Legal Aspects of Volunteering

In this issue of "Along the Web" we focus on liability, risk management and other legal issues pertinent to volunteering. These legal areas tend to be very jurisdiction-specific. We've limited the list here to countries with a common background in the English system, but we've marked each item with its country of origin, in case discussions of legal liability make you paranoid: Australia (AU), Canada (CA), United Kingdom (UK), and United States (US).
