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  URL:https://law-events.sydney.edu.au/event/lgbtq-organising-in-the-new-protest-environment-book-launch-and-panel-discussion/ LOCATION:Common Room\, Level 4\, Sydney Law School CATEGORIES:CPD eligible events,Criminology events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://law-events.sydney.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/ellisbooklaunch-6kvTW7.tmp_.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20230221T123000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20230221T140000 DTSTAMP:20260407T030731 CREATED:20240912T235929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240913T010813Z UID:1671-1676982600-1676988000@law-events.sydney.edu.au SUMMARY:The Living Law of Wikipedia DESCRIPTION:The Living Law of Wikipedia\nIn-person event\n  \nWikipedia offers (yet) another example of a scheme of ‘private ordering’\, regulation and governance that works largely outside of state law. Its institutions and procedures show strong resemblances to those found in legal systems generally.  But what may distinguish Wikipedia ( or what some Wikipedians claim does so) is the frequent discursive insistence on the risks of taking rules seriously and the dangers of what they call ‘Wikilawering’. \nIn this talk\, Professor Nelken will seek to explore why this is so and what it means in actual practice\, also with reference to a various ‘trouble cases’ as illustrations. \nAbout the speaker:\nDavid Nelken is Professor of Comparative and Transnational Law\, and former Head of Research\, at the Dickson Poon Law School\, King’s College\, London. Professor Nelken’s research focuses on theoretical enquiry and empirical investigation in the areas of comparative sociology of law\, criminology\, and legal and social theory. He taught law at Cambridge\, Edinburgh and University College\, London\, from 1976-1989 before moving to Italy in 1990 as Distinguished Professor of Legal Institutions and Social Change at the University of Macerata. From 1995 to 2013 he was also Distinguished Research Professor of Law at Cardiff University\, and from 2010 to 2014 Visiting Professor of Criminology at Oxford University. He is also a Fellow of the UK Academy of Social Sciences. On the editorial board of numerous journals\, he is also a member of the Independent Board of the SCOPUS (Elsevier) Database of peer-reviewed literature\, where he is responsible for evaluating all law journals worldwide. He was a Panel member of Scottish Children’s Hearings juvenile justice system 1979-1983\, a member of Italian Regional Crime committees in the 1990’s and\, amongst many visiting appointments\, was the Global Law professor at Tilburg University\, the Netherlands\, for 2014. \n\nTuesday 21 February 2023\nTime: 1-2pm AEDT (Light lunch from 12.30pm)\nVenue: New Law Building (F10)\, Level 4\, Common Room\, University of Sydney (Camperdown campus)\nCPD Points: 1\n  \nThis event is proudly hosted by The University of Sydney Law School.  URL:https://law-events.sydney.edu.au/event/the-living-law-of-wikipedia/ LOCATION:Common Room\, Level 4\, Sydney Law School CATEGORIES:CPD eligible events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20230217T173000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20230217T184500 DTSTAMP:20260407T030731 CREATED:20240912T235946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240913T010721Z UID:1681-1676655000-1676659500@law-events.sydney.edu.au SUMMARY:2023 George Winterton Memorial Lecture DESCRIPTION:2023 George Winterton Memorial Lecture: Judicial review of legislative and executive action – acceptance and resentment – lessons from a comparative perspective.\nSpeaker: The Honourable Susan Kiefel AC\, Chief Justice of Australia\n\nIn-person event \nThe George Winterton Memorial Lecture was established to commemorate the outstanding and lasting contribution of Professor George Winterton to constitutional law scholarship and teaching. \nAbout the Lecture \nThe 2023 Winterton Lecture examines the reaction to recent decisions of the courts of the United Kingdom\, the United States of America and Australia in controversial matters from the governments of the day and politicians. Historically\, there has been a general acceptance of the need for judicial review and the role of the courts in undertaking it. It enquires whether there is evident change in the acceptance of the decisions of the courts as authoritative and whether there may be other impacts on the courts. Immediately following the Lecture\, there will be a reception in the Foyer of the Banco Court at which the 5th edition of Winterton’s Australian Federal Constitutional Law will be launched by the Hon A S Bell\, Chief Justice of New South Wales. \nAbout the Speaker \nSusan Mary Kiefel AC was appointed Chief Justice of Australia on 30 June 2017. Her Honour was educated in Queensland and received an LLM from the University of Cambridge. She became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland in 1993 and of the Federal Court in 1994.

This new seminar series is a collaboration between academics at the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland and will provide a unique forum for academia\, industry\, and regulatory agencies to come together to explore current trends in corporate accountability and regulation. \nThe seminar series will consider the myriad forms of modern corporate wrongdoing and investigate current trends in corporate accountability and regulation\, such as the shift from individual to corporate responsibility\, the emergence of hybrid civil penalties\, and the growing focus on ‘soft law’ and CSG/ESG norms in redefining corporate culture and practice. It will also identifies new and emerging regulatory mechanisms and strategies to prevent and remediate harms caused by corporations. The seminars and workshops in the series will provide a forum to explore these trends and challenge perspectives in a closed invitation-only format by leading academics\, practitioners and policy makers. Through this dialogue – bringing together principled and pragmatic perspectives – the series aims to inform research\, share insights\, and promote better informed public policy and debate about how we understand the nature of responsive regulation of the ‘body corporate’ in the early decades of the 21st century. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the launch\, and to your continued involvement in the seminar series throughout 2023. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 2 February\, 2023\nTime: 5-6.30pm (Keynote address from 5-5.45pm\, followed by a cocktail reception) \nVenue: New Law Building (F10)\, Law Lounge\, Level 1\, University of Sydney (Camperdown Campus) \nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

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.

