SUMMARY:[POSTPONED] Reflecting on 25 Years of the Young Offenders Act 1997 in NSW
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on 25 Years of the Young Offenders Act 1997 in NSW\nHybrid event \n**Please note that this event has now been postponed. A new date will be released shortly.** \nIn April 1998\, the Young Offenders Act 1997 commenced in New South Wales. It provided a legislative basis for the diversion of young people from formal court proceedings and introduced\, amongst other things\, youth justice conferences. A panel discussion involving key actors in the development and initial implementation of the YOA will reflect on this history and discuss the challenges of implementing the legislation and the benefits of diverting young people from more formal criminal justice interventions. \nGarner Clancey (Associate Professor Criminology\, Sydney Law School) will facilitate this panel discussion which will\, amongst others\, include: \nJenny Bargen\nJenny’s passion for reforming the way police respond to children and young people was kindled while working with unemployed young people at Rozelle Community Youth Support Scheme in the early ‘80s when she first moved to Sydney. Many of these young people reported negative experiences in their frequent encounters with police on the streets. Marrickville Legal Centre had established the first Children’s Legal Service in Sydney and was hearing similar stories about police malpractice. Some years later\, after completing my law degree\, Jenny became one of the early members of the Youth Justice Coalition and participated in preparing and writing Kids in Justice\, a Blueprint for the’90s\, and then lobbying government to implement the recommendations. Those implemented included the establishment of Juvenile Justice as a separate government department and the appointment of the Juvenile Justice Advisory Council (JJAC) with our former Governor Maree Bashir as chair. Jenny joined the academic staff at UNSW Law School in 1990\, where she taught and researched in juvenile justice and children and the law\, while remaining an active member of the YJC. Jenny also served on the JJAC\, and on the Children’s Law and Criminal Law committees of the Law Society of NSW\, and was a member of the working party on entry into the juvenile justice system chaired by the then Police Commissioner Anthony Lauer. This working party was responsible for preparing the chapter on juvenile entry into the Juvenile Justice System for the Green Paper\, Future Directions in Juvenile Justice in New South Wales. The report was presented to the Minister for Juvenile Justice by JJAC in August 1992. \nLater\, as a member of the YJC\, Jenny and many others contributed to the work of the Minor Offenders Punishment Scheme committee that ultimately recommended the introduction of the Young Offenders Act. Jenny was appointed as Director of the Youth Justice Conferencing Directorate in the Department of Juvenile Justice in 1997\, and worked closely for 10 years with police\, the ODPP\, lawyers\, courts and community organisations in implementing and operating under the Act. \nRichard Funston\nRichard worked as solicitor Children’s Legal Service with Legal Aid Victoria from 1987 to 1993\, then principal solicitor Inner City Legal Centre NSW from 1993 to 1998.  Richard was appointed solicitor in charge Children’s Legal Service at Legal Aid NSW from 1998 to 2003.  Richard was a member of the Executive at Legal Aid NSW in various roles including Director Criminal Law and Deputy Chief Executive Officer from 2003 to 2018.  Richard was appointed a magistrate in 2018 and specialist children’s magistrate at the start of this year.  \nActing Superintendent Joanne Schultz \nJoanne has been a member of the NSW Police Force for 35 years. From 1998 to 2002 Joanne was the Principal Tutor Youth at the NSWPF Academy and was heavily involved in the roll out of the Specialist Youth Officer Workshop and Youth Liaison Officer Courses across New South Wales. Joanne is currently relieving as Commander\, Mid North Coast Police District. \nDr Jane Bolitho \nDr Bolitho is a highly respected expert in restorative justice\, restorative practices\, and violence and conflict resolution. Her work explores the experiences of those coming before criminal justice systems\, the operations of formal and community-based justice systems\, alternative models of resolution\, and innovations in justice. Dr Bolitho conducted important research into youth justice conferences in the early years of the implementation of the Young Offenders Act. \nFurther panelists will be announced at a later date. \n—————————- \nWednesday 5 April 2023\nTime: 5.30-7pm\, with drinks and canapes to follow\nLocation: The University of Sydney\, Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown\nCost: Free\, but registration is essential.

