SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence in constitutional courts
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence in constitutional courts\nIn-person event\nIn Judgment SU-151/2020 the Constitutional Court of Colombia rendered its decision on a constitutional complaint of a group of journalists. They claim that in certain criminal cases concerning possible corruption by government officials\, prosecutors and judges were unsatisfyingly prohibiting the press to attend public criminal law hearings. The petitioners claimed that judges and prosecutors use to limit the constitutional right to free press outside of those exceptions and by means of disproportionate decisions. \nThe Court made an open call to journalists\, prosecutors\, judges\, and other interested parties to send short videos or writings with relevant information or their views concerning the issue at hand. The Court received 37 videos and writings. All materials were posted online\, and people wrote comments on them. The Court was able to process those materials\, which reveal that there was indeed and unconstitutional practice. However\, the Court could have never processed that information\, had it received hundreds or thousands of pieces of information. \nThis example illustrates how crowdsourcing can assist constitutional courts to overcome their epistemic deficiencies for solving constitutional cases. Those deficiencies can relate to factual or normative matters. Nevertheless\, this advantage does not come without risks. Judicial crowdsourcing can be meaningless if it is misused as a mechanism of democratic window-dressing. This risk instantiates if\, as it may happen with other mechanisms of digital democracy\, it is entirely shaped and controlled by representatives of â€œexisting entrenched social and economic interestsâ€ or if constitutional procedural laws include an empowerment for judges to disregard or supersede outcomes of crowdsourcing processes without justification. Furthermore\, power brokers can manipulate crowdsourcing mechanisms. Additionally\, judicial crowdsourcing can be trivialized if citizens’ suggestions do not elicit deliberation among judges and remain only as an expression lacking any kind of impact. Finally\, constitutional courts can use artificial intelligence to analyse big amounts of information that stake-holders submit in the crowdsourcing process. The use of artificial intelligence for those purposes also raises specific concerns of algocratia\, opacity\, and algorithmic discrimination. \nWithin the context\, the aim of this presentation is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the use of crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence by Constitutional Courts in complex cases of constitutional adjudication. \nAbout the speaker:\nCarlos Bernal \nCarlos Bernal is Commissioner of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission. He is professor of law at the University of Dayton (Ohio\, USA) and Macquarie University (Sydney\, Australia). Between 2017 and 2020\, he was Justice at the Colombian Constitutional Court. His qualifications include a LL.B. from the University Externado of Colombia (BogotÃ¡ – Colombia) (1996)\, a S.J.D. from the University of Salamanca (Spain) (2001)\, and a M.A. (2008) and a Ph.D. in Philosophy (2011) from the University of Florida (U.S.A). \nProf. Bernal’s research focuses on constitutional rights’ interpretation\, comparative constitutional change\, general jurisprudence -in particular\, on the intersection between social ontology and legal theory-\, and the philosophical foundations of tort law. His work has been published in high-ranked peer-reviewed journals\, books and edited collections in English\, Spanish\, German\, Italian\, French\, Portuguese\, and Russian. \n  \nTuesday 23 May 2023\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nVenue:Â Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points:Â 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by theÂ Julius Stone Institute of JurisprudenceÂ at The University of Sydney Law School.Â

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: The life of international law is not logic but experience
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: The life of international law is not logic but experience\nIn-person event\n  \nU.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously maintained that â€œthe life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience.â€ Holmes statement suggests an antecedent question: what is the life of the law? This essay construes this question ontologically. What gives law life? What animates it\, and in so doing warrants the claim that law contributes to the production of social order in a particular community? \nThe answer\, I contend\, is that law lives\, or exists\, only in those societies where law rules\, and law rules only when the exercise of political power is conducted under the supervision of lawyers\, agents for whom realizing the rule of law is a calling or vocation. Perhaps surprisingly\, I contend that the most prominent proponent of this account of law in the field of international law and legal theory is Martti Koskenniemi. While he generally eschews talk of government in accordance with the rule of law in favor of â€œa culture of formalismâ€ and â€œconstitutionalism as a mindset\,â€ I demonstrate that Koskenniemi defends the same conception of law that Lon Fuller and Ronald Dworkin do. This conception identifies law not with rules or institutions but with a particular approach to the exercise of political power\, one premised on actors reciprocal regard for one another as autonomous and responsible agents. \nRead the paper here. \nAbout the speaker:\nDavid Lefkowitz \nDavid Lefkowitz is Professor of Philosophy and the founding Coordinator of the Program in Philosophy\, Politics\, Economics\, and Law (PPEL) at the University of Richmond (US). His scholarship focuses largely on conceptual and normative questions in international law\, and the morality of obedience and disobedience to law. He is the author of Philosophy and International Law: A Critical Introduction (CUP 2020)\, as well as more than forty journal articles and book chapters. Lefkowitz has held research fellowships at Princeton University\, the U.S. Naval Academy\, and National University of Singapore\, and served as a visiting research scholar at Pompeu Fabra University. \n  \nThursday 11 May 2023\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nVenue:Â Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points:Â 1.5 \n  \nThis event is co-hosted by theÂ Julius Stone Institute of JurisprudenceÂ and theÂ Sydney Centre for International LawÂ at The University of Sydney Law School.Â

