Faculty Research Seminar Series

Melbourne Law School's Faculty Research Seminar Series (FRSS) is a place to present and discuss work-in-progress, promising arguments and early drafts to interested staff, graduate research students and visitors. The 2013 series is jointly organized and hosted by Dr Jeannie Paterson and Dr Kirsty Gover. The seminars are held every week from 1:10pm-2:00pm in Room 920, Level 9 – Melbourne Law School. A light lunch is provided from 1:00pm.

The presenter will normally speak for about 30 minutes, followed by time for questions.