SUMMARY:The Work of the Mental Health Review Tribunal
DESCRIPTION:2022-23 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nThe Work of the Mental Health Review Tribunal\nProfessional Skills\nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nBalancing the competing priorities of offenders with mental health diagnoses\, the community\, and the criminal justice system more broadly\, is complicated. At the intersection of those interests sits the Mental Health Review Tribunal. The Tribunal endeavours to acknowledge and respect the dignity\, autonomy\, diversity and individuality of those whose matters it hears and determines. But how are these outcomes achieved? What are the characteristics of those best-practice features in a rapidly developing criminal justice system? – especially as it grapples with growing rates of mental illness and more complex mental health questions. District Court Judge and President of the Mental Health Review Tribunal Paul Lakatos SC considers these questions\, as well as the balancing of priorities between the criminal justice system and the health system as a point of focus that is rapidly taking on greater importance and\, indeed\, engaging more resources. This presentation will assist legal practitioners practising criminal law with an interest in mental health\, as well as those practitioners with a lived experience of mental health. \nPresenter \nJudge Paul Lakatos SC commenced his professional career working as a solicitor for the Aboriginal Legal Service in 1977. He continued his work in the Sydney metropolitan area representing indigent clients with the Public Solicitor’s Office from 1978. In 1982 Judge Lakatos SC led a team of investigators including the AFP\, ATO investigators and forensic accountants\, investigating bottom of the harbour tax schemes at the Special Prosecutors Office. In 1984 he was admitted as a Barrister\, practising in Criminal Law; Administrative Law; Appellate Law; Coronial inquiries and before ICAC and the Police Integrity Commission – and as counsel assisting ICAC and the State Coroner. In 2005\, Judge Lakatos was appointed as senior counsel and\, in 2008\, was appointed as a Judge of the District Court of NSW. Judge Paul Lakatos SC commenced as the President of the Mental Health Review Tribunal in 2019\, where he oversees its functions. He also sits on Tribunal hearings in both forensic and civil jurisdictions. Most recently\, he was appointed an ICAC Commissioner. This appointment will take effect in mid-September 2022. \n\n\nRegistration\nFull series (7 webinars) = $300\nIndividual webinar(s) = $50 \n\nCLICK HERE to register \nThis webinar will be released on 9 March 2023.\n \nYou will receive a webinar link on this date\, and can also register at a later date to catch up in your own time.   \n\nAbout the series\nThe 2022-23 Criminal Law CPD series\, presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology is an innovative educational program made up of 7 recorded webinars delivered by eminent speakers from the University of Sydney and the legal profession. \nA new webinar will be released each month from September 2022 – March 2023.

SUMMARY:Beyond Punishment Seminar: Transforming rehabilitation through digital technology
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Punishment Seminar: Transforming rehabilitation through digital technology\nIn-person event \n\n\nInstitutions of criminal justice are not isolated from broader trends in society – and developments in the application of technologies in prisons have made it important to reconsider the role of digital technologies in rehabilitation. \nWhat is the role of digital technologies in the context of the rehabilitative aim of prisons? What ought it to be? How is this role likely to develop in the future? And what challenges need to be borne in mind when answering these questions? \nThese issues will be the focus of the Beyond Punishment Seminar: Transforming Rehabilitation Through Digital Technology\, which is hosted by the Sydney Institute of Criminology in conjunction with Corrective Services NSW at the Sydney Law School. \nA good first step is to assess the current state of play regarding potentially rehabilitative technologies in prisons. The seminar will examine the roll-out of android tablet devices in NSW prisons and the impacts on family visits\, health services and education of people in prison\, especially since the Covid-19 prison lockdowns\, and it will also examine how the devices can be used to deliver effective programs of rehabilitation. \nHow are tablet devices employed in prison? Do they lead to greater participation in rehabilitation or mean that people in prison socially withdraw? Can android devices address reintegration back into society and minimise issues of digital illiteracy? Is this an initiative that can ultimately decrease re-offending rates? \nTechnologies are never politically neutral and often raise ethical issues that need to be considered\, particularly in the context of criminal justice’s rehabilitative aims and this seminar will aim to consider these ethical issues and to try to answer some of the questions raised above. \n\n\n\n\nOur panel will be moderated by: \nDr Carolyn McKay\, Sydney Institute of Criminology\, Co-Director \nCarolyn is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney Law School where she teaches Criminal Law\, Civil & Criminal Procedure and Digital Criminology. She is Co-Director of the Sydney Institute of Criminology. Carolyn is recognised for her research into technologies in justice\, specifically her empirical research into prisoners’ experiences of accessing justice from a custodial situation by audio visual links\, published in her monograph\, ‘The Pixelated Prisoner: Prison video links\, court ‘appearance’ and the justice matrix‘ (2018). \nPanel Members: \nLuke Grant\, Deputy Commissioner\, Corrections Strategy and Governance\, Corrective Services NSW \nLuke joined Corrective Services NSW in the 1991 and held a number of executive positions prior to his appointment as Assistant Commissioner Inmate Management in 2000. He has worked at the coalface in the areas of inmate classification\, offender rehabilitation programs and services and inmate education.