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Politics all the way down? A qualified defence of critical legal theory
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Politics all the way down? A qualified defence of critical legal theory\nIn-person event\n  \nIn this talk\, Dr Ntina Tzouvala sets out to defend the potential for legal theory of what Edward Said called â€˜contrapuntal reading’\, Louis Althusser (drawing from Jacques Lacan) described as â€˜symptomatic read-ing’\, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick denounced as â€˜paranoid reading’. Albeit different in their origins and orientation\, all three approaches demand that we take law seriously\, but not literally. They suggest that legal texts neither are nor can be made complete and coherent and they presume that nobody is in full control of those text\, perhaps least of all their authors. \nDr Tzouvala argues that this â€˜hermeneutics of suspicion’ (Ricoeur\, 1970) establishes the specificity of (critical) legal theory as opposed to both doctrinal work that strives for consistency and to a particular form of legal history and legal biography that place the conscious plans\, desires and ideas of the individual subject at the centre of the law. Importantly\, this approach does not simply defer to ‘politics’ for the validity for its arguments but posits that symptomatic reading is the only way to establish rigorous knowledge of the law as an autonomous subject. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr Ntina Tzouvala \nDr Ntina Tzouvala’s work focuses on the political economy\, history and theory of international law. She is especially interested in historical materialism\, deconstruction\, feminist and queer legal theory. Her first monograph\,Â Capitalism as Civilisation: A History of International Law\,Â was published by Cambridge University Press in late 2020. Her book was awarded the 2022 ASIL Certificate of Merit for a preeminent contribution to creative scholarship and the Australian Legal Research Award (ALRA) in the book category. In addition\, it was shortlisted for the Deutscher Prize and was awarded a honourable mention in the context of the 2021 Sussex Prize in International Theory. Her work has also appeared in leading journals\, including the European Journal of International Law\, the Leiden Journal of International Law and the Journal of International Economic Law. \nBetween 2019 and 2021 Ntina was a founding member of the editorial collective of the Third World Approaches to International Law Review. In early 2020\, she was appointed Senior Advisor to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. \n\nThursday 20 April 2023\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEDT\nVenue:Â Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \n  \nCPD Points:Â 1.5 \n  \nThis event is co-hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence and the Sydney Centre for International Law at The University of Sydney Law School.Â

SUMMARY:Julius Stone Address: The Legal Experience of Injustice
DESCRIPTION:Julius Stone Address: The Legal Experience of Injustice\nIn-person event \nInÂ The Faces of Injustice\, Judith Shklar criticizes the â€˜normal model’ of justice which views injustice as â€˜a prelude to or a rejection and breakdown of justice\, as if injustice were a surprising abnormality’. Her central insight is that â€˜the real realm of injustice â€¦ does not stand outside of the gates of even the best known of states. Most injustices occur continuously within the framework of an established polity with an operative system of law in normal times.’ She also offers a second\, Hobbesian insight: â€˜[w]ithout juridical institutions and the beliefs that support them\, there can be no decent\, just\, or stable social relations\, but only anxiety\, mutual mistrust\, and insecurity’. Since juridical institutions and the beliefs that support them may be necessary for justice\, but insufficient to prevent injustice\, the insights are perfectly consistent as a matter of abstract logic. \nMy question is consistency as a matter of a different logic\, the logic of legal experience for those in the â€˜jural community’\, the community of persons subject to law. I argue that such experience shows that certain kinds of injustice are inconsistent with an operative system of law since they create tensions within the jural community that it must resolve to remain operative. I rely on two of Shklar’s examples\, the Nazi state and slavery in USA\, and two she did not mention\, the apartheid state and the â€˜parallel state’ of Israel and the Occupied Territories\, to show how systems of law offer a legal resource that makes resistance to certain kinds of injustice possible and thus the practice of human rights lawyering. However\, at the same time we see that all involved in maintaining an operative system of law\, including human rights lawyers and their clients\, participate in legitimizing the system. Here I suggest that Shklar underestimated the ability of the legal theories of three important exemplars of the normal model of justice\, H.L.A. Hart\, Lon Fuller and Ronald Dworkin\, to illuminate different aspects of the experience of injustice. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 8 December\, 6-7.30pm\nCPD points =1.5 \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor David Dyzenhaus \nDavid Dyzenhaus is a professor of Law and Philosophy at the University of Toronto\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Lawmativity
