Automated 3rd party software ("bots") scan the internet for registration forms with the idea of establishing bogus, but usable, accounts on a website. Once an account is established, the scammer then has the member privileges to the site. In the case of My Legal Education Log, there is no danger of anyone or anything gaining access to your information. However, because bots are automated and relentless, our database can be polluted with many useless records of ficticous users, and can take a performance hit because of it.

To block activity like this, we have adopted a "human detector" verification process. This process requires a human eye to read a word from a computer-generated image, and then type it into a submission form. We regret the inconvenience, however this will only be required once when you create an account.
