Lex Technologiae

About

This began, more or less, as a dump of my SSRN Briefcase.  It will be supplemented and added to with additional resources.  Further, the most-proper citations and locations of each paper will be sought and updated.  If you have recommendations for articles or books to add to this list, please contact John.

This is a continuing project, please forgive its perpetually unfinished state.
