SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: On Constitutional Review
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: On Constitutional Review\nIn-person event \nConstitutional review is a continental European instrument of checking the parliamentary legislation for its compliance with the constitution. This practice has a long history traced from ancient Greek democracy to the French and American Revolutions up to the 20th century culminating in Constitutional Courts. The Czechoslovakian experience of its Constitution of 1920 gives a unique perspective on the rule of law and the perennial questions of constitutional review: who should be the guardian of the Constitution? In its contemporary form\, this question has become whether the doctrine of the sovereignty of the parliament is a serious obstacle for a too strong (dominant) role of the judiciary the Large scale of competences of the Constitutional courts (except constitutional review). The talk concludes by discussing possible solutions without Constitutional Courts. \nAbout the speaker\nAlexander Bröstl is a Professor of Legal Philosophy in Slovakia. He was formerly a Judge on and later advisor to the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic\, as well as a member of the Judicial Council. His career has included positions at Fudan University in Shanghai\, and then Slovakian Consul in Beijing. Alexander next spent 18 years in Strasbourg as the Slovak member of the European Charter on Minority Languages. In addition\, he has been professor of law at the PJ Å afárik University and University of Trnava\, and held several high level administrative positions. \n  \nThursday 23 May 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: A republican case for regulatory juries
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: A republican case for regulatory juries\nIn-person event \nThe idea of administrative juries was proposed by David Arkush in 2013\, drawing on the republican revival in public-law theory. These proposed juries would make some key policy choices especially underlying delegated lawmaking in the US. The paper challenges some criticisms that have been made of his proposal. It also draws on aspects of the republican tradition not employed by Arkush to support such juries. Indeed\, the paper suggests that more extensive delegation could occur where juries are involved. Partly for that reason\, the wider term ‘regulatory juries’ is preferred. The paper argues that such juries may assist in democratising delegated legislation as well as the political system more generally. They could do so not only in the US but also\, at least\, in the UK and Australia. \nAbout the speaker\nEric Ghosh is an Associate Professor in the Law School at the University of New England\, where he has taught jurisprudence and administrative law. His research is in constitutional theory\, political philosophy and the history of political thought\, with a focus on the republican revival in legal scholarship. He is the author of articles published in journals including the History of Political Thought and Oxford Journal of Legal Studies. More recently\, he wrote Beyond the republican revival: Liberty as non-domination\, positive liberty\, and sortition (Hart\, 2020). \n\nThursday 6 June 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Workshop: Positive Pluralism and its Limits
DESCRIPTION:JSI Workshop: Positive Pluralism and its Limits\nIn-person event \nThis project asks how freedom of religion should be construed when applied to religious insular communities whose way of life is often at odds with Western assumptions of a good life. I will argue for protection of distinctive religious communal identities as entities in and of themselves that are deserving of constitutional protection on the ground that they contribute to a thick pluralism. I propose a theory of pluralism that is premised on its positive value\, and not merely on what John Rawls calls the “fact of pluralism.” At the same time\, I argue that it is equally if not more important to ensure that members of such communities have a meaningful ability to exit from them. The project will spotlight several concrete impediments to the “right of exit” in one large insular religious community: the Hasidic community in New York. It will lay out not only how internal communal practices—including and most notably the lack of secular education—can hamper members’ ability to exit but also how the state\, via its family courts\, contribute to its curtailment. \nAbout the speaker \nZalman Rothschild is Assistant Professor of Law and Horn Family Distinguished Research Scholar in Law and Religion at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Previously\, he was a Bigelow Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School. His research focuses on the First Amendment\, anti-discrimination law\, and law and religion. \nBefore becoming a Bigelow Fellow\, Zalman served as a law clerk to Judge Jane Roth on the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and practiced law for several years as a litigation associate at Paul\, Weiss. During that time\, Zalman was recognized by The American Lawyer in its “Litigator of the Week” profile for winning a Fourth Amendment appeal and securing the reversal of all convictions of his client (2021) and received the “On the Rise—Top 40 Young Lawyer” award from the American Bar Association (2022). \nZalman holds a JD\, magna cum laude\, from Harvard Law School and a PhD in Religion from New York University. \n——————————— \nTuesday 18 June\, 2024\nTime: 2-3pm  \nVenue: Level 4\, Board Room\, New Law Building (F10) \nCPD Points: 1 \n———————————- \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Social Rights and Proportionality