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Lawmativity\nHybrid event\n  \nExplaining the normativity of law – how it guides action by giving reasons – is one of the central questions of general jurisprudence. It is also one of the topics on which there is least agreement. In the first half of the talk\, Alex Horne offers a diagnosis as to why. Basically: the desiderata for a genuine and mutually satisfactory solution to the problem of law’s normativity cannot all be satisfied by one theory. In the second half of the talk\, he articulates his partial solution to the problem and explains (i) which desiderata we should abandon and (ii) why the best – and complete – account of law’s normativity is therefore piecemeal. \nAbout the speaker:\nAlex Horne is a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge. He works on various topics in moral psychology\, ethics\, political philosophy\, and jurisprudence. \n\nThursday 24 November 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEDT\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Children\, families\, and immigration enforcement
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Children\, families\, and immigration enforcement\nSpeaker: Associate Professor Matthew Lister\, Bond University \nWhat might otherwise seem like straight-forward instances of immigration enforcement can give rise to both practical and moral complications when the objects of the enforcement measures are children and/or have close family ties to citizens or legal permanent residents. In the case of children\, we may doubt whether they can be held morally responsible for immigration violations and may also face complicated questions about the best interest of the children. \nWhen an otherwise removable non-citizen has close family ties to a citizen or permanent resident\, we may worry that removal will both impose disproportionate harms on the one removed and will also cause unacceptable harms on\, and violate the rights of\, citizens or permanent residents. \nIn this seminar\, Matthew Lister will try to isolate the issues\, both practical and moral\, and look at what sorts of limits they place on otherwise acceptable instances of immigration enforcement. \nAbout the speaker:\nMatthew Lister is an Associate Professor at Bond University. He is a legal and political philosopher as well as a lawyer who works on normative issues relating to immigration and refugee law\, international law\, including international economic law and regulation\, workplace and employment law\, criminal law\, and other issues in jurisprudence and political philosophy. \n  \nThursday 15 September 2022\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Jealousy of trade\, from the Scottish Enlightenment to neoliberalism
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Jealousy of trade\, from the Scottish Enlightenment to neoliberalism\nSpeaker: Associate Professor Jessica Whyte\, UNSW \nIn this talk\, I trace the Scottish Enlightenment debates about what David Hume termed â€œjealousy of tradeâ€â€”that is\, the transformation of international commerce into a political concern of states and a cause of international conflict. I revisit these debates – in a context marked by new trade wars and military conflicts within a highly integrated global economy – in order to propose a new understanding ofÂ neoliberalism. Against the dominant understanding of neoliberalism as primarily an economic ideology\, I argue that early neoliberals (notably Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises) drew from the Scottish Enlightenment to portray market competition as the necessary condition not of economic efficiency but of social and international peace. Against laissez-faire\, they portrayed the market (and peace) as a legal order\, not a natural order. In this vein\, they also pioneered new forms of economic coercion to restrict the options of democratic polities\, and to pacify market societies. \nAbout the speaker:\nJessica Whyte is Scientia Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales with a cross-appointment in the Faculty of Law. Her work integrates political philosophy\, intellectual history and political economy to analyse contemporary forms of sovereignty\, human rights\, humanitarianism and militarism. She is the author ofÂ Catastrophe and Redemption: The Political Thought of Giorgio Agamben\, (SUNY 2013) andÂ The Morals of the Market: Human Rights and the Rise of NeoliberalismÂ (Verso\, 2019). \n  \nThursday 25 August 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: The Conscience of Trust
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: The Conscience of Trust\nSpeaker: Professor Irit Samet\, King’s College London \nAt the heart of the modern trust lies a glaring paradox: how has a legal institution that is repeatedly referred to by the courts as rooted in a duty of conscience become infamous for helping individuals to achieve goals that are patently unconscionable? \nWith every brazen leak of documents from offshore jurisdictions and the ensuing investigation into the financial affairs of the super affluent\, it becomes clear that the trust is now a widely used vehicle for evading duties owed by property owners to creditors\, dependants and the community. A dangerous trend of importing practices and trust structures from offshore jurisdictions to established onshore trust regimes threatens to further accelerate the corrosion in the reputation of the trust. Any comprehensive solution for the acute