2. Some good news
Congratulations to Monash JD student Nina Vallins who won the Family Law Section of Law Council essay competition in memory of Michael Taussig QC.
Nina was encouraged and supported by Dr Adiva Sifris, and their success is a fine example of what can follow from Monash academics seeing opportunities for students arising out of academic interactions with students and helping them seize those opportunities. Well done to both Nina and Adiva.
3. Cork Online Law Review seeking submissions for the 16th Edition
The Cork Online Law Review at University College Cork, Ireland, is a non-profit Law Review which provides an opportunity for undergraduates and graduates alike to have their work published. The Cork Online Law Review (COLR) was revolutionary when established by law students who had the vision of forming Ireland’s only online law review to be run solely by law students. All articles are peer-reviewed by the UCC Faculty of Law.
COLR is internationally renowned, having been described by the New York University Law Faculty as ‘the leading online law review in Ireland,’ and can be viewed at http://corkonlinelawreview.com.
The Editorial Board of the Cork Online Law Review is currently seeking submissions for the 16th Edition which is due to be published online at http://corkonlinelawreview.com/index.php/category/editions/ and in hard copy in early March 2017. All submissions should be on a legal topic, and be between 3000 and 9000 words in length. Submissions are also welcome in Irish, and French. Book reviews and case notes will also be considered. We use the Oxford Style guide as our house style guide.
There is a medal for the overall best submission, with an accompanying cash prize of €300, as well as a medal for best non-English submission.
