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. Prior to joining Durham Law School\, Petra has held academic positions at the Universities of Dundee\, Munich and Göttingen\, and worked as Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law\, Heidelberg\, and at the Max Planck Foundation for International Peace and the Rule of Law\, Heidelberg. She is a member of the Bar in Germany. \nDr Friederike Otto is an Honorary Research Associate of the Environmental Change Institute\, University of Oxford\, and an Associate Professor in the Global Climate Science Programme. She leads several projects understanding the impacts of man-made climate change on natural and social systems with a particular focus on Africa and India. Fredi is the co-lead of World Weather Attribution (WWA)\, an international effort to analyse and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events. In 2019 Fredi was named one of New Scientist’s ‘Ones to Watch’ and in 2020 climate change attribution was named one of MIT Tech Review’s top ten breakthrough technologies. In 2020\, Fredi became one of just 10 international climate scientists to join the core writing team of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Synthesis Report of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) \nChair: Professor Tim Stephens\, The University of Sydney Law School \nRunning order\n6pm Welcome to Country delivered by Yvonne Weldon\, and introduction by Professor Stephens\n6.10pm ACCEL 2021 Distinguished Address\, Associate Professor Petro Minnerop and Dr Friederike Otto\n7.15pm Q&A\n7.30pm Close \n  \nThursday 9 December\, 6-7.30pm AEDT \nThis is an online event held on Zoom.  \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at The University of Sydney Law School.  \n  \n(Banner image sourced from Canva)

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: Common mistakes in using national uniform legislation
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: Common mistakes in using national uniform legislation\nNational uniform legislation underpins major areas of regulation in commercial and corporate law. Here are few examples in these major areas: regulation of corporations\, cooperatives\, consumer protection\, commercial arbitration\, electronic conveyancing\, defamation and business names. \nToday’s legal profession is “born to the age of statutes”. What are the main pitfalls in reading and interpreting national uniform legislation? Uniform legislation is not a panacea for all legal challenges but the growth in this area warrants close academic attention to take a step towards demystifying some of confusing factors that are obscuring the underlying general principles. \nThis practical presentation summarises the main findings of analysis of close to 100 sets of uniform Acts across a number of areas of law\, so it can be applied by legal practitioners and academics working with harmonised legislation. \n  \nSpeaker: Dr Guzyal Hill\, senior lecturer\, Charles Darwin University\nChair: Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law\, Sydney Law School\n  \n\nWebinar via Zoom\, Thursday 25 November 2021\, 6pm AEDT \nOnce you register\, your confirmation will provide the Zoom details. \n  \nThis seminar is sponsored by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School. \n  \nImage: Canva

SUMMARY:How Private International Law Can Make the UN Sustainable Development Goals a Reality
DESCRIPTION:How Private International Law Can Make the UN Sustainable Development Goals a Reality\n\nThe clock is ticking. We have until 2030 to implement the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals if we are to achieve a “better and more sustainable future for all.” \n\nLaw plays a crucial role in reaching ambitious goals such as ‘No Poverty’ (SDG #1)\, ‘Affordable and Clean Energy’ (#7) and ‘Climate Action’ (#13). But until now\, the role of law in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals has been limited to public international law and relations between nations. Missing from the commentary has been the vital role to be played by private law\, particularly private international law\, which is essential for the implementation of cross-border contracts and the resolution of cross-border disputes. \nAn exciting new project brings together a team of legal experts from around the world to demonstrate how private international law can make each Sustainable Development Goal a reality. \nJoin some of these pioneering legal minds as they discuss the results of their research and the path ahead for our world. \n\n\n\n\nOrder of proceedings\n  \n\n1. Introduction to the SDGs and the project\nProfessor Verónica Ruiz Abou-Nigm and Mr Hans Van Loon \nThese presentations will address the sustainable development goals\, the interaction of and issues presented by private international law\, and the objectives and recommendations of the project. \n2. SDG 9: Industry\, Innovation and Infrastructure\nProfessor Vivienne Bath \nThis presentation will address the impact on\, and interaction of private international law with\, the construction and operation of sustainable infrastructure and the potential role of regulatory private international law. \n3. SDG 15: Life on Land\nDr Drossos Stamboulakis \nThis presentation considers the global governance role that private international law can\, and arguable should\, play in achieving SDG 15 through the facilitation and incentivization of private action geared at environmental protection and sustainability. Chapter written by Dr Stamboulakis and Professor Jay Sanderson. \nChair\nAssociate Professor Stacie Strong \n  \n\nSpeakers\n  \n\nProfessor Verónica Ruiz Abou-Nigm is Senior Lecturer in International Private Law at Edinburgh Law School. Professionally qualified as a solicitor in Uruguay\, with extensive practice in international litigation\, her research focuses on the intersections between private international law and various other disciplines\, within and beyond law\, including maritime law and migration studies. Her scholarship promotes the transnational mobilisation of private international law\, developing knowledge in which private international law can foster intercultural integration\, contributing to accommodate different legal traditions and cultures in cross-border cases. \n\n\nMr Hans Van Loon is an independent international consultant. He is a member and vice-president of the Institut de droit international. He practiced as a lawyer before the Supreme Court of the Netherlands and the European Court of Human Rights\, and was as a deputy judge in the Hague District Court.