legitimacy problem faced by the trust must be multi-systemic. \nIn this paper\, I focus on one aspect of it: the normative basis for the trust obligation. Looking at the conceptual edifice that underlies the trustee’s obligations\, the paper argues that what worked for the problems that afflicted traditional trust relationship may not be suitable when facing the challenges of modern trusts. However\, the way in which the concept of â€˜conscience’ functions in this area of the law can be useful for reformers who wish to protect (what is left of) the good name of trusts. In particular\, it can help us build the necessary moral authority for recent judicial interventions that aim to undo the damage of reckless offshore trust forms. I look into the way the courts of equity lift the concept of conscience from moral discourse and what this means for the moral standing of beneficiaries to make claims on the basis of trusts that are designed to create â€˜orphan property’. \nAbout the speaker:\nIrit Samet is a Professor in the Dickson Poon School of Law\, which she joined in 2008. She was previously a Lecturer in Law at Mansfield College\, Oxford (2006-2007)\, and a lecturer at the University of Essex (2008). She read law and philosophy in Israel and completed her doctorate at Oxford. Her main research interests lie in the Law of Equity\, Property Law\, and the theory of private law. She published papers on these subjects in leading journals (like OJLS\, MLR)\, and her book on the theory of Equity Law was published by OUP in 2018. She is a course convener for the undergraduate module of Equity and Trusts\, and teaches philosophy of property law as an option B part of the Jurisprudence course\, and research seminars in property law. \n  \nThursday 18 August 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Flourishing in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Flourishing in the Anthropocene\nSpeaker: Associate Professor Nicole Graham\, Sydney Law School \nProgressive property theory presents a recent corrective to atomistic theories that isolate property interests from the network of relations and obligations arising from the sociality of organised human society. The â€˜social obligation norm’ that underpins progressive property theory stretches back to Aristotle’s philosophy of eudemonia (â€˜human flourishing’ or â€˜living well’) written in the 4th Century BC. But property is not timeless; the world has changed. The rise of global greenhouse gas emissions above pre-industrial levels is rapidly transforming the climate of the planet – presenting an existential crisis on a scale far greater than the individual\, society\, and species. For millennia\, Western theories of property\, including progressive property\, have been dominated by anthropocentric notions of law and land. However\, the concept of community\, central to progressive property theory\, foregrounds and prioritises both materiality and relationality\, making possible a more viable theory of human-earth relations for the 21st Century. The arrival of the Anthropocene calls for a planetary understanding of â€˜community’ that encompasses its disowned human and more-than-human members\, whose labour in Capital’s shadow lands provide the conditions of modern Western proprietorship. â€˜Living well’ through the 21st century will involve reframing social obligation as existential imperative to model a viable property regime. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr Nicole Graham is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Law School. She teaches and researches in the fields of property law and theory\, and legal geography. Nicole has written on the relationship between law\, environment and culture with a particular focus on property rights\, natural resource regulation and the concept of place. \n  \nThursday 11 August 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: American nullification and secession: the case for constitutional flexibility
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: American nullification and secession: the case for constitutional flexibility\nThis event is being held online and in-person at Sydney Law School. \nSpeaker: Professor Kit Wellman\, Washington University in St LouisÂ \nAmericans live in a political marriage arranged by our ancestors. The good news is that the framers of our Constitution were brilliant; the bad news is that things have changed so dramatically since our predecessors planned our political nuptials that prominent legal theorists are now suggesting that we should fundamentally alter\, if not disband\, the Union. The urge to re-evaluate our constitutional order stems in part from the striking cultural and political divisions among contemporary Americans. In light of these cleavages\, legal scholars are revisiting the long-neglected ideas of nullification\, interposition\, and secession. \nIn this essay\, I review recent monographs by Timothy William Waters and F.H. Buckley along with an anthology edited by Sanford Levinson. I am more interested in highlighting the important questions these theorists raise about the constitutionality\, morality\, and advisability of these measures than I am in advancing any particular position. At least two striking conclusions seem warranted\, though. First\, we urgently need social scientific data on the potential costs and benefits\, not only of state-breaking\, but also of institutionally protecting secessionist rights. And second\, given the increasing enthusiasm for the right to secede\, it would be rash to summarily dismiss the more moderate option of nullification. \nSpeaker:\nâ€‹Professor Kit WellmanÂ works in ethics\, specializing in political and legal philosophy. He serves as chair of the education department and is dean of academic planning for Arts & Sciences. \n  \nThursday 30 June 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Primary Duty = Secondary Duty?