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Social Rights and Proportionality\nIn-person event \nThis seminar outlines a model of proportionality analysis for the adjudication of positive constitutional economic and social rights [hereinafter: social rights]. Three distinctions are the basis of this model: (i) the distinction between empirical and normative aspects of the adjudication of social rights; (ii) between the level and mode of fulfilment of those rights; and (iii) between the competence of political authorities and courts to determine the appropriate level and mode of satisfaction. \nAbout the speaker\nCarlos Bernal is First Vice-President and 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 (Bogotá – 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\, human rights\, energy transition\, and general jurisprudence. \nThursday 20 June 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Natural Law to Natural Rights to Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Natural Law to Natural Rights to Human Rights\nIn-person event \n**Please note this event date has been moved to one day earlier than originally advertised.** \nNatural law and natural rights are frequently discussed as if they are tightly connected\, and human rights are presented as natural rights in a new label. But the relationship between all three is complicated and in tension. Natural law consists of objective legal principles and rules dictating the right course of action: do good and avoid evil\, do not murder or steal\, honor contracts\, and other binding proscriptions and prescriptions. Natural rights\, in contrast\, are innate subjective rights individuals hold against government and others. This is about individual powers\, entitlements\, and areas of protection from infringement by others: a right to possess property\, to defend one’s life\, to exercise free speech\, to choose one’s religion\, to choose employment and spouses\, and so forth. \nThomas Hobbes drew a clear distinction between the two: “RIGHT consisteth in liberty to do\, or to forbear: whereas LAW\, determineth\, and bindeth to one of them: so that law\, and right\, differ as much\, as obligation and liberty.” Or as John Locke put it\, “for right [jus] consists in the fact that we have a free use of something\, but law [lex] is that which either commands or forbids some action.” A tension arises because natural rights promote freedom while natural law compels conformity. Natural rights and human rights appear obviously connected\, since both espouse rights that attach to humans universally. Yet tension exists because natural rights had expired over a century before “human rights” obtained recognition\, those who recognized human rights did not identify them with natural rights\, and the content of the human rights extend far beyond previously recognized natural rights. Natural law\, natural rights\, and human rights are linked yet distinct. \nAbout the speaker\nBrian Tamanaha is the John S. Lehmann University Professor at Washington University School of Law. A scholar of jurisprudence and law and society\, he has written eleven books\, which have collectively received 6 book awards\, and his work has been translated into a dozen languages. \nWednesday 24 July 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST – NEW DATE\nVenue: Level 4\, Boardroom\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Julius Stone Address: Law\, Philosophy\, and the Susceptible Skins of Living Beings
DESCRIPTION:Julius Stone Address: Law\, Philosophy\, and the Susceptible Skins of Living Beings\nIn-person event\n  \nCatherine the Great (apparently) wrote to the French philosopher Diderot something along the lines of: “You philosophers are fortunate. You write on paper\, and paper is patient. Unfortunate emperor that I am\, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.” Catherine expressed\, I think\, an important insight\, that is true of the law as well: the law writes on the susceptible skins of living beings. \nThis doesn’t mean\, of course\, that we should not philosophize about the law\, or that we should not take advantage of the benefits of having patient paper to write on. But as we do so\, we should philosophize about the law all the time fully realizing that the law itself does not write on patient paper\, but on the susceptible skins of living beings. This has important implications to how we should – and how we should not – do