On 1-10, [email protected] (Bitcoin Foundation's counsel) said he got approval to research and publish guidelines about this. Not seen/heard anything since.

I just hatched the egg on the BTCLAG.org website. Nothing earth shaking yet but it is live and I will be researching and adding topics over the coming weeks - if there is anything in particular you want me start with please feel free to send me a message and ill take a look

My plan is to have a practice that, among other things, supports and defends BTC, and other alternative currencies.

My experience is with US law so I will start there, but my plans are to expand into other countries as I can gather the appropriate information

your website seems to be gone

Will you check legal and taxation issues for US side only or also for other countries?

I have not lost interest. Studying for the Feb. FL bar exam  

In fact, CLAG has an intern presenting at Bitcoin 2013 in San Jose.

I just finished law school and I am taking the CA bar in July. I am very interested in crypto-currency advocacy, taxation issues etc.  I saw that in the past someone made an attempt (theclag.org), to address this area, but it seems they have fallen off the radar or lost interest. I just reserved btclag.com, org, net, info, and I plan to start compiling information on legal topics and non-binding legal research on crypto-currency (at btclag.org to begin with).

This board is a good source of info but finding good legal information can be challenging for the lay person and the accuracy can be problematic, as the board is geared for opinion type discourse that can often lead down various rabbit holes.
I am not a licensed attorney yet and any information shared is purely for informational purposes only. Legal information is not the same as legal advice, which is the application of law to an individual's specific circumstances.  I focused on cyber law in law school and I also have 20 plus years of IT knowledge and background to add to the mix.

I will post more information once I get the site up and running. When I pass the Bar I plan to do legal work surrounding Bitcoin and other crypto-currency. In the meantime I want to start amassing useful information for you to refer to

btclag.org - Bitcoin Legal Advocacy Group.

If you have any topics or information you want to share please feel free to PM me and I will take a look.


Thanks

David
