#Hybrid #arbitration case law hits Aus! If you're interested in a deep-dive into the recent Downer Utilities case, be sure to download last week's Case by Case podcast episode where I discuss the decision with Luke Zadkovich and Calum Cheyne of Floyd Zadkovich: open.spotify.com/episode/3K0h...
I've heard a lot of advice along these lines, though I don't think it's so black and white. Given how language-based my discipline is, I see many activities as very valuable progress: new writing, reworking, checking, referencing ... So for me, the question is: does the formatting serve a purpose?
At any given time I have a spam folder full of invitations to publish in materials sciences journals ... And also the occasional medical journal!
During my undergrad studies, there was a high performing student - lets call them 'Bob' - who circulated their notes after each class and 'Bob's notes' became both sought after and legendary even for years after they graduated. For the exact reason you give here, I could never understand why!
Congratulations!!

Announcement: 14th Roundtable at RMIT in Melbourne
I am pleased to announce the details of the 14th Australian Dispute Resolution Research Network roundtable. It will be held at RMIT University on the 18th and 19th November 2026 at our city campus. Thanks again for the hard work of the organizers…
My LLB cohort was taking property and land law when anonymous exam marking was introduced. Our lecturer told us to write our student ID number on the cover of our script book, but not to write our names anywhere. We took great delight in telling her that wasn't possible for our friend: Grant.
For those of you who missed my @lauterpachtcentre.bsky.social lunchtime lecture last Friday you can have a watch (sans Q&A) here: youtu.be/jUxNiGTAX9o?...
So many thoughts about #Tesseract ... now in hard copy too! If you'd like to read my research addressing what the High Court gets right and wrong (mostly wrong) about #private #international #law in #arbitration, see the link below, or send me a DM or email! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Huge good luck!!
What's been happening in Asia-Pacific commercial arbitration law? Quite a lot, of course! My recent article in #Arbitration explores select developments over 2024 to 2025. kluwerlawonline.com/journalartic...
I can say with absolute sincerity that despite my own research interests being in the private international law side of things, Called to the Bar has been amongst my very few favourite podcasts of the last two years!
The ANZSIL/Australian yearbook of international law student paper prize is open!

I have got my copy already. Have you got yours?
I live by this in my academic writing! My first drafts are always, always, entirely awful. But they are a start, and that's all I need!
With thanks to UNCCA, I really enjoyed watching this year's UN Day Seminar. If you're also interested in learning from the great panel discussion addressing international trade and the role of bodies like UNCITRAL, the recording is available here: www.youtube.com/live/WzBHmTi...
I wore my academic robes to Halloween last year. It got a lot of laughs, and a couple of understanding nods ... :-)
With thanks to the International Law Association's Australia Branch, it was a lot of fun to act as commentator on last night's #international #commercial #law research webinar featuring Inma Conde and Xiaolei Han, moderated by Matt Lee. Thanks for having me!
I had a good friend in high school who was convinced that his English teacher was not really reading the essays being graded. He inserted the words 'cat eight Egypt' in the middle of a sentence, out of context, to test his theory. It's still a source of amusement for our cohort to this day!
I find this really interesting. My own legal research training was pre-Google Scholar. I use Google Scholar a lot, but I also wouldn't have a problem adapting if it disappeared. All the old ways are still there! And I find I continue using them concurrently with Google Scholar right now anyway.
I once had an administrator acknowledge to me that many people who their university would like to have apply for awards don't, because they are too busy doing the good work that would justify their applying for an award!
With thanks to the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia for the opportunity to contribute to today's generative AI law assessment showcase. Lots to learn from others' research and strategies and very glad to contribute!
This is (more or less) the story of the Samurai Pizza Cats! Which I was excited to be able to work in as the theme of a conference paper I presented earlier this year ...
And that's how it's done done done!
Our @monash-iticl.bsky.social feed recently (cheekily) pointed out that despite AI integration, you still can't add comment boxes to footnotes in Word. A reply correctly observed you can attach comments to the footnote marker. But for the reason you give here, very often that's still not useful!
I can report that 'Golden' is now a staple of our before school and before bed-time routine. It's a start!
Unfortunately (for them), my family has had to put up with me talking about it all weekend ... !
I had a great time this week chatting to Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu on the #EVApodcast about #arbitration in #Australia! For those interested, the podcast is available in all the usual places, including here: open.spotify.com/episode/0fOh...