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Primary Duty = Secondary Duty?\nThis event is being held online and in-person at Sydney Law School. \nSpeaker: Professor Claudio Michelon\, Edinburgh Law School\nThis paper addresses one of the central questions in the law of torts: what is the relationship between the primary duty and the secondary (or remedial) duty? The two dominant answers to that question (the continuity thesis and the identity thesis) stand in a complex relationship that is not yet fully understood and\, as a result\, the arguments for and against each thesis are muddled. \nThe paper clarifies each thesis\, defends each rival against objections that have been levelled against them and\, at the end\, present reasons why an original version of the continuity thesis offers a better framework within which to understand the relationship between primary and remedial duty. \nAbout the speaker:\nBefore his appointment for the chair of Philosophy of Law\,Â Professor MichelonÂ was a lecturer (2007-2010) and Senior Lecturer (2010-2015) at Edinburgh Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: The Modern Approach to Statutory Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: The Modern Approach to Statutory Interpretation\nSpeaker: Professor Dale Smith\, The University of Melbourne\nIt is now common\, in Australia and in a number of other jurisdictions\, to speak of â€œthe modern approach to statutory interpretationâ€. Many of the details of this approach are unclear or contested. However\, the modern approach consists at least of a rejection of literalism\, and an emphasis on the importance of considering the statutory text in context and in light of the statutory purpose. \nAs such\, the modern approach can be characterised as a pluralist account of statutory interpretation. Indeed\, it is sometimes summarised in the slogan â€œtext\, context and purposeâ€. \nIn this seminar\, Professor Dale Smith identifies three sets of questions raised by the modern approach. These questions concern what\, precisely\, is meant by â€œtextâ€\, â€œcontextâ€ and â€œpurposeâ€\, what role these three factors play in statutory interpretation (e.g. are they relevant in their own right or merely as evidence of something else?) and what should be done in cases where those factors push in different directions. \nHe argues that\, to the extent that adherents of the modern approach have addressed these questions\, they have disagreed among themselves about the correct answers\, and he explores some of the difficulties confronting the various answers that have been offered to date. \nSpeaker:\nDale Smith’s research focuses primarily on analytic legal philosophy\, especially the jurisprudential writings of Ronald Dworkin. He also writes on theoretical aspects of statutory interpretation and (with Colin Campbell) on anti-discrimination law. \nDale’s research has been published in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies\, Legal Theory\, Law and Philosophy\, the Modern Law Review and the University of Toronto Law Journal. \nDale graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1998 with first class honours degrees in Law and Arts. He also holds a Masters of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Melbourne and a D.Phil in Law from the University of Oxford. His doctoral thesis was on the implications for adjudication of the debate between moral objectivists and anti-objectivists. \nPrior to joining Melbourne Law School in 2014\, Dale was a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at Monash University. He was a Visiting Fellow at the Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy at the University of Surrey in 2019\, and a Visiting Academic at the Faculty of Laws\, University College London in 2012. \nDale is a past Editor of the Australasian Journal of Legal Philosophy\, and a past Treasurer of the Australasian Society of Legal Philosophy. He is currently the Associate Dean (Research) at Melbourne Law School. \n  \nThursday 26 May 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Louise Richardson-Self & Gabrielle Mardon\, "Stuck in Suffering: A Philosophical Exploration of Violence"
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Louise Richardson-Self & Gabrielle Mardon\, “Stuck in Suffering: A Philosophical Exploration of Violence”\nSpeakers: Louise Richardson-Self\, University of Tasmania and Gabrielle Mardon\, PhD candidate\, University of Tasmania\nThis paper considers and evaluates some of the elastic applications of the term â€œviolenceâ€. \nSome of the most well-known applications are structural\, symbolic\, epistemic\, psychosocial\, and linguistic violence. Should these phenomena be understood as violence-proper or are these merely provocative hyperbole? \nSome scholars are openly resistant to these elastic applications\, arguing that calling these phenomena â€˜violence’ is no more than conceptual carelessness. \nThe question that interests Louise Richardson-Self and Gabrielle Mardon is why people continue to be drawn to the image of violence to typify certain phenomena that cause suffering. They identify that it is the temporal extension (i.e.\, the experiential duration) of the experience of stuckedness in suffering that unifies these conditions. In close\, they offer some reflections on the relationship of law to (what is called) violence and where it can mitigate stuckedness. \n  \nThursday 5 May 2022\, 6-7.30pmÂ AEST \nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Legislative Intent: A Rational Unity Account
