Virtual SCOTUS and The Great Debate

Just visited Ichiro Tokugawa's recreation-in-progress of the Supreme Court of the United States on Democracy Island. Wow! Check out the pics below (click to enlarge). The virtual SCOTUS is a pretty intense symbolic environment. We'll use that energy as an engine for island activies in part by exploring The Great Debate questions from State of Play:

Is thinking about virtual worlds as distinct legal realms a misguided form of utopianism? Or do we need a transnational approach to make sense of the distinctive legal problems that cyberspace seems to produce? If the net is a separate legal sphere, where should its laws come from? What form of governance should it have? Will rules established and enforced within virtual worlds be entitled to deference from local governments and when? To what kinds of virtual worlds or cyberspaces should which rules about jurisdiction apply? Does anything about the medium of virtual worlds change the debate or what have we learned in the last decade?

Justice Soothsayer (SL name) AKA Robert Van Der Velde, a professor who teaches Administrative Law at Eastern Michigan University, is instrumental in the SCOTUS project and will be a point of contact for its uses on the island. Ichiro and Justice will both be on-hand for the January 7th opening (that's Ichiro, Justice, and myself, from left to right in the group picture below).

I wonder what pre-Internet judges like Oliver Wendell Holmes (1841-1935—pictured with my avatar below in a portrait that hangs in both the real and virtual SCOTUS) would have made of things like the great debate and a virtual SCOTUS...
