Dear Readers
The International Legal Informatics Symposium (IRIS) 2021 has covered a wide range of topics. In this issue, we publish the papers on LegalTech, AI Law, E-Government, E-Justice, E-Democracy, Legal Visualization and Theory, Security & Law, Copyright, and E-Commerce.
The general theme at the conference was "Cybergovernance" (see the February issue for more information). Rolf H. Weber remains true to the theme and devotes a new article to the question of which regulatory models can be useful for governance in the cybersecurity sector.
In their article on phishing, Fabian Teichmann and Léonard Gerber provide an overview of the criminal elements of Swiss computer criminal law and the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime.
In the new regular column "The DPO View", Nora Vanessa Rümbeli focuses on data culture and asks whether it is an asset or a buzzword.
In TechLawNews by Ronzani Schlauri Attorneys, the authors address the topics of online shopping withdrawal rights, fuzzy know-how, server side public license, and the Covid digital vaccination card.
There is a lot going on in the field of IT and law - which is why the next issue will be published already in June this time! As always, we look forward to your contributions.
We wish you an exciting read!

Pitamic’s challenge opens very broad creative possibilities. For the author of this paper, it is of special importance that Pitamic’s theory also fecundates the modern theory of argumentation in law. The methodological pluralism makes it possible to accept the theory of graduated legal order and to treat it contentually. It is of decisive importance to differentiate between the legal text and the understanding thereof. Acting in a responsible manner, one cannot avoid the arguments of understanding. The work of a lawyer is creative, yet it also burdens him with responsibility that has to be borne.