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ organising in the new protest environment - book launch and panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Book launch and panel discussion: LGBTQ organising in the new protest environment\nIn-person event \nThe use of public space for recreation and protest remains hotly contested\, as reactions to anti-protest legislation in NSW and other Australian jurisdictions show. 2023 marks a decade since a case of police excessive force at the 2013 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras went viral on YouTube. That case marked a watershed moment in police-LGBTQ community relations in NSW\, and was part of a global awakening about the power of bystander video distributed through social media. \nDr Justin Ellis’ 2021 monograph Policing Legitimacy: Social media\, scandal and sexual citizenship critically engages with that case and considers the relationship between digital media\, LGBTQ identity-based rights claims and police accountability. This book launch and panel discussion provides a timely opportunity to consider how LGBTQ individuals and communities will organise in the face of increased penalties for peaceful public protest in NSW\, and unease about police use of platform biometrics and related issues of privacy and consent. The launch of Dr Ellis’ monograph will be followed by a discussion on these issues chaired by Institute of Criminology co-director Dr Carolyn McKay\, and between Professor Kane Race\, Dr Justin Ellis and Mr Josh Pallas – president of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties. Please join us for this timely and important discussion. \nAbout the author \nDr Justin Ellis is a senior lecturer in criminology at the Newcastle Law School and the editor-in-chief of Current Issues in Criminal Justice\, the journal of the Institute of Criminology at the Sydney Law School. His research examines the relationship between digital media technologies\, institutional trust and politically vulnerable populations\, LGBTQ in particular. His scholarship on these issues is regularly published in high-ranking internationally peer-reviewed journals and in media commentary. \n>>>>>>>>>>>> \nTuesday 28 February 2023\, 6pm (AEDT)\nVenue: University of Sydney\, Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThis event is presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology at Sydney Law School. \n

SUMMARY:Myths\, Misconceptions and Mixed Messages: An Early Look at the New Tendency and Coincidence Evidence Provisions
DESCRIPTION:2022-23 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nMyths\, Misconceptions and Mixed Messages: An Early Look at the New Tendency and Coincidence Evidence Provisions\nSubstantive Law\nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nFollowing the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse\, Uniform Evidence Law jurisdictions are implementing reforms to the tendency and coincidence evidence provisions. These reforms aim to relax the exclusionary rules so that the prosecution can more readily rely upon other allegations against the defendant and the defendant’s prior guilty pleas. The reforms purport to address the traditional misconception that such evidence would lack probative value unless the defendant’s other misconduct shares distinctive similarities with the charged offence. The reforms can be expected to increase the rate of successful prosecutions. However\, these benefits are likely to be compromised by the reforms’ unnecessary complexity. Rather than improve understanding of the inferential value of other misconduct evidence\, the reforms may sow confusion\, wasting court resources\, and creating associated costs for complainants\, defendants\, and other participants. \nThis seminar will follow the argument presented in Professor Hamer’s article of the same title\, which appeared in (2021) 45(4) Criminal Law Journal 232. \nPresenter \nDavid Hamer is a Professor at the University of Sydney Law School. He is interested in the way criminal courts deal with evidence in determining whether to convict or acquit defendants. While often focusing on the detail of evidence law and criminal procedure\, he takes an interdisciplinary approach. David’s research has regard to both the psychology and the logic of proof and draws on empirical research and formal probabilistic models. Further\, his work explores how the pursuit of factual accuracy is affected by other sometimes competing concerns: efficiency\, fairness\, and the overarching need to provide a mechanism for settling disputes that retains public acceptance. \n\n\nRegistration\nFull series (7 webinars) = $300\nIndividual webinar(s) = $50 \n\nCLICK HERE to register \nThis webinar will be released on 19 January 2023.\n \nYou will receive a webinar link on this date\, and can also register at a later date to catch up in your own time.   \n\nAbout the series\nThe 2022-23 Criminal Law CPD series\, presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology is an innovative educational program made up of 7 recorded webinars delivered by eminent speakers from the University of Sydney and the legal profession. \nA new webinar will be released each month from September 2022 – March 2023.