philosophy of law. This talk elaborates on these implications – both in general\, and using more specific examples. \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor David Enoch \nDavid Enoch is The Professor of the Philosophy of Law at Oxford\, and the Rodney Blackman Chair in the Philosophy of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He works primarily in moral\, political\, and legal philosophy. \nDavid studies law and philosophy at Tel Aviv University\, and then got his PhD in philosophy at NYU (2003). He has published a book defending moral realism (Taking Morality Seriously\, OUP 2011)\, and many papers mostly in moral\, political\, and legal philosophy. \n  \nWednesday 31 July\, 2024\nTime: 6-7.30pm \nVenue: Auditorium 104/105\, Michael Spence Building (F23)\, City Road\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School. \nThe Julius Stone Address is generously sponsored by the Educational Heritage Foundation. It is named to commemorate the life and work of Professor Julius Stone\, Australia’s foremost legal philosopher and for many years Challis Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: 'The Little Commonweale of my poore thoughts': nature\, ownership\, Cosmography\, and the origins of the climate crisis in Richard Zouche\, 1613-63
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: ‘The Little Commonweale of my poore thoughts’: nature\, ownership\, Cosmography\, and the origins of the climate crisis in Richard Zouche\, 1613-63\nIn-person event \nThis seminar examines Richard Zouche’s legal thought on ‘nature’ at some of the earliest origins of the climate crisis and the formation of international law. Zouche is usually remembered as the ‘father’ of international legal positivism for his 1656 treatise An Exposition of the Fecial Law and Procedure\, or of Law between Nations where he influentially introduced the term ‘jus inter gentes’ or law between peoples as the basis for his juridical system. In this work\, Zouche deals extensively with questions of ownership in war and peace. He describes a tripartite right for princes and peoples as ‘Plenary’\, ‘Hereditary’ or ‘merely Usufructuary’ rights both to holding power and property. He also deals with questions of sea jurisdiction and appropriation by occupation\, which he expanded on in his posthumous treatise on the Admiralty courts. \nMost significantly\, Zouche solidifies two major tenets of legal argumentation that provided the early architecture for claims and extraction that formed the early climate crisis. First was the ‘jus inter gentes’ formulation that allowed for international law to be developed by consent between princes and peoples\, referable to Augustinian concord but not bound by it or the law of nature. Second\, Zouche’s modernisation of the disputation format gave ‘both sides’ of each of these legal questions\, both obscuring Zouche’s own views and giving princes and lawyers a handbook with the argumentative structures for claiming and resisting legal disputes around ownership\, showing the vital importance of these legal questions in the early history of international law. But it is in Zouche’s juvenile cosmographical poem ‘The Dove’ (1613) that an early vision of the political economy of the world and the importance of sight and ordering — the main tools of positivism — were first announced through the circling of Noah’s dove. Zouche called this poem ‘the little Commonweale of my poore thoughts’. The Dove provides an early announcement of the foundational commitments that thread through Zouche’s major juridical works. Throughout these works\, Zouche’s engagement with nature and natural resources move quickly to questions of ownership and right\, revealing the function of law to connect early forms of extraction\, capitalism and empire. \nAbout the speaker\nMartin Clark is a lecturer at La Trobe Law School. His research focuses on the history of legal thought and international and public law. His work has been published in the Modern Law Review\, the British Yearbook of International Law\, the Leiden Journal of International Law and the Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly\, and he is finishing a book (with Dr Yoriko Otomo) on law and commodities\, Eating the World: A Global History of Law and Commodities (Counterpress). He was awarded his PhD in Law from the London School of Economics and Political Science in May 2020 for a thesis on the history of the ideas of ‘domestic’ and ‘international’ in British legal thought. At LSE he was a Judge Rosalyn Higgins Scholar and Modern Law Review Scholar (2018 and 2019). \nHe is an Editor at the London Review of International Law and Web Assistant at the Modern Law Review. Prior to joining La Trobe he was a Modern Law Review Postdoctoral Fellow\, a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for International Law and the Humanities at Melbourne Law School\, a Lecturer at UTAS Law\, where he taught contract and legal theory\, and a JD Teaching Fellow at Melbourne Law School\, where he taught contract \nThursday 29 August 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.
