Last month at the International Business Law Services (IBLS) Strategic Global Summit for E-Commerce, Pauline Reich, an associate professor at Waseda University School of Law in Tokyo, Japan, gave a speech entitled "Legal Issues: Internet and E-mail in the Workplace." Reich is also a well-known expert in the areas of cyberlaw and Internet-based legal, business and government research.

During her talk, Reich explored the worldwide evolution of procedures governing Internet use in the workplace and discussed the factors managers need to consider when instituting an Internet and e-mail policy. She emphasized that establishing such a policy is essential and that setting forth guidelines for everyone -- including on-site employees, telecommuters, temps, consultants and independent contractors -- can avert a host of disasters, from basic liability to leaks of company secrets.

Reich spoke with the E-Commerce Times recently about some of the topics she discussed during her lecture.
