Papers are formal presentations on a contribution of original knowledge by one
or more authors within a thirty-minute period, including 20 minutes for
presentation and 10 minutes for discussion. Paper presentations will be
organized into sessions of 2-3 papers grouped by strand or theme.
All presenters must present their work during their scheduled time. No time
changes will be allowed even if the previous presenter is absent or has
finished early. Each presenter must make sure that they respect their
allocated time in order to allow for the other presenters in the session to
set up their equipment and start on time.

Posters: 

Poster presentations are intended for face-to-face discussions of research.
Posters are especially effective for information that can be presented
visually (e.g. charts, graphs, tables, diagrams). Prospective presenters are
encouraged to consider posters, because of the opportunity they provide for
extended discussion with other researchers. There will be a designated poster
session scheduled, and presenters are required to be present at their posters
during the session. For the rest of the period, presenters may choose to stay
at their poster board at their discretion.

Organising Committee:

Georgina Heydon (IAFL President), RMIT University
Ikuko Nakane, University of Melbourne
Peter Gray, Federal Court (ret.)
Greg Reinhardt, Australasian Institute of Judicial Administration
