Graham Greenleaf – Research & Projects

Current Research & Development Projects

	‘Unlocking IP’ (2005-09) is an Australian Research Council Linkage Project, for which I am the lead Investigator.
	‘Interpreting Privacy Principles’ (2006-09) is an Australian Research Council Discovery Project, for which I am the lead Investigator.
	The Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) (1995 – ) is more like a life’s work than a project. I was co-founder in 1995 with Andrew Mowbray and have been Co-Director since then, with Philip Chung as Executive Director since 2000. AustLII’s early history is recounted in The AustLII Papers - New Directions in Law via the Internet (1997) JILT 1997, Issue 2.
	The World Legal Information Institute (WorldLII) was established by AustLII in 2002 in conjunction with other LIIs as a portal to free access to law. I am a Co-Director (as AustLII Co-Director).
	The Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre was established by me at UNSW Law Faculty in 2000, and I have been the academic Director since then (David Vaile is the Executive Director). From 2001-2005 it was funded by Baker & McKenzie and took the name of the firm. The ‘Unlocking IP’ and ‘Interpreting Privacy Principles’ projects are based at the Centre.

Completed Research & Development Projects

DIAL	Project DIAL (Development of the Internet for Asian Law) (1997-2002), funded by the Asian Development Bank, resulted in the development of the WorldLII Catalog, the Internet’s largest law-specific catalog of web sites, used by WorldLII, AsianLII, CommonLII and other LIIs for their index/websearch components.
	The Hong Kong Legal Information Institute (2001-02) – HKLII was established while I was a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law.