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 as given whereas we treat others as 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 of social possibility: social possibility as constraint and social possibility as 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 Nadarajalingam 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: 6-7.30pm AEDT \nThis is an online event. You will receive Zoom details closer to the day of the event. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

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 by 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 ‘One Sydney\, Many People’ Indigenous Strategy. \nEarlier this year the Law School declared its support for the 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\n‘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: ‘Indigenous Women\, Outlaw Culture and the Law’\,  delivered by Associate Professor Nicole Watson. \nCPD Points: 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: ‘Yanhambabirra Burambabirra Yalbailinya‘ (Come\, Share and Learn) 2020 by Luke Penrith for the One Sydney Many People Strategy.

SUMMARY:Cross-border flow of personal data: globalized Internet and fragmented (inter)national regulations
DESCRIPTION:Cross-border flow of personal data: globalized Internet and fragmented (inter)national regulations\nPersonal data is the fuel of the digital economy. However\, in the globalised world of personal data being used over the Internet\, there is a lack of harmonized international governance mechanisms. A typical example is the ideological\, legal and functional divergence in data regulations between countries in the Asia-Pacific region. \nThis webinar will explore the conflicts and challenges brought by globalized Internet and fragmented international regulations. Using a comparative-law and multilayered approach\, it aims to analyze the potential for future law reform. \nSpeakers and topics\n\nDr Robert Walters\, Victoria University\n\nThe Evolution of Data Protection Law and Cross Border Data Flows in the New Digital Economy. \nThis paper examines the role personal data plays in the evolving digital economy. From its beginning as a rights-based concept\, data was regulated to protect the privacy of individuals over the Internet. Yet\, today\, increasingly as technology evolves this data is being a core component of trade\, business\, law enforcement\, national security\, defense amongst others. This paper explores the rights-based approach to regulating data. It further examines the value of the trade in data\, and how that data is increasingly being used in sectors such as agriculture\, environment\, consumer – customer\, health and education\, transport and infrastructure [ITC]. On the backdrop of the above\, the paper will address a further accentuating question as to how far\, if at all\, the cross-border data flows are being considered in the area of national security and defense. It proposes a way forward by establishing an international harmonised policy approach that\, will assist with future law reform between all nation states. \n\nMr Ken Dai\, Dentons China\n\nRegulatory Restrictions on Cross-border Data Transfer under PIPL and DSL in China. \nWith the enactment of the PRC Data Security Law (DSL) and Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)\, China has provided the regulatory requirements on dealing with data cross-border\, including the important data and personal data. The proposed discussion will focus on how China has developed the enforcement regime of data cross-border transfer and the impact (such as more data localization setting and the procedure of handling security assessment under certain circumstances) of such arrangement on business operation in Chinese market. \nGraduated from the University of Bristol in the UK\, Ken Dai is one of the pioneering lawyers in China practicing in the area of data protection. Since 2012\, he has been offering professional legal services upon the application and enforcement policies of relevant laws in data and privacy protection sphere for multinational corporations and large-scale enterprises\, including: (1) reviewing and revising privacy policies\, (2) advising on the data protection & privacy issues pertain to employment\, (3) issuing compliance opinions upon cross-border transfer of data\, (4) analysing the feasibility of business modes from the perspective of data and privacy protection\, (5) advising on the data protection & privacy issues pertain to cross-border litigation\, arbitration and investigation\, (6) advising on the legislation and enforcement trend of data protection & privacy\, and cybersecurity\, (7) advising on the intersection between data and competition. Ken was ranked as one of the “Client Choice Top 20 Lawyers” by Asian Legal Business (ALB) in 2014 and 2017\, and as Competition Lawyer of the Year in China by Corporate INTL in 2017. \n\nProfessor Leon Trakman\, University of New South Wales\n\nRegulating Data Flows in the Digital Economy: Ideological\, Legal and Functional Divergence. \nA formidable challenge for national and international regulators is to develop a compatible legal regime to regulate cross border data flows. Their obstacle is to respond to ideological\, legal and functional divergence over data protection across national boundaries. Their task is to remedy the aberrant consequences of regulatory inertia and inconsistency in regulating data flows efficiently and fairly. This presentation explores these obstacles and challenges. It concludes with possible pathways to ensure greater legal harmonisation across nation states. \nModerator\nAssociate Professor Jie (Jeanne) Huang\, Sydney Law School \n  \nFriday 22 October 2021\, 1-2pm AEDT \nYou will receive Zoom details closer to the date of the event. \n  \nThis event is sponsored by the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law at the Sydney Law School. \n  \nBanner image source: Canva