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Legislative Intent: A Rational Unity Account\n(co-authored with David Tan\, Deakin University) \nPLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS BEING HELD ONLINE AND IN-PERSON AT SYDNEY LAW SCHOOL. \nSpeaker: Associate ProfessorÂ Stephanie Collins\, Monash University\nDoes the legislature have intentions concerning the effects of legislation? If so\, how can that intent be gleaned? Existing theories of legislative intent can be divided into three camps: skepticism\, constructivism\, and realism. This paper begins by outlining problems for constructivism and (existing accounts of) realism. However\, this does not imply a retreat into skepticism. Instead\, the paper offers a new account of legislative intent: the rational unity account. The paper explains how this account avoids the problems with existing versions of realism and constructivism\, while also capturing the sense in which the legislature is a rational group agent with intentions that can be distinguished from the intentions of individual legislators. \nAbout the speaker\nStephanie CollinsÂ is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Monash University. Her work primarily develops theories of group agency and group responsibility. Her monographs are The Core of Care Ethics (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2015)\,Â Group Duties: Their Existence and Their Implications for IndividualsÂ (Oxford University Press\, 2019) andÂ Organizations as WrongdoersÂ (Oxford University Press\, forthcoming). \n  \nThursday 14 April 2022\nTime: 6-7.30pm AEST \nPLEASE NOTE: This event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Social possibility as constraint and social possibility as construct
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Social possibility as constraint and social possibility as construct\nSpeaker: Jayani Nadarajalingam\, University of Melbourne\nAs political and social philosophers\, one of our central aims is to work out which of the social facts in our world should be the candidates for change and why. In doing so\, we tend to treat some social facts asÂ givenÂ whereas we treat others asÂ objects of change. This gives rise to a question: which social facts should we treat as given and which ones as objects of action? \nThis paper puts forward a way in which we can answer this question in a principled manner. In doing so\, it describes two properties ofÂ social possibility: social possibility asÂ constraintÂ and social possibility asÂ construct. This then paves the way for an innovative understanding of the ideal/nonideal distinction that is often drawn in contemporary analytic English-language political philosophy. \n  \nSpeaker\nJayani NadarajalingamÂ is a lecturer with the Melbourne School of Government at the University of Melbourne. Her research interests lie primarily in political philosophy and constitutional theory. In 2022\, she will commence a postdoctoral fellowship in the Melbourne Law School’s Laureate Program in Comparative Constitutional Law (led by Professor Adrienne Stone). \n  \nTime:Â 6-7.30pmÂ AEDT \nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law\n\nThis inaugural Sydney Law School public lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law will be delivered byÂ Associate Professor Nicole Watson\, on the topic of ‘Indigenous Women\, Outlaw Culture and the Law’. \nThe University of Sydney Law School\, the oldest in Australia\, has long taught almost exclusively the laws brought by settlers to this continent. The Law School is committed to transforming legal education as part of the University’s â€˜One Sydney\, Many People’ Indigenous Strategy. \nEarlier this year the Law School declared its support for theÂ Uluru Statement of the Heart. We are also committed to further embedding Indigenous perspectives and legal traditions into our curriculum. \nThis new annual lecture is a key part of those commitments. It seeks to create a public platform for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholars to reflect on the nature of Indigenous laws and legal traditions for a wider audience in Australia and abroad. \n2021 Lecture\nâ€˜Indigenous Women\, Outlaw Culture and the Law’ \nSince the advent of colonisation\, Indigenous women have rarely enjoyed the protection of the law. In response to their exclusion from the law’s protection\, generations