For jurisprudents, those who aspire to law reform, or those with cutting analysis of a recent case is the Paper Presentation Competition.

A different style of competition, Paper Presentation involves researching and writing a legal essay and then presenting it to a panel of judges. Competitors compete individually and the papers may be written on any legal topic.

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

The winner of the National Paper Presentation Final will have their paper published in ALSA’s Academic Journal.
