SUMMARY:2022 Paul Byrne Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:2022 Paul Byrne Memorial Lecture: They’re all good cases: Paul Byrne SC\nDelivered by Justice Peter Hamill\nPaul Byrne was one of Justice Peter Hamill’s most important mentors. His Honour thought he would use the opportunity\, at what would have been\, but for Covid\, the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Paul Byrne SC Memorial Lecture\, to speak about the man himself. \nJustice Hamill will speak about the contributions Paul made to the law though his work at all levels of the criminal justice system\, his quirks and eccentricities\, his passions\, and his approach to the art of persuasion. \nThe lecture will be a personal and professional memoir of a man who so many people loved and admired. \nIt will cover some of Paul’s triumphs in the High Court on critical issues in the criminal law like identification evidence (Domican)\, the prosecutor’s duty of disclosure (in Grey)\, relevance (in Mundarra Smith)\, judicial and apprehended bias (in Antoun) and obtaining special leave where a point was not taken in the courts below (Crampton). \nJustice Hamill will also share some of Paul Byrne’s wisdom about court craft and advocacy\, the benefits of courtesy\, aspects of cross-examination and “reading the room”\, that is the Court room. The lecture may meander into more esoteric subjects such why expert witnesses should not wear bow ties and Paul’s unique approach to financial investment. There may be some discussion of racing cars. \nHis Honour hopes his speech will be both educational and entertaining\, but mainly hopes to share some stories about one of Australia’s finest criminal defence lawyers. \nAbout the speaker\nJustice Peter Hamill was sworn in as a judge of the Supreme Court in April 2014. His Honour began his legal career as a clerk in the Court of Petty Sessions and achieved his legal qualifications by studying part time for the Barristers’ Admission Board examinations. His Honour worked as Justice Mary Gaudron’s Associate in the High Court before commencing practice at the Bar in 1988. \nHe was a renowned criminal barrister and founding member of Forbes Chambers where he practised for over 25 years\, taking silk in 2004. His Honour was briefed in many trial matters by the Western Aboriginal Legal Service during this time and appeared at all levels of the criminal justice system\, from the Local Court to the High Court\, appearing in more than 150 criminal appeals. \nHis Honour also worked on some of the state’s most significant coronial inquests and commissions of inquiry including for the family in the police killing of Roberto Curti\, for Keli Lane at the inquest into the disappearance of her daughter and for NSW police at the judicial inquiry into the conviction of Phuong Ngo. His Honour is known for his unique catchwords\, and a bold and humane approach to the law. \nPaul Byrne SC was one of his most important mentors and he still has a small shrine in his chambers so that he will never forget Paul’s wisdom and humanity. \n  \nWEDNESDAY 22 JUNE 2022\nTime: 6-7.30pm (followed by a cocktail reception) \nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThe Paul Byrne Memorial Fund\nThe Paul Byrne Memorial Fund was set up to honour and continue Paul’s interest in the criminal justice system by supporting the ongoing activities of the Institute of Criminology\, such as lectures\, seminars\, publications\, and awards. Attendees of the Paul Byrne SC Memorial Lecture are warmly invited to make a donation to The Paul Byrne SC Memorial Fund. \nGifts to The Paul Byrne SC Memorial Fund support the activities of the Institute of Criminology and other activities in the field of criminal law at Sydney Law School\, in memory of the late Paul Byrne SC. \n  \nThis event is proudly hosted by the Sydney Institute of Criminology\, highlighting the Institute’s support of critical criminal justice research\, practice\, policy and debate.

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 “the modern approach to statutory interpretation”. 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 “text\, context and purpose”. \nIn this seminar\, Professor Dale Smith identifies three sets of questions raised by the modern approach. These questions concern what\, precisely\, is meant by “text”\, “context” and “purpose”\, 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\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School. Please indicate your viewing preference when registering. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.  \n  \nImage: Canva

