Law and Technology-On Shoring Up a Void

Leff, Arthur
Abstract
In his book Channeling Technology Through Law Professor Laurence H. Tribe sought to explore the relationship between law and technology. His search was premised on the widely-shared belief that technology has gained a momentum of its own and is fast becoming uncontrollable in ways that, in Tribe's own words, "threaten to reduce the meaning of man and to degrade the human spirit ...". In the book and in the articles that followed it Tribe has stressed the importance of the law's role in wisely controlling technology.
