When at the outset of his career the great American lawyer and orator Daniel Webster
(1782-1852) was asked why he was entering the already over-crowded profession of
law, he replied, There's always room at the top!
It's with the same kind of ambition and determination that SCRIPT-ed is joining the
ever-growing ranks of online journals devoted to intellectual property and technology
law. And when I was reflecting on how journals get to the top, I found a few phrases,
from whence I just can't think, flowing out of my random access memory - or could
they have been pasted in from saved phrases? Anyway, they seemed to catch what
the establishment of this student-led and written journal already shows, as well as
what it will do in the future to claim its place at the top of the Google hit list.
Here are those phrases, in no particular order, and long may all of them be true of
SCRIPT-ed:
   *   new
   * inventive


* not obvious
* not commonplace
* state of the art
* original
* skill and labour
* intellectual creation