of Indigenous women have developed an outlaw culture\, which consists of tactics and practices that provide sanctuary from the violence of colonisation. \nIn common with the outlaw culture articulated by the American scholar\, Monica Evans\, Indigenous women’s outlaw culture is manifest in a spectrum of relationships with the law. At one end of the spectrum are the law-breakers who became bushrangers and absconders. At the other end are women who sought to create sanctuary by operating within the law. Such outlaw women drew upon their resourcefulness and grit to advocate for constitutional reform. Others pursued litigation in order to protect the rights of vulnerable people. \n\n\nThe speaker\nAssociate Professor Nicole Watson\, Director of Nura Gili Academic Programs\, University of New South Wales. \nNicole Watson is a Murri academic from south-east Queensland\, whose family hail from the Munanjali and Birri Gubba peoples. She is the Director of Nura Gili Academic Programs at UNSW\, and has an LLB\, an LLM and a DCA. Nicole has published a large body of work on legal issues that are pertinent to Indigenous peoples. Her 2021 book Indigenous Legal Judgments\, co-edited with Heather Douglas\, examines how the stories of Indigenous peoples can be incorporated into legal decision making. \nThe inaugural lecture is sponsored by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence. It will also feature several guest speakers: \n\nProfessor Lisa Jackson Pulver AM\, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy and Services)\, University of Sydney\nProfessor Simon Bronitt\, Dean\, Sydney Law School\, University of Sydney\nNathan Allen\, First Nations Officer\, Sydney University Law Society\n\n  \nWatch the replay\nWatch on The University of Sydney’s YouTube: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law: â€˜Indigenous Women\, Outlaw Culture and the Law’\,Â  delivered by Associate Professor Nicole Watson. \nCPD Points:Â 1.5 \nThis lecture is presented by the University of Sydney Law School in collaboration with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy and Services) at the University of Sydney. \nBanner image credit: â€˜Yanhambabirra Burambabirra Yalbailinya‘ (Come\, Share and Learn) 2020 by Luke Penrith for the One Sydney Many People Strategy.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Fidelity to Real-World Politics: Political Realism under Conditions of Modernity
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Fidelity to Real-World Politics: Political Realism under Conditions of Modernity\nSpeaker: Lukas Opacic\, Sydney Law School\nIn recent years\, the debate between political moralists and political realists has enjoyed increasing relevance within the philosophical literature\, and this presentation adds another voice to that debate. Lukas Opacic begins by outlining what he regards as a key methodological requirement of political realism: that political theory must be sufficiently faithful to the conditions of real-world politics if it is to be â€˜political’ theory (what he calls the â€˜fidelity requirement’). The paper then defends two claims: first\, that the â€˜fidelity requirement’ is a necessary one for political theory; and second\, that a popular form of political realism\, that of Bernard Williams\, does not adequately satisfy that requirement. \nSpeaker\nLukas OpacicÂ is a graduate of Sydney Law School and was awarded his PhD (Realism and Moralism in Political Thought) this year. He also holds a B.Sc. (Pure Mathematics) from the University of Sydney and teaches Constitutional Law and Public Law at Sydney Law School. His research concerns the methodology of political theory\, in particular the way in which methodological considerations can shed light on what are generally considered purely substantive questions in political theory. This research also explores the ways in which the work of Michael Oakeshott can be used as an alternative basis for realist thought in a post-liberal political context. In a previous life\, Lukas was a concert pianist and a mathematics teacher. \n  \nTime:Â 6-7.30pm \nThis is an online event. Once you register you will receive the Zoom details. \n  \nCPD Points:Â 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by theÂ Julius Stone Institute of JurisprudenceÂ at The University of Sydney Law School.Â

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Law's People
