Second Life, a computerized virtual world in which real people create characters and interact, has gained an increasing popularity over the past year. Though not yet part of the mainstream, Second Life continues to add users every single day. And now, many large companies have started to play the game, setting up Second Life stores and information boutiques. To learn more about Second Life, which can get confusing at times, please visit the website.

Believe it or not, there is a Bar Association in the Second Life world. Called the SL Bar Association, they offer similar benefits to Second Life lawyers as a traditional bar association. That now includes Continuing Legal Education courses, at least one. This blog, about a free CLE course for attorneys in Second Life, is particularly thought provoking. 

Imagine the possibilities of a virtual world where anyone and everyone can learn anything they want at any time. The internet, and now Second Life, has put the impossible in our hands. As the shift from traditional formats and venues to online media continues, it will be interesting to see what new services and opportunities sprout up.
