Save the date - 13th Australian Dispute Resolution Research Network Roundtable, 27-28 November 2025

The Australian Centre for Justice Innovation (ACJI) is pleased to support the 13th Australian Dispute Resolution Research Network Roundtable, hosted by the Faculty of Law, Monash University on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 November 2025.

The event will be held at Monash University Clayton Campus (approx. 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD). There are many public transport options to Monash from inner city Melbourne and we will share details for attendees from afar.

The Roundtable is an opportunity to present work in progress and receive feedback and critique in a supportive and friendly environment, and to network with leading dispute resolution academics. We have honed our format over the years and will adopt the following approach:

  • a focus on work in progress (ie, it’s not a conference, but a collaborative workshop around a table of supportive peers)
  • a limited number of papers selected for in-depth discussion
  • there is at least one appointed commentator for each paper
  • attendance is limited to people who are presenting or commentating upon papers
  • full papers must be submitted for distribution one month prior to the roundtable
    publication of a blog post based upon the paper is expected for all presenters

Anyone working in civil justice and any form of dispute resolution including mediation, conciliation, negotiation and arbitration is encouraged to attend. Scholars from outside Australia are also welcome to attend.

Early Career Researchers and PhD students are particularly encouraged to participate. We are a kind and supportive group of scholars and are very welcoming of newcomers.

The call for papers will be released in June or July.