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Law’s People\nSpeaker: Dr Susan Bartie\, University of Tasmania\nAlice Erh-Soon TayÂ was appointed as Challis Professor of Jurisprudence at the Faculty of Law at the University of Sydney in 1975. She became the first Asian-Australian and second woman to become a law professor at an Australian university. \nHer appointment brought with it a belief among some of her new colleagues that she would close the jurisprudential arm of the Department of Jurisprudence and International Law and end decades of division within the Faculty. \nContrary to expectations\, she neither closed the Department nor mended fences. The small Department continued to operate\, in the face of opposition and hostility\, for another 23 years. Unlike her predecessor\, Professor Julius Stone\, Tay is not a well-known figure among the current generation of Australian legal academics. \nDrawing on this case study\, as well as others described inÂ Free Hands and MindsÂ (Hart\, 2019) andÂ American Legal Education Abroad – Critical HistoriesÂ (NYU Press\, 2021 – edited with David Sandomierski)\, this paper will explore how and why we honour and remember certain legal figures. It will identify a range of factors\, including US influence\, which have distorted current understandings of academics and the discipline of law. And it will argue that in some circumstances the running of a department or faculty can be characterised as an important contribution to both the discipline of law and legal theory; a contribution which ought to be better recognised and understood. \nSpeaker\nDr Susan BartieÂ is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania. She researches the history of legal ideas\, law schools and lawyers in Australian society. She is currently working on a 50-year socio-legal history of Australian environmental lawyering which\, from 2022 to 2024\, will be supported by an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. \n  \nTime:Â 6-7.30pm \nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Expertise for the End of History: The Rise of Comparative Constitutional Law in the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Expertise for the End of History: The Rise of Comparative Constitutional Law in the 1990s\nSpeaker: Dr Dylan Lino\, University of Queensland\nSince the 1990s\, the fortunes of comparative constitutional law as a field of scholarly enquiry have risen stratospherically. In accounting for the field’s rapid ascent and consolidation\, scholars typically identify as the main catalyst the wave of constitution-making that occurred in the early 1990s\, especially throughout the former Soviet Bloc. \nThat analysis\, while correct\, leaves much unsaid about the operative forces\, actors and institutions operating at â€˜the end of history’ that helped to establish comparative constitutional law as a prestigious domain of academic expertise. \nThis paper seeks to shed light on the rise of comparative constitutional law by exploring the origins and operation of one academic institution that was both exemplary of and influential in that rise: the University of Chicago’s Center for the Study of Constitutionalism in Eastern Europe. \nDrawing on the example of the Chicago Center\, the paper argues that comparative constitutional law rose to prominence in substantial part because it was fostered by powerful global actors – Northern states\, private foundations and international institutions – to guide and legitimate their agendas of promoting liberal democracy in the Global South and the post-Communist world. For scholars\, whether in the Global North\, South or East\, comparative constitutional law became attractive not simply because of its intellectual interest\, but due to the opportunities comparative constitutional expertise offered for exerting political influence over constitution-making and for professional advancement. \nUnderstanding the origins of the rise of comparative constitutional law helps us in understanding the field’s shape today. \nAbout the speaker\nDylan LinoÂ is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland School of Law. He researches in constitutional law and colonialism\, especially in their historical and theoretical contexts. \n  \nTime: 6-7.30pm AEST \nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: What is the point of going to school?
DESCRIPTION:JSI seminar: What is the point of going to school?\nSpeaker:Â Dr Luara Ferracioli\, The University of Sydney\nIs there an interest that children have\, qua children\, which is uniquely or best served by their going to school? In the paper that Dr Luara Ferracioli will present at this seminar\, she and Dr Ryan Cox argue that there is: it is the interest that children have in establishing and maintaining a form of civic friendship with their fellow child citizens. They argue that this is an interest that children have\, qua children\, that is uniquely served by their going to school. Moreover\, they argue that it may well be an interest which is best served by children going to public school rather than private school. \nAbout the speaker\nDr Luara FerracioliÂ is Senior Lecturer in Political Philosophy at the University of Sydney. She was awarded her PhD from the Australian National University and was a Global Leaders Fellow at Oxford and Princeton in 2011-2013. Prior to her appointment at the University of Sydney\, she was an assistant professor in Political Theory at the University of Amsterdam. In 2021-2022\, she will be a Laurence S.