SUMMARY:20th International Arbitration lecture
DESCRIPTION:20th International Arbitration lectureParallel proceedings in international arbitration: theoretical analysis and search for practical solutions\nSpeaker: Salim Moollan QC\n\nAbout the lecture\nThe annual International Arbitration lecture\, presented by Clayton Utz and supported by the University of Sydney Law School\, brings together key figures in international arbitration and the Australian business community to explore the real issues that could affect their international operations\, and how international dispute resolution can contribute to their bottom line. \n2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the International Arbitration Lecture series\, which continues to attract guest speakers from the four corners of the world to give their insights into the challenges facing international arbitration. \nTopic\nParallel proceedings in international arbitration: theoretical analysis and search for practical solutions\nFifteen years have elapsed since the last major effort at analysing the problems arising from parallel proceedings in international arbitration and looking for solutions thereto. This lecture\, which will in part be based on Mr Moollan’s recently delivered Hague Lectures on the topic\, will aim to take a fresh look at this topic – folding in\, inter alia\, the substantial development of investment arbitration during that period and the new issues which this has given rise to. \nAbout the speaker\nSalim Moollan QC specialises in international commercial and investment arbitration.

SUMMARY:Climate extremes on the road to Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:Climate extremes on the road to Glasgow\n\nRecent climate-induced extreme weather events and disasters around the world have resulted in loss of life\, property\, infrastructure and livelihoods and have severely disrupted the normal functioning of the societies which they have impacted. \nThe IPCC’s 2021 Sixth Assessment Report confirms that these events are likely to become more frequent and more intense as greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures rise. \nYet international climate change negotiations have delivered outcomes that are entirely inadequate to meet the goal set by the Parties to the Paris Agreement of keeping the rise in average global temperatures below 2 degrees C above pre-industrial temperatures. \nThe question is what we can expect to be resolved at the negotiations in Glasgow. \n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n\nTime\nPresentation\n\n\n6-6.15pm\nWelcome and Introduction by Professor Rosemary Lyster\, Sydney Law School\n\n\n6.15 – 6.35pm\n‘Climate change and our land of extremes’\, presented by Professor David Karoly\, Climate Science Centre\, CSIRO\n\n\n6.35 – 6.55pm\n‘Impacts of the changing climate extremes on Australia’s natural and human systems’\, presented by Professor Lesley Hughes\, Macquarie University\n\n\n6.55 – 7.15pm\n‘The Global Investment response to the Paris Agreement: Accelerated Engagement driving Rapid Change’\, presented by Martijn Wilder AM\, Founding Partner\, Pollination.\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the speakers:\n\n\nProfessor David Karoly\, Climate Science Centre\, CSIRO \nDavid Karoly is a Chief Research Scientist in the CSIRO Climate Science Centre.