SUMMARY:Ethical Practice for Junior Criminal Law Barristers
DESCRIPTION:2022-23 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nEthical Practice for Junior Criminal Law Barristers\nEthics and Professional Responsibility\nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nComing to the Bar is a significant step in the career of any lawyer. For junior counsel intending to practise in criminal law\, the ethical and moral obligations are significant. Factors like direct briefs\, invoicing\, barristers’ rules\, duty to the court and professional conduct are all matters you are required to manage on your own. This is often a shift for those that have practised under the guidance of a principal or in government agencies. This presentation will examine that transition to the NSW Bar\, considering the viewpoints and perspectives of junior counsel. It will animate some of the best-practice features of maintaining an ethical and professional practice\, and ways that that model of practice can be leveraged to ensure success.

SUMMARY:The Reliability and Credibility of Eyewitnesses
DESCRIPTION:2022-23 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nThe Reliability and Credibility of Eyewitnesses\nSubstantive Law \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nEyewitness testimony can provide critical leads in investigations and can be extremely persuasive in court. However\, inconsistencies or inaccuracies in eyewitness accounts can undermine the perceived credibility of the witness and the value of the evidence. This is particularly problematic when witnesses are required to recall details of events that happened months or years earlier and that occurred over a number of episodes (such as bullying or domestic violence). \nThis seminar will look at the different stages of memory and highlight various factors that can affect the accuracy of memory at each stage and will outline best-practice techniques for eliciting the most complete and accurate testimonies from eyewitnesses. This seminar will assist legal practitioners to understand the strengths and limitations of human memory. \nPresenter \nHelen Paterson is an Associate Professor in Forensic Psychology at the University of Sydney. She has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia and a PhD from the University of New South Wales. Her primary research interest focuses on the effects of traumatic events on memory and psychological well-being. She regularly works with industry partners to conduct high-quality applied research. She has also worked with NSW Fire and Rescue on ways to train firefighters to make effective decisions under stressful conditions and on post-traumatic stress disorder\, resilience\, and post-incident debriefing. \n\n\nRegistration\nFull series (7 webinars) = $300\nIndividual webinar(s) = $50 \n\nCLICK HERE to register \nThis webinar will be released on 24 November 2022.\n \nYou will receive a webinar link on this date\, and can also register at a later date to catch up in your own time.   \n\nAbout the series\nThe 2022-23 Criminal Law CPD series\, presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology is an innovative educational program made up of 7 recorded webinars delivered by eminent speakers from the University of Sydney and the legal profession. \nA new webinar will be released each month from September 2022 – March 2023.

