The Conference committee is looking for presentations that highlight the Conference theme THE NEW NORMAL.

Our sub-themes are as follows:

  • Post COVID considerations
  • Where to from here?
  • How have things changed?

If you are struggling to think of topics, have a think about:

  • Post COVID considerations: 
    • How has covid affected your work, your life, the library profession, the legal profession? 
  • What do we do from here: 
    • How do we deal with fake information and disinformation; how do we respond to the changes in society with regards to gender and cultural inequality? How can we as law librarians help these changes and change makers?
  • How have things changed: 
    • Legal history, how will legal history be recorded / accessed in the future? What is your favourite legal topic? Has it changed lately? How have the courts changed? Are trials now more like tv court?
