Guidelines for Paper Presentation at the Parallel Sessions
(applicable to presenters whose abstracts have been accepted for presentation)
The language of presentation is English. Each speaker will be allocated a maximum of 15 minutes to present his or her paper. The presentation venues are equipped with a computer and LCD projector. Speakers who wish to use Powerpoint slides to present their papers should save their slides onto a USB drive or CD for this purpose.


Distribution of Papers at Conference
(applicable to presenters whose abstracts have been accepted)

Please note that prior to the conference the organizers will put the papers on a USB thumb drive. A USB thumb drive will be made available to each delegate.

As part of ASLI's efforts of going green, we are embarking on a paperless conference therefore we are doing away with the hard copies of individual papers. Printing stations will be made available if you are in of printing the papers presented. We encourage you not to print too much so that we do not waste paper. Neither the USB thumb drive nor the hard copies of individual papers will constitute publication; papers will not thereafter be published by the conference organizers or made available to individuals or libraries. Presenters will retain copyright of their papers and will be free to submit them for publication elsewhere. No papers may be cited without prior permission from the authors.


Publication of Selected Papers

Selected papers may be considered for publication in the Asian Journal of Comparative Law. Papers will be selected by the editorial teams of the journals and will undergo the usual referreeing process. Neither the conference organizers nor ASLI will be involved in the paper selection process.

Participants who wish to have their papers considered for publication will have to provide the final manuscript (not more than 10,000 words total) to the journal editors by 30 June 2014. This will give contributors one month to incorporate feedback on their papers from their presentations at the conference.
