"Paper Presentation is for jurisprudents, those who aspire to law reform, or those with cutting analysis of a recent case"

 Registration for the UTS Paper Presentation Competition is now open and will close on the 19th of April!

Paper Presentation involves researching and writing a legal essay of 3000-5000 words and then presenting it to a panel of judges over a period of 15 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of questions from the panel. Competitors compete individually and the papers may be written on any legal topic. Examples of topics include proposed areas of law reform, and case analysis.

The panel may ask questions as they see fit to determine the depth of knowledge and understanding the competitor has in their chosen field. Competitors are assessed on both their written essay and presentation.

UTS will be holding an internal competition in late May to select one student to be sent to the ALSA Conference to compete nationally. The winner of the ALSA National Paper Presentation Competition will have their paper published in ALSA’s Academic Journal.

To register for the UTS Competition email comps.intervarsity@utslss.com with your name, mobile number and proposed legal topic, by the 19th of April. The deadline for submission of written essays for the internal UTS competition is scheduled for the 17th of May.
