Graham Greenleaf of Austlii has just sent us through details of this the inaugural ASIANLII conference. Normally we can’t be bothered with most conferences which we tend to find just re-tread a lot of old ground…..
The First AsianLII Conference 2009 – ‘Building capacity for free access to law in Asia’ to be held Sydney from 23-25 February 2009 offers a little more than the usual fare
We find that the majority of the presentations and workshops cover subject matter that will be of use to anyone running a practice in the region.. never mind Librarians, KM’s and IT managers working in the legal field
Here are some of the topics that will be covered
- Free access to law in Asia: The state of play
- Challenges and opportunities in relation to free access to law in Asia
- Law in Asian languages: Search engines and translations
- New content for free access in Asia
- Recognition of laws by foreign courts: The role of online law
- Civil law countries in Asia: Challenges in providing free access to law
- Where next for free access to law in Asia?’
- Common law and South Asian countries: Comparing free access