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. This presentation will assist legal practitioners considering a career at the NSW Bar\, solicitors who brief barristers and play a role in the discharge of their ethical obligations\, and junior barristers recently called to the Bar. \nPresenter \nTalitha Hennessy is an experienced criminal lawyer having appeared for both the defense and prosecution. Before her admission to the NSW Bar in 2017\, she was an Associate to Justice Cohen at the Family Court in Sydney. Talitha has also worked as a solicitor for the Aboriginal Legal Service in Dubbo\, appearing in over 100 hearings in the Children’s Court and Local Court throughout Central Western NSW\, as well as in numerous severity and conviction appeals and sentence matters in the District Court. Talitha also worked as solicitor at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (NSW)\, where she regularly appeared on behalf of the Crown in summary hearings in the Local Court and also appeared for the Crown as an advocate in a number of District Court trials. In addition\, Talitha has prepared and instructed in murder trials and other complex matters. She has also appeared in Family Law applications in the Federal Circuit Court\, and in Care and Protection matters in the Children’s Court. \n\n\nRegistration\nFull series (7 webinars) = $300\nIndividual webinar(s) = $50 \n\nCLICK HERE to register \nThis webinar will be released on 15 December 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.

Her central insight is that ‘the real realm of injustice … 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: ‘[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 ‘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 ‘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.

To discuss this difficult policy issue\, this year’s panel brings together a range of perspectives: \n\nProfessor Emeritus Ron McCallum AO – Ron is the former Dean of Sydney Law School and an expert in disability and labour law. He was a part-time member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and in October 2022 was appointed as one of three independent expert reviewers by the NDIS.\nDr Angela Jackson -Dr Jackson is lead economist at Impact Economics and Policy\, with expertise in distributional analysis\, labour markets\, disability\, health\, gender\, housing and fiscal policy. She has authored a number of major reports on housing policy\, and the importance of investing in social housing for an equitable economic recovery from COVID-19.\nDeborah Connors – Deborah has been a NDIS client since late 2016. She has experienced and employed a variety of support services in that time – including carers\, cleaners\, nurses and physiotherapists. The experience has run the gamut from superb and life changing\, to terrible and despairing. As a result of the good support services\, she eventually found Deborah has been able to continue to work fulltime and participate fully in life\, and is living evidence of the NDIS goals.\nGiancarlo de Vera – Giancarlo is the Senior Manager of Policy at People with Disability Australia. They are a passionate advocate for disability\, multiculturalism\, racial justice\, LGBTIQ+ affairs and cultural diversity.

From the perspective of legal realism\, the Dutch ruling provides a momentum for climate litigation worldwide. However\, from the perspective of potential lawsuits for the reduction of CO2 emissions against companies in Germany\, one must assert that the Shell ruling cannot simply be transposed into the German legal order. \nDiscussant: Dr Katherine Owens\, Director of the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law. \n\nAbout the speaker\nProf. Dr. Marc-Philippe Weller\, Vice-Rector for International Affairs of Heidelberg University \nProf. Marc-Philippe Weller has been Vice-Rector for International Affairs of Heidelberg University since 2019.

He is also in charge of legal compliance. \nProf. Weller studied Law at the universities of Heidelberg and Montpellier\, and earned his doctorate at Heidelberg University in 2004\, while he was also employed as an associate advocate. He completed his habilitation at the University of Cologne in 2008. Before accepting the appointment to Heidelberg University\, Prof. Weller held a Chair at the University of Mannheim from 2008 to 2011\, and at the University of Freiburg from 2011 to 2014.

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\, 6-7.30pm AEDT\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

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.

As the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report has warned this is going to get worse. Australia has already warmed by 1.4° C. Each of the climate-induced disasters – floods and bushfires – has had a severe impact on our electricity infrastructure. When power is lost\, telecommunications also fail meaning that communities are unable to stay in contact with emergency services and with each other. This conference assesses ways in which our existing grid can be made more resilient but it also looks to the resilience of our future grid in 2040. Experts from the disciplines of law\, engineering\, and physics\, in Australia and the United States\, will share their perspectives on how this can be achieved. \n__________________________________ \nThursday 10 November 2022\, 9am-4.30pm AEDT\nClick here to view the program. \nThis event is being held  online.

