    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).
