The new ethernet connections have been installed, and new server hardware
and software for LJP, the electronic journal of language and law, have
arrived and will be installed today. LJP will be down temporarily as the
transition is made, possibly only a few hours tonight, possibly a bit
longer.

The next issue will contain abstracts of all papers presented at the Third
Biannual meeting of the International Conference of Forensic Linguists
(IAFL).