SUMMARY:Theoretical Advances and Problems in the Sociology of Punishment
DESCRIPTION:Theoretical Advances and Problems in the Sociology of Punishment\nIn-person event \nThis seminar\, delivered by Sydney Law School visiting Fellow\, Professor David Garland (New York University) explores the theoretical advances and problems in the sociology of punishment. \nThe last twenty years have seen a remarkable increase in “punishment and society” scholarship. Together with this quantitative expansion\, there have also been important qualitative developments in research\, analysis and explanation – many of which can be counted as scientific advances. \nIn this talk\, Professor Garland will describe a number of dimensions along which theory\, method and data in this field have been improved and also identify a number of continuing challenges and problems. Examples from the American literature on the emergence of mass incarceration and the nature of the ‘war on drugs’ are used to indicate the range of theoretical resources that scholars in this field have developed and to point to empirical and theoretical questions that remain to be resolved. \nAbout the speaker \nDavid Garland is Arthur T Vanderbilt Professor of Law and Professor of Sociology at New York University. His distinguished body of work includes Punishment and Welfare: A History of Penal Strategies; Punishment and Modern Society: A Study in Social Theory ; The Culture of Control: Crime and Social Order in Contemporary Society ; Peculiar Institution: America’s Death Penalty in an Age of Abolition ; and The Welfare State: A Very Short Introduction. \nHis many honours include membership of the British Academy\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh\, and receipt of the American Society of Criminology’s Edwin H. Sutherland Prize for outstanding contributions to theory and research. \nHe is currently at work on a book entitled Roots of Injustice: The Structural Sources of America’s Penal State. He is a Visiting Fellow at University of Sydney School of Law in October/November 2022. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nTuesday 1 November\nTime: 6-7.30 pm\, followed by a cocktail reception\nVenue: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney \nCPD points = 1.5 \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \n\n\nPresented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:The Role of the Crown Prosecutor in NSW
DESCRIPTION:2022-23 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nThe Role of the Crown Prosecutor in NSW\nPractice management\, Business Skills & Professional Responsibility \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nThe principal functions of the NSW Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) are to institute and conduct prosecutions for indictable offences in the Local\, District and Supreme Courts; and to conduct appeals in any court arising from those prosecutions\, including as the responding party. Those duties are guided by the ODPP Prosecution and other best-practice instruments. The role of a prosecutor is crucial\, involving a balancing of the interests of the state\, community and victims\, as well as a duty to the court. In a system subject to growing case numbers\, increasingly regulated pre-trial processes\, plea negotiations\, and broad discretion\, how are those priorities managed? Crown Prosecutor Brett Hatfield will consider those competing priorities and how they are balanced in practice. \nPresenter \nBrett Hatfield\, Crown Prosecutor\, The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (NSW) \n  \n\n\n\nRegistration\nFull series (7 webinars) = $300\nIndividual webinar(s) = $50 \n\nCLICK HERE to register \nThis webinar will be released on 20 October 2022.\n \nYou will receive a webinar link on this date\, and can also register at a later date to catch up in your own time.   \n\nAbout the series\nThe 2022-23 Criminal Law CPD series\, presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology is an innovative educational program made up of 7 recorded webinars delivered by eminent speakers from the University of Sydney and the legal profession. \nA new webinar will be released each month from September 2022 – March 2023.

SUMMARY:Should Deceptive Sex Always Be Rape
DESCRIPTION:2022-23 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nShould Deceptive Sex Always Be Rape?\nSubstantive Law\nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nIt is common for people to deceive other people into engaging in sexual activity with them. But there is sharp division about whether all such deceitful people should be convicted of a sexual offence and\, if all or some of them should\, of which offences they should be convicted. \nThis seminar defends the view that\, whenever an accused person uses deception to induce another person to engage in sexual activity with her or him\, s/he has has knowingly engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with that person. Accordingly\, such accused should generally be convicted of non-consensual sexual offending. But it will also be argued that there are exceptions to this. The person who induces her spouse to engage in sex by fraudulently telling him that she is not having an affair; the Jew who induces a Nazi to participate by telling her that she is not Jewish; the person who procures ‘consent’ by falsely stating that he is unmarried\, or that he is wealthier than he is; the person who causes a person to ‘consent’ by lying about her biological sex at birth\, or by failing to disclose an HIV infection that he presents no real risk of transmitting — none of them should be held criminally liable. For while\, in each of these cases\, there is no consent\, the law cannot provide absolute protection to sexual autonomy. \nConsideration will be given to recent non-consensual sexual offence law reform in New South Wales (‘NSW’) and Queensland. It will be argued that\, while the NSW approach to deceptive sex is better than the prevailing Queensland approach\, it is deficient in certain respects. \nPresenter \nDr Andrew