[dundee] Eben Moglen

[Gordon Dunlop]

Hi,

I just got an email saying that the lecture venue has been changed.

_Email_
Gordon

I refer to your recent registration to attend the Scottish Society for
Computers & Law Annual Lecture which is taking place on 26 June 2007 and
write to advise you that due to the high demand for places at the event,
the lecture will now be taking place in Lecture Theatre 175, Old
College, School of Law, University of Edinburgh, South Bridge, Edinburgh
rather than the Faculty of Advocates Mackenzie Building as originally
advertised.
 
Regards

Rosie Saunders
