Graham Greenleaf's Web Pages - 2008

Thanks for visiting my web pages. My work concerns the inter-relationships between information technology and law.  In 2008 I will be teaching at UNSW LLM courses Commons in Intellectual Property and Data Surveillance and Information Privacy Law. In Semester 2 2007 I was a Visiting Fellow, AHRC Research Centre for the Study of IP and Technology Law, University of Edinburgh. 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 two new ARC grants  from 2008 (below).   A more detailed biographical note is available.