SUMMARY:Private International Law and Intellectual Property: the ILA Kyoto Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:Private International Law and Intellectual Property: the ILA Kyoto Guidelines\nIn 2020\, the 79th Conference of the International Law Association passed the Resolution 6/2020 and adopted the Guidelines on Intellectual Property and Private International Law (‘Kyoto Guidelines‘). \nThe Guidelines are part of international efforts to establish a cooperative global system for jurisdiction\, choice of law\, and judgment recognition and enforcement in transnational IP disputes. They apply to civil and commercial matters involving IP rights that are connected to more than one State. \nIn this webinar\, we invite distinguished professors from Japan\, Republic of Korea and Australia to discuss the contents\, implications\, and challenges of the Guidelines in regulating complicated IP disputes. \nSpeakers:\nProfessor Toshiyuki Kono (Kyushu University\, Japan) \nThe background and significance of the ILA Kyoto Guidelines 2020 \nThe ILA Kyoto Guidelines were adopted in December 2020 at the General Assembly of the ILA. I will explain why and how the initiative to create the Kyoto Guidelines started 10 years ago and what its significance is under the current circumstances\, especially after the adoption of the Convention for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters in 2019. The ILA Kyoto Guidelines adopted innovative approaches. Hence\, a few selected provisions will be explained in detail which include laws applicable to initial ownership and ubiquitous infringement. \nProfessor Gyooho Lee (Chung-Ang University\, Republic of Korea) \nLaws applicable to transferability of an intellectual property right and employment contracts under ILA Guidelines \nTransferability of an intellectual property right is the law of the State for which protection is sought (Article 19 of ILA Guidelines). In this context\, a Korean case will be discussed (Seoul High Court on June 25\, 2020\, Case No. 2019 Na 2013948)\, whose main focus is which law is applicable to split-off of a company. My argument is that\, in this case\, lex loci protection is is the law applicable to transferability of shares of copyright co-owners. Also\, my presentation will deal with applicable laws in connection with employment contracts under Article 23 of ILA Guidelines. In this context\, it will discuss the Korean Supreme Court Decision on 15 January\, 2015 (Case No. 2012 Da 4763)\, which held that the grant of a free non-exclusive licence to an employer by operation of law would be governed by the law applicable to the employment relationship. \nProfessor Vivienne Bath (Sydney Law School\, Australia) \nKyoto Guidelines and injunction in transnational standard essential patents and parallel patent infringement disputes \nThe paper will look at the possibilities presented by the Kyoto Guidelines in view of the current controversy about jurisdiction over rate-setting for standard essential patents and parallel patent infringement cases. \nModerator:\n\nAssociate Professor Jie (Jeanne) Huang (Sydney Law School) \n  \n\n\n——————————————————————————- \nAn English and Chinese translation of the Guideline can be downloaded from here. \nFlow chat of the Guidelines can be downloaded from here. \n——————————————————————————- \n\n\n  \nWebinar time: 3-4pm AEDT \nYou will receive Zoom details closer to the date of the event. \n  \n       \nThis event is jointly sponsored by the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law at the Sydney Law School and International Law Association (Australian Branch). \n  \n(Image sourced from Canva.)