Introductory remarks will be made by by First Nations Lawyer in Residence\, Teela Reid. \n2022 Lecture \nFirst Law: A Climate Chance \nWe share our ancient philosophical framework\, how we continue to enshrine our lifeways and livelihoods in the First Laws. We believe human and non-human beings have an equal right to life. \nThe meaning of life is grounded in the interdependent relationship between all things. There are benefits from promoting earth-centered governance where relationships are inclusive of our nonhuman kin. This balance and harmony with our living cultural landscapes grounds the philosophical framework of values\, ethics\, and belief that the Law is in the Land\, not in Man. \nWe believe we can share and dream together so we can better understand how we\, as human beings\, can once again start to live in harmony with each other and with everything around us. We need to dream a new reality and defend our amazing planet\, Mother Earth\, and life itself from climate chaos and destruction. Otherwise\, Mother Earth will be lonely without the vibrations of human beings! \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nTuesday 8 November\, 6-7.30pm\nCPD points =1.5 \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThe speakers \nProfessor Anne Poelina is Co-Chair of Indigenous Studies at the Nulungu Institute Research University of Notre Dame\, and Adjunct Professor at the College of Indigenous Education Futures\, Arts & Society\, Charles Darwin University\, Darwin.

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.

Developed and chaired by the ACCEL interns\, this event forms part of the ACCEL NextGen Series. \nAlthough corporations are increasingly responding to the climate crisis through implementing sustainability targets and promoting ESG practices within their day-to-day business\, environmental law has begun to focus on ‘greenwashing’: the deceptive persuasion of a company to the public that their policies and protocols are environmentally friendly. \nThe Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (“ACCR”) has recently filed a landmark case in the Federal Court against Santos\, one of Australia’s largest oil and gas companies. This is the first case in which a company’s net zero emissions target has been challenged\, as well as being the first relating to the viability of carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) and the environmental impacts of blue hydrogen. \nThe ACCR filed their case initially on the basis that Santos engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct in claiming that CCS is able to make gas a “clean fuel.” The ACCR alleges that the pathway for net zero emissions that Santos mapped out in its 2020 Annual Report for reaching its sustainability goals is not substantiated by scientific evidence. \nIn August 2022\, the ACCR amended pleadings to include additional claims arising from Santos’ 2020 Investor Day Briefing and their 2021 Climate Change Report. Allegations include that ‘blue hydrogen’ production would actually increase Santos’ greenhouse gas emissions and that CCS is not practical to capture all of Santos’ increased emissions. Further\, ACCR claims that their net zero plan does not account for the expected projected emissions and production growth from oil and gas exploration. \nYou will hear from those directly involved in the landmark case and from experts in the field of environmental law and corporate citizenship. \nPanelists:\nDr Sebastian Hartford Davis\, Barrister\, Banco Chambers\nProfessor Christopher Wright\, The University of Sydney Business School\nSally Torgoman\, Partner\, Infrastructure\, Assets & Places\, KPMG \nAbout the event \nThe panel will delve into the potential implications of the case\, such as the role of environmental law in enforcing corporate responsibility and how it can be harnessed to push corporations beyond mere ‘box-ticking’ of ESG requirements. Further\, the panel will explore how corporations can balance financial stability and their sustainability goals in keeping with legal obligations\, considering the future of this developing area of the law. \n\nWednesday 19 October 2022\, 1-2pm AEDT\nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

On the contrary\, China should seek centralized pluralism: trying to become one of a limited number of centers leading international digital trade and e-commerce legislation. \n(2) For a long time in the past\, China’s legislative model for domestic laws in foreign-related economic relations was to use international pressures (e.g. trade negotiation) to push domestic reforms. That is to apply the ‘internalization of international law’ model. However\, in the field of digital trade and e-commerce\, China has increasingly departed from the old model and instead\, adopts the “externalization of domestic law” model. For example\, China’s legislation on the protection of personal information has included provisions to achieve extraterritorial application\, and Chinese courts have actively exercised long-arm jurisdiction in intellectual property disputes. The application of Chinese domestic law outside China will likely become the norm in the coming years. \n(3) The “externalization of domestic law” model will likely help China become one of a limited number of centers shaping international digital trade and e-commerce legislation. \nIt has seven chapters covering major themes of the e-commerce/digital trade: cross-border data flow\, intermediaries (such as Internet platforms)\, trade facilitation and China’s innovation in trade in goods by e-commerce\, China’s private-international-law response to digital trade and e-commerce development\, personal information protection and international investment arbitration. \n“As one of the earliest research monographs in this field\, this book has a thorough and precise analysis of CPTPP digital trade rules and is an indispensable reference book for scholars and practitioners studying CPTPP and free trade agreements.” Professor Qingjiang Kong\, China University of Political Science and Law \nModerator: Mr. David Markus\, law and data compliance expert and EMBA student at the University of Sydney Business School. \nFind out more about the book. \nThe book is in Chinese: Jie (Jeanne) Huang\, China and the International E-commerce and Digital Trade Law: the case of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (University of International Business and Trade Press\, August 2022\, Beijing China\, ISBN: 9787566323989\, 262\,000 words). \nAbout the author \nDr. Jie (Jeanne) Huang is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Law School\, specializing in conflict of laws and digital trade.

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.
