josephine Scott Crocker Professor of Law and
Economics and Director of the John M. Olin Program in Law
and Economics at Stanford Law School, and a past President
of the American Law and Economics Association.

Professors Gilson and Polinsky also will serve as the Co-
Editors of Law and Economics Abstracts (LEA), the first of
the electronic journals of abstracts to be published by the
Legal Scholarship Network.

To become a subscriber to the ELECTRONIC version of LEA and
subsequent journals published by the Legal Scholarship
Network, send an e-mail request to

Sandy_Barnes@Journal.Com

Put "subscribe to LEA" in the body of the message.  LEA (and
other LSN journals) will be offered free to subscribers
during an initial start-up phase of publication.

The Legal Scholarship Network also is considering whether to
offer a PAPER or FAX or DISKETTE version of LEA.  If you are
interested in receiving LEA in one of these formats, please
send a letter or fax or e-mail message to

A. Mitchell Polinsky, Co-Editor
Law and Economics Abstracts
Legal Scholarship Network
P.O. Box 2329
Stanford, CA 94309

(415) 855-9966 fax
Mitchell_Polinsky@Journal.Com

Include the name, title, organization, and postal address or
fax number of the person to whom issues of LEA should be
sent, and whether you prefer paper, fax, or diskette
delivery.  (Also please include a voice number to call in
case there are fax transmission problems.)  Depending on the
preferences of potential subscribers, LEA may be provided in
one or more of these alternative formats.  Free trial
subscriptions also will be available for these versions of
LEA.

Authors interested in having abstracts of their articles
included in Law and Economics Abstracts should submit an
abstract (approximately 150 words) to Professor Polinsky.
It would be most helpful if it were submitted by e-mail, to:
Mitchell_Polinsky@Journal.Com

A "hard copy" of the article also should be sent to
Professor Polinsky at his postal address above.  Abstracts
also may be submitted on a diskette (please indicate format,
ASCII preferred) or by hard copy.  If one of these options
is used, please send the abstract, plus a hard copy of the
manuscript, to the preceding postal address.  Professional
announcements should be submitted to Professor Polinsky,
preferably by e-mail.

Professors Gilson and Polinsky welcome comments and
suggestions about the Legal Scholarship Network.  They may
