Graham Greenleaf's Web Pages - 2009

Thanks for visiting my web pages. My work concerns the inter-relationships between information technology and law.  In 2009 I will mainly be involved in completing variious Australian Research Council and AusAID funded research projects, and in postgraduate supervision. At UNSW, much of my time is taken up as Co-Director of the Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) and associated international projects (particularly AsianLII),  and as Co-Director of the  Cyberspace Law & Policy Centre. I am currently  the project leader on two Australian Research Council funded projects, 'Unlocking IP' (2005-09) and 'Interpreting Privacy Principles' (2006-09), and an Ausaid-funded projected, AsianLII (2006-08). My recent work also involved analyses of Australia's proposed ID card (now scrapped). My AustLII colleagues I have received a number of new ARC and other  grants  (details below).   A more detailed biographical note is available.