Dyer is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney Law School\, having been appointed the inaugural Colin Phegan Lecturer in Legal Reasoning in 2014. A graduate of Sydney Law School and the London School of Economics\, Andrew began his working career not as a lawyer\, but in television\, acting in and writing for various sketch comedy shows. He then worked at a large commercial law firm; as tipstaff to a judge of the NSW Court of Appeal; and\, immediately before coming to Sydney Law School as a sessional lecturer in 2010\, as a Researcher at the Judicial Commission of NSW. \n\n\n\nRegistration\nFull series (7 webinars) = $300\nIndividual webinar(s) = $50 \n\nCLICK HERE to register \nThis webinar will be released on 29 September 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the series\nThe 2022-23 Criminal Law CPD series\, presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology is an innovative educational program made up of 7 recorded webinars delivered by eminent speakers from the University of Sydney and the legal profession. \nA new webinar will be released each month from September 2022 – March 2023.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Gender and International Criminal Law
DESCRIPTION:Book launch: Gender and International Criminal Law\nSydney Centre for International Law is excited to host a panel on the new book ‘Gender and International Criminal Law‘ (Oxford University Press 2022)\, edited by Indira Rosenthal\, Valerie Oosterveld\, and Susana SáCouto. \nIn this panel\, participants will hear from some of the book’s Australian authors and participate in a live ‘question and answer’ session. \nChaired by transitional justice expert Rachel Killean (Sydney Law School)\, the panel will feature presentations from: \n• Indira Rosenthal (University of Tasmania) on ‘Gender and International Criminal Law’; \n•  Professor Valerie Oosterveld (Western Law\, Canada) on gender-based persecution; \n• Melanie O’Brien (University of Western Australia) on ‘Forced marriage’; \n• Jonathan O’Donohue (University of New South Wales) on ‘Gender inclusive reparations’; \n• Rosemary Grey (Sydney Law School) on ‘Forced pregnancy and other reproductive crimes’ and \n• Dianne Otto (University of Melbourne) on “Is international criminal law particularly impervious to feminist reconstruction?”. \n  \nWednesday 7 September 2022\, 12:00 to 1.30pm (AEST)\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School. Please indicate your viewing preference when registering. \n——————- \nAbout the book\nGender and International Criminal Law \nThe last few decades have seen remarkable developments in international criminal justice\, especially in relation to the pursuit of individuals responsible for sexual violence and other gender-based crimes. \nHistorically ignored\, justified\, or minimised\, this category of crimes now has a heightened profile in the international political and judicial arena. Despite this\, gender is poorly understood\, and blind spots\, biases\, and stereotypes prevail. \nResponding to that challenge\, this book brings together leading feminist international criminal and humanitarian law academics and practitioners to examine the place of gender in international criminal law (ICL). \nThe book \n\nProvides an in-depth examination of how gender is perceived and analysed in international criminal law\nOffers recommendations for how gender\, including sexual violence and other gender-based crimes\, can be more meaningfully addressed by international courts and tribunals\nIdentifies key gaps in the understanding of gender within international criminal law\n\nOrder online with code ALAUTHC4 to save 30%. \n——————- \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is hosted by the Sydney Centre for International Law  at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:2022 Paul Byrne Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:2022 Paul Byrne Memorial Lecture: They’re all good cases: Paul Byrne SC\nDelivered by Justice Peter Hamill\nPaul Byrne was one of Justice Peter Hamill’s most important mentors. His Honour thought he would use the opportunity\, at what would have been\, but for Covid\, the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Paul Byrne SC Memorial Lecture\, to speak about the man himself. \nJustice Hamill will speak about the contributions Paul made to the law though his work at all levels of the criminal justice system\, his quirks and eccentricities\, his passions\, and his approach to the art of persuasion. \nThe lecture will be a personal and professional memoir of a man who so many people loved and admired. \nIt will cover some of Paul’s triumphs in the High Court on critical issues in the criminal law like identification evidence (Domican)\, the prosecutor’s duty of disclosure (in Grey)\, relevance (in Mundarra Smith)\, judicial and apprehended bias (in Antoun) and obtaining special leave where a point was not taken in the courts below (Crampton). \nJustice Hamill will also share some of Paul Byrne’s wisdom about court craft and advocacy\, the benefits of courtesy\, aspects of cross-examination and “reading the room”\, that is the Court room. The lecture may meander into more esoteric subjects such why expert witnesses should not wear bow ties and Paul’s unique approach to financial investment. There may be some discussion of racing cars. \nHis Honour hopes his speech will be both educational and entertaining\, but mainly hopes to share some stories about one of Australia’s finest criminal defence lawyers. \nAbout the speaker\nJustice Peter Hamill was sworn in as a judge of the Supreme Court in April 2014. His Honour began his legal career as a clerk in the Court of Petty Sessions and achieved his legal qualifications by studying part time for the Barristers’ Admission Board examinations. His Honour worked as Justice Mary Gaudron’s Associate in the High Court before commencing practice at the Bar in 1988. \nHe was a renowned criminal barrister and founding member of Forbes Chambers where he practised for over 25 years\, taking silk in 2004.

