Abstract
The lawyer-proof Web site is, regrettably, either a contradiction in terms or an unachievable Platonic ideal. Whilst it may be possible to ensure that a Web site is reasonably safe under the laws of one country, or even a few major countries, the chances of doing so for every country from which it can be accessed are not great. The ideal of the lawyer-proof Web site also embodies a hidden irony: to approach the ideal the site designer needs to involve a lawyer in the design of the Web site from an early stage, before irrevocable decisions about structure of the site and pathways through it have been taken and implemented.Keywords