DESCRIPTION:Trust in Knowledge Talks – Launch Event\n  \nIn-person event\nPlease join us at the launch event of the new Trust in Knowledge Talks seminar series – a research initiative supported by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and the Research Portfolio at the University of Sydney. \nReproducibility\, replicability\, transparency and integrity are key attributes that enable excellence in research and research translation. Trust in Knowledge Talks promote these issues\, as well as the sharing of ideas and approaches across disciplines\, to enable discussion and collaboration on producing robust and reliable research across our university community. \nIn this inaugural Trust in Knowledge Talk hosted by Sydney Law School\, guest speaker Professor Simine Vazire from the University of Melbourne asks: where are the self-correcting mechanisms in science? \n  \nAbout the talk\n‘Where are the self-correcting mechanisms in science?’ \nWe often hear the self-correcting mechanisms in science invoked as a reason to trust science\, but it is not always clear what these mechanisms are. Some quality control mechanisms\, such as peer review for journals\, or vetting for textbooks or for public dissemination\, have recently been found not to provide much of a safeguard against invalid claims.  \nInstead\, I will argue that we should look for visible signs of a scientific community’s commitment to self-correction. These signs include transparency in the research and peer review process\, investment in error detection and quality control\, and an emphasis on calibration rather than popularisation. We should trust scientific claims more to the extent that they were produced by communities that have these hallmarks of credibility. Fields that are more transparent\, rigorous\, and calibrated should earn more trust. Meta-science can provide scientists and the public with valuable information in assessing the credibility of scientific fields. \nThe speaker\nProfessor Simine Vazire\, Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences\, University of Melbourne.  \nSimine is a board member of PLOS and the Berkeley Institute for Transparency in the Social Sciences\, was a member of the US National Academy of Science study committee on replicability and reproducibility\, and co-founded the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS). She is Editor in Chief of Collabra: Psychology and has served as editor at several other journals. She has two lines of research. One examines people’s self-knowledge of their personality and behaviour\, and another examines the individual and institutional practices and norms in science\, and the degree to which these norms encourage or impede self-correction and credibility.  \n\nTime: Thursday 19 May\, 5-6pm (followed by a cocktail reception)\nVenue: Sydney Law School\, Law Foyer\, level 2 (street level entrance)\, New Law Building F10\, University of Sydney.  \n \n  \nThis event is presented by the  University of Sydney Law School. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Legal Obligation of the Security Council's mandate on the protection of civilians in UN peacekeeping operations
DESCRIPTION:Legal Obligation of the Security Council’s mandate on the protection of civilians in UN peacekeeping operations\nSpeaker: Dr Tamer Morris\, Sydney Law School\nWhile the Security Council has been mandating peacekeepers to protect civilians since 1999\, there is still confusion on what it means to ‘protect’. Even though the concept of ‘protection’ can seem self-evident\, as UN peace missions are made up of multiple players\, each person has interpreted the protection of civilians mandate differently. As the concept of ‘protection’ is borrowed language\, each body of law will perceive ‘protection’ through a different lens. However\, as the mandate creates a legal obligation on UN peace missions\, a clear understanding of protection is fundamental to ensure performance and accountability. \nSpeaker: Tamer Morris is a casual academic at the University of Sydney teaching in international law. Tamer’s area of research focuses on protection of civilians\, particularly focusing on the legal understanding of the obligation to protect. \nAfter working briefly at the UN\, Tamer’s interests in peacekeeping and international law arose. Tamer’s doctoral thesis\, from the University of Sydney\, was on the legal obligation of the protection of civilians in UN peacekeeping. Focusing on the Security Council’s mandate and legal ramifications of peacekeepers engaging in protection activities. \nModerator: Associate Professor Emily Crawford\, Sydney Law School \n  \nTUESDAY 17 MAY 2022\, 12 – 1pm AEST\nOnce registered\, you will receive the Zoom link closer to the date of the webinar. \n  \nCPD Points: 1 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Sydney Centre for International Law at The University of Sydney Law School. \nThis is the first in a series of webinars highlighting the research of recently graduated doctoral candidates at The University of 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 “violence”. \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 ‘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\, 6-7.30pm 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 Professor 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 Collins 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)\, Group Duties: Their Existence and Their Implications for Individuals (Oxford University Press\, 2019) and Organizations as Wrongdoers (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:Direct Jurisdiction in Asia
DESCRIPTION:Direct Jurisdiction in Asia\nThe book Direct Jurisdiction is the second thematic volume in the series Studies in Private International Law – Asia. It considers the situations in which the courts of 15 key Asian states are prepared to hear a case involving cross-border elements. For instance\, will the courts of an Asian state accept jurisdiction in a dispute that has only some\, little or no connection with an Asian state\, and (if so) on what conditions? As a comprehensive survey across multiple jurisdictions and areas of law\, the book suggests that enacting suitable rules of direct jurisdiction requires an Asian state to strike a delicate balance between affording certainty and protecting its nationals. It involves sometimes difficult policy considerations and is not just about drawing up lists of jurisdictional grounds and exceptions to them. \nIn this webinar\, the editors and contributors will summarise the practical and theoretical findings in the book. It will consider the possibility of a multilateral convention or soft law instrument articulating principles of direct jurisdiction for Asia. It will also discuss possible trajectories that Asian states may be taking in respect of direct jurisdiction in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political tensions currently besetting the world. The editors and contributors will also talk about the process of putting the book together\, especially in the face of lockdowns and other restrictions imposed in various jurisdictions. \nThere will be ample time for Q&A. \n\nSpeakers\n\nProfessor Anselmo Reyes\, Singapore International Commercial Court; Doshisha University\, Editor of Direct Jurisdiction\nWilson Lui\, University of Hong Kong; University of Oxford\, Editor of Direct Jurisdiction\nDr Nobumichi Teramura\, University of Brunei Darussalam; University of Sydney\, Contributor of Direct Jurisdiction\n\nModerator: Professor Vivienne Bath\, University of Sydney Law School\n  \nBook discount offer\nDirect Jurisdiction\, Asian Perspectives:\nAustralian orders – receive 35% off here.\nUK orders – receive 20% off here. \n\nTime: Thursday 17 February\, 6pm AEDT \nThis is a free online event.

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

SUMMARY:ACCEL 2021 Distinguished Speaker Address: Can climate litigation save the planet?: the role of climate attribution science
DESCRIPTION:ACCEL 2021 Distinguished Speaker Address - Can climate litigation save the planet?: the role of climate attribution science\nSpeakers: Dr Petra Minnerop\, Durham University and Dr Friederike Otto\, University of Oxford and Global Climate Science Programme\nLitigants are increasingly approaching the courts in the face of inadequate action by governments and corporations on climate change. Plaintiffs want compensatory damages for losses incurred as a result of the defendants’ greenhouse gas emissions\, or are asking courts to compel governments and corporations\, to reduce their emissions. They also want financial institutions to stop financing the construction of high-emitting infrastructure\, and banks and businesses to disclose their exposure to the financial risks associated with climate change. \nThis Distinguished Address shows how climate attribution science assists with establishing the all important causal relationship between the defendants’ emissions and the plaintiffs’ losses. \nSpeakers\nDr Petra Minnerop is Associate Professor of International Law at Durham University where she is also the University’s Academic Lead for COP 26\, Co-Director of the Global Policy Institute and Co-Director of the Research Centre Law and Global Justice.