SUMMARY:Pandemic Policing: Sydney Institute of Criminology panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Pandemic Policing: Sydney Institute of Criminology panel discussion\nTHIS EVENT IS BEING HELD ONLINE AND IN-PERSON AT SYDNEY LAW SCHOOL \nWith the World Health Organisation’s declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020\, emergency health orders were introduced to contain the spreading contagion. Central to this aim was the restriction of social movement and gatherings enforced via new criminal offences and expanded police powers. \nAt the same time\, assumed civil rights\, such as freedom of movement\, eroded with state-sanctioned lockdowns of borders\, places of work\, study and socialisation as well as targeted communities. \nOpposition developed initially in relation to the lockdowns\, morphing into anti-vax/anti-mask protests that has seen the increasing influence of conspiracy theorists\, right-wing extremists and sovereign citizens. \nThis panel of diverse experts examines the complexities of policing a pandemic in a democratic society. \nHost: Dr Carolyn McKay\, Co-Director\, Sydney Institute of Criminology \nChairperson: Dr Louise Boon-Kuo\, Sydney Law School \nInvited guest speakers: \n\nDr Tessa Boyd-Caine\, CEO\, Health Justice Australia\nAssociate Professor Julian Droogan\, Macquarie University\, Department of Security Studies and Criminology\nAssociate Professor Greg Martin\, University of Sydney\, School of Social and Political Sciences\nJane Sanders\, Principal Solicitor\, The Shopfront Youth Legal Centre\nMick Willing\, former Deputy Commissioner NSW Police\n\n  \nWEDNESDAY 18 MAY 2022\nTime: 6.30-8pm AEST \nThis event is being held online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Neurotechnology\, Criminal Law and Human Rights: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Neurotechnology\, Criminal Law and Human Rights: Interdisciplinary Perspectives\nWhat kind of human rights challenges might emerge from neurotechnology and how might these challenges play out in criminal justice? This event will address these questions. \nInvestment from companies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink\, Facebook and a host of others gives reason to take seriously the possibility that neurotechnologies\, such as brain-computer interfaces\, may soon be more widely available in society. Recently\, Chile has become a world-leader in responding to possible human rights implications of more widespread use of technologies that interact with the brain\, and has now changed its constitution in order to address emerging challenges. \nWhether one imagines people committing crimes by way of brain-computer interface\, or the employment by the state of technologies that monitor brains\, or even intervene on them to reduce the risk of a person offending\, it seems reasonable to expect that there will be a criminal justice dimension to neurotechnology. \nBut should governments monitor brains? Should they use a neurotechnological means to address crime? There are obvious human rights implications concerning such hypothetical scenarios. Given the possibility that\, at some point\, the uptake of neurotechnologies might start to accelerate\, it seems prudent to envisage some of the issues that might emerge now\, rather than waiting until technology is entrenched in a way that is undesirable. \nWith this in mind\, scholars and policymakers from around the world are starting to consider the human rights implications of neurotechnology. While considering some general issues relating to neurotechnology and human rights\, this event will also examine the technology with a somewhat more specific aim in mind and ask what human rights implications it may have for criminal justice. \nThe consideration of such issues requires scholars from a variety of backgrounds including science and technology\, and philosophy\, as well as law and we look forward to investigating the issues with the below-mentioned speakers and others. \nThe audience we expect is similarly diverse and we invite scholars from a variety of backgrounds\, legal practitioners\, scientists\, technologists\, policymakers\, and others who wish to consider the themes that will be discussed. \nThe conference is free to register and takes place via Zoom. \nSpeakers and discussants\n\nSusie Alegre\, Associate\, Doughty Street Chambers and Visiting Fellow at University of Roehampton\nTugba Basaran Akmazoglu\, Faculty of Law\, University of Ottawa\nJennifer Chandler\, Faculty of Law\, University of Ottawa\nLisa Claydon\, The Open University Law School\nJared Genser\, Perseus Strategies and Neurorights Foundation\nWalter Glannon\, Department of Philosophy\, University of Calgary\nSara Goering\, Department of Philosophy\, University of Washington\nStephanie Herrmann\, Perseus Strategies\nMarcello Ienca\, ETH Zurich and Intelligent Systems Ethics Unit\, College of Humanities\, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL)\nFabrice Jotterand\, Medical College of Wisconsin and Institute for Biomedical Ethics at the University of Basel\nSjors Ligthart\, Tilburg Law School\, Tilburg University and Utrecht University\nAllan McCay\, Sydney Law School\nFruzsina Molnár-Gábor\, Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities\nHelen Paterson\, Sydney Institute of Criminology and Faculty of Science\, University of Sydney\nRafael Yuste\, NeuroTechnology Center\, Columbia University and Neurorights Foundation\n\n  \n> \n(PDF 249kb. Updated as at 3 December 2021) \n  \nTuesday 14 December 2021\, 8.50am-8pm AEDT (Sydney time) \nPlease note that the conference start and end time caters to the time zones of our speakers in North America and Europe.

