SUMMARY:Self-represented Accused and Appellants in the Criminal Justice System and a Prosecutor's Duty
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series: Self-represented Accused and Appellants in the Criminal Justice System and a Prosecutor’s Duty\n  \nEthics & Professional Responsibility\nProfessional Skills \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nSelf-represented accused and appellants often add complexity and time to court proceedings. Prosecutors have a unique role in matters involving such persons\, as they must balance their duty to the Court and their responsibilities to the ODPP. On one hand\, the prosecutor must act on behalf of the State and related stakeholders (e.g. victims\, police) and\, on the other\, they must assist the Court to ensure that justice is effected quickly. This seminar will consider such issues as: what a self-represented actually is; the arrangements that are made for self-represented litigants in the criminal justice system; relevant prosecution guidelines; practical issues that arise concerning self-represented litigants; balancing prosecutorial duties with the duty to assist the Court; and case law that bears on such issues. \nPresenters \nFelicity Evans is a Solicitor with the NSW ODPP\, based at Parramatta. Felicity has significant experience in District Court appeals involving self-represented litigants and holds a JD from UNSW and an LLM in Global Laws from the University of Sydney. \n\n\nA recording of this webinar will be released on Thursday\, 23 November 2023. \nFind out more about the series.

SUMMARY:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes
DESCRIPTION:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nThe XII Amendment to Criminal Law of P.R.C adopted by the Standing Committee of People’s Congress on 29 December 2023 is guided by two principles. One is to enhance protection for private enterprises and the other is to punish offering bribes and accepting bribes equally. The reason that accepting bribes\, which has been punished ever since the foundation of P.R.C\, is stressed now is of course the serious situation of bribery. Meanwhile\, although the logic behind this is acceptable\, whether legislative purpose can be realized to a high degree depends on judicial efforts. \nJudging from typical cases and relative statistics\, I believe four principles should be observed in terms of criminal law. In the first place\, different approaches should be taken to deal with offering bribes committed by organizations and individuals. Compliance model might be a choice. Secondly\, crime and civil or administrative violation should be carefully differentiated to prevent criminal punishments from leading to undue harms. Thirdly\, the question whether public authorities can be charged with offering or accepting bribes should be answered in specific context. Finally\, more flexible systems\, such as disqualification and corporate probation\, should be considered. \nSpeaker \nProfessor Zhenjie Zhou\, Vice Dean\, Beijing Normal University School of Law\, China \nZhenjie Zhou\, Professor and Doctor of Law.