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 ‘political’ theory (what he calls the ‘fidelity requirement’). The paper then defends two claims: first\, that the ‘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 Opacic 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: 6-7.30pm \nThis is an online event. Once you register you will receive the Zoom details. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Law's People
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Law’s People\nSpeaker: Dr Susan Bartie\, University of Tasmania\nAlice Erh-Soon Tay 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 in Free Hands and Minds (Hart\, 2019) and American Legal Education Abroad – Critical Histories (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 Bartie 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: 6-7.30pm \nThis is an online event. Once you register you will receive the Zoom details. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Unilateralism in (International) Economic Law: the Case of Special Economic Zones
DESCRIPTION:Unilateralism in (International) Economic Law: the Case of Special Economic Zones\n\nThe international economic regime has entered a new phase of reassertion of sovereignty by States. This phase is especially prominent amid the COVID-19 pandemic. \nWhile States continue to show respect for the values of international (economic) law\, the institutionalization of these values has devolved from the international (to the regional) to the domestic level of governance. A new form of ‘unilateral economic law’ is thus gaining importance in the development of international and domestic laws and institutions. \nThis seminar aims to celebrate the launch of the special issue of Journal of International Economic Law on unilateral economic law focusing on Special Economic Zones. \nWe have engaged leading experts from Qatar\, the UK\, India\, and Hong Kong China: \n\n\nSpeakers\nAssociate Professor Georgios Dimitropoulos at the Hamad Bin Khalifa University: ‘Special Economic Zones in International Economic Law: Towards Unilateral Economic Law’ \nPrincipal Researcher Lorenzo Cotula at the International Institute for Environment and Development and Dr Liliane Mouan at the Coventry University: ‘Labour Rights in Special Economic Zones: Between Unilateralism and Transnational Law Diffusion’ \nProfessor James J.

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 ‘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 Lino 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. Once you register you will receive the Zoom details. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: What is the point of going to school?
DESCRIPTION:JSI seminar: What is the point of going to school?\nSpeaker: 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 Ferracioli 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.

SUMMARY:Global Food Governance Conference
DESCRIPTION:Global Food Governance Conference\nThis year\, the Food Governance Node at the Charles Perkins Centre (The University of Sydney) and the George Institute for Global Health have partnered with the Global Center for Legal Innovation on Food Environments (Georgetown University Law Center) to organise the Global Food Governance Conference. \nThis conference\, to be held online December 14 to 16 2021 from 6am-11am AEDT\, will bring together lawyers\, policymakers\, nutritionists\, and health scientists to explore how law\, policy\, and regulation can help address food system challenges at the local\, national\, regional\, and global levels. \nAbout the conference\nMalnutrition\, climate change\, globalisation\, and trade patterns profoundly shape the global food system. These challenges\, along with rapid population growth\, have compromised the ability of food systems to deliver safe\, nutritious\, sustainable\, and equitable foods\, in turn impacting the fulfillment of fundamental human rights. \nThrough a broad and interdisciplinary approach\, the Global Food Governance Conference will consider how legislative\, regulatory\, and policy regimes impede or facilitate access to safe\, nutritious\, sustainable\, and equitable food. The conference will explore issues such as (1) food security\, safety\, and sustainability\, (2) the promotion of healthier diets\, addressing both under and over-nourishment\, including diet-related risk factors for non-communicable diseases\, (3) equity and social justice in global food systems\, including human rights-based approaches\, and (4) Indigenous food systems governance. \nHoping to highlight the interrelationships between the main challenges facing the global food system in the 21st century\, this conference also aims to create new opportunities for collaborations that promote access to healthy and sustainable food for all. \nConfirmed speakers\n\nNamukolo Covic\, Senior Research Coordinator\, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)\nNicholas Freudenberg\, Distinguished Professor of Public Health\, City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy\nAmandine Garde\, Professor of Law\, University of Liverpool\nCarlos Monteiro\, Professor of Nutrition and Public Health\, School of Public Health\, University of Sao Paulo\, Brazil\nMaximo Torero\, Chief Economist\, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).\n\n  \nRegistration\n\nFull Conference Fee (3 days): $100 USD\nFull Single Day Fee: $30 USD\nDiscounted Full Conference Fee: $50 USD (Students\, civil society members\, unwaged\, and researchers/academics based in low- and middle-income countries)\nDiscounted Single Day Fee: $15 USD (Students\, civil society members\, unwaged\, and researchers/academics based in low- and middle-income countries)\n\nThere will also be an option to request a complete fee waiver.