SUMMARY:Non-consensual sexual offence law reform in Western Australia
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nNon-consensual sexual offence law reform in Western Australia\nSubstantive Law\nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nThe Attorney-General of Western Australia has asked that State’s Law Reform Commission to review Western Australia’s sexual offence laws. On 23 December 2022\, the Commission published a Discussion Paper that deals with\, among other things\, the law relating to sexual consent and the operation of honest and reasonable mistake of fact in non-consensual sexual offence proceedings. This seminar will consider the various reform options. It will particularly focus on how the law should define ‘consent’; vitiating circumstances such as mistakes and threats; and the circumstances in which the honest and reasonable mistake of fact excuse should be available to a person accused of non-consensual sexual offending. There will be some discussion of recent law reform activity in this area in other Australian jurisdictions – most notably\, New South Wales\, Queensland and Victoria. \nPresenter \nDr Andrew Dyer is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney Law School and has been a Director of the Sydney Institute of Criminology since 1 January 2021. His research concerns criminal law and human rights law and the relationship between them. \n\n\nThis webinar will be released on Thursday 27 April\, 2023. \nFind out more about the series.

SUMMARY:Digital vulnerability: Vulnerable individuals and remote access technologies in justice
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nDigital vulnerability: Vulnerable individuals and remote access technologies in justice\nEthics & professional responsibility\nProfessional skills\nPractice Management \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nThis seminar will focus on the use of remote access technologies\, such as audiovisual links\, when working with vulnerable individuals in the justice system\, and the developing concept of ‘digital vulnerability’. The seminar will draw on Dr McKay’s current Australian Research Council (‘ARC’) funded research and examine the multiple layers of vulnerability that individuals may experience while involved in legal matters. It will present preliminary findings from initial fieldwork interviews with lawyers and judicial officers that reveal critical perspectives on the impacts of digitalisation on vulnerable people in the justice system. While the research project and findings centre on the criminal justice system\, many of the issues are equally relevant to legal practitioners working with vulnerable people in civil matters. \nPresenter \nDr Carolyn McKay is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney Law School where she teaches Criminal Law\, Civil & Criminal Procedure and Digital Criminology. She is CoDirector of the Sydney Institute of Criminology. \nCarolyn is recognised for her research into technologies in justice\, specifically her empirical research into prisoners’ experiences of accessing justice from a custodial situation by audio visual links\, published in her monograph\,The Pixelated Prisoner: Prison video links\, court ‘appearance’ and the justice matrix (2018) Routledge. During the period July 2021 – June 2024\, Carolyn will undertake her ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) ‘The Digital Criminal Justice Project: Vulnerability and the Digital Subject’. \nCarolyn serves on the NSW Bar Association Innovation & Technology Committee and served on the 2019 NSW Law Society Legal Technologies Committee. She has been a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies\, University of Oxford 2019 and for 3 months at the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law\, Spain 2013-14. Carolyn has previously consulted on anti-dumping trade disputes and indirect taxation\, working in both Sydney and Tokyo\, and she also has a digital media/visual arts practice. \n\n\nThis webinar will be released on Thursday 29 June\, 2023. \nFind out more about the series.
