SUMMARY:Peace in the Ancient Near East: Insights into the world's first attested peace treaty
DESCRIPTION:Peace in the Ancient Near East: Insights into the world’s first attested peace treaty\nIn-person event\n \nThis seminar gives some background to the first attested peace treaty in world history\, between Ramses II of Egypt and Hattusili III of Hatti. This treaty survives in several copies\, in two languages (Ancient Egyptian and Akkadian) and in two countries (Egypt and Turkey). This seminar will explain some of the provisions of the treaty and also examine some of the treaty’s more unusual aspects\, for instance\, that its formation was not a direct consequence of conflict\, and that not all of its articles are bilateral. \nAbout the author:\nDr Camilla Di Biase-Dyson \nA Sydneysider with a passion for Ancient Egypt since childhood\, Dr Camilla Di Biase-Dyson has BA(Hons) and PhD degrees in Ancient History from Macquarie University (2000-2008). She moved to Berlin to conduct postdoctoral research in Egyptology and linguistics\, first as a Fellow of the Excellence Cluster ‘Topoi: The Formation and Transformation of Space and Knowledge in Ancient Civilizations’ (2009-2010) and then with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2010-2012). Following this\, she was Junior Professor for Egyptology at the Georg-August University in Göttingen\, Germany (2012-2019)\, then a Research Fellow at the University of Vienna (2019-2020). In April 2020sheI moved back to Sydney to take up a Lectureship in Egyptology at Macquarie University. \n  \nWednesday 15 May\, 1-2pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Centre for International Law at the University of Sydney Law School

SUMMARY:How China governs Big Tech and regulates artificial intelligence
DESCRIPTION:How China governs Big Tech and regulates artificial intelligence\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nChina has long been recognized as a powerhouse in cultivating Big Tech firms that rival those in the United States. However\, the Chinese government recently embarked on a massive regulatory crackdown\, targeting its largest tech corporations such as Alibaba\, Tencent\, and Meituan.  Many Western experts have perceived China’s tech crackdown as the government’s assault on private businesses\, causing growing doubts among investors whether Chinese firms are still investable. \nIn this talk\, Professor Zhang will take us beyond the headlines to unravel the complexity of China’s regulatory governance. Drawing insights from her newly released book\, High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy\, she will introduce the dynamic pyramid model of regulation\, a new analytical framework that demystifies Chinese regulatory governance. \nProfessor Zhang will also apply this model to analyze China’s strategic approach to regulating artificial intelligence and discuss its implications for the global tech rivalry and the prospects for international cooperation.  Join Professor Zhang as she uncovers how China regulates on the high wire by navigating the intricate balance between innovation\, regulation and geopolitical contest. \nAbout the speaker \nAngela Zhang is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Hong Kong and Director of the Philip K. H. Wong Center for Chinese Law. Widely recognized as a leading authority on China’s tech regulation\, Angela has written extensively on this topic. She is the author of Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism: How the Rise of China Challenges Global Regulation (Oxford\, 2021)\, which was named one of the Best Political Economy Books of 2021 by ProMarket. Angela’s second book\, High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy was released by Oxford University Press in March 2024. In fall 2024\, Angela will join the University of Southern California as a Professor of Law. For more information\, please visit her website at AngelaZhang.net\, and follow her on Twitter @AngelaZhangHK. \n  \nMonday 6 May\nTime: 1-2pm \nCPD Points: 1 \nVenue: Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law and the China Studies Centre at the University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:How Canada Chose Exile: The decision to banish Japanese Canadians\, 1946
DESCRIPTION:How Canada Chose Exile: The decision to banish Japanese Canadians\, 1946\nThis event is proudly co-presented by the University of Sydney Law School and Discipline of History.\nIn-person event\n \nAs the end of the Second World War drew into view\, federal officials in Canada faced a policy problem of their own creation. They had displaced over 22\,000 people of Japanese descent from their Pacific Coast communities and dispossessed them of their homes. With the scale of Nazi crimes in Europe increasingly known\, mass internment of people on the basis of race had become unsustainable. Yet\, many remained convinced that Japanese Canadians were “unassimilable” in Canadian society on the basis of race. To resolve the problem of internment\, Canadian officials devised a new harm\, seeking to banish to Japan as many as possible so that the diminished number left behind could be allowed to live freely. This presentation explores Canada’s tangled path to exile amidst the dramatic shifts and stubborn continuities of the close of the Second World War. Seeking to situate Canada’s exile within a global history of the unmixing of peoples in the 1940s\, the paper will close in reflection on Australia’s own expulsion of people of Japanese descent in the same era. \nAbout the author:\nJordan Stanger-Ross is Professor of History at the University of Victoria\, British Columbia. His past publications include Landscapes of Injustice: A New Perspective on the Internment and Dispossession of Japanese Canadians (2020) which received the John T. Saywell Prize in Canadian Constitutional Legal History. \n  \nFriday 3 May\, 1-2pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is proudly co-presented by the University of Sydney Law School and Discipline of History.

SUMMARY:Informers Up Close: Stories From Communist Prague
DESCRIPTION:Informers Up Close: Stories From Communist Prague\nIn-person event \nInformers are generally reviled. After all\, ‘snitches get stitches’. Informers who report to repressive regimes are particularly disdained. While informers may themselves be victims enlisted by the state\, their actions cause other individuals to suffer significant harm. Informers\, then\, are central to the proliferation of endemic human rights abuses. Yet\, little is known about exactly why ordinary people end up informing on—at times betraying—other people to state authorities. Through a case study of Communist Czechoslovakia (1945-1989) that draws from secret police archives\, oral histories\, and a broad gamut of secondary sources\, this book unearths what fuels informers to speak to the secret police in repressive times and considers how transitional justice should approach informers once repression ends. \nThis book – co-authored with Barbora Holá — unravels the complex drivers behind informing and the dynamics of societal reactions to informing. It explores the agency of both informers and secret police officers. By presenting informers up close\, and the relationships between informers and secret police officers in high resolution\, this book centers the role of emotions in informer motivations and underscores the value of dignity and reconciliation in transitional reconstruction. This book also leverages research from informing in repressive states to better understand informing in so-called liberal democratic states\, which\, after all\, also rely on informers to maintain law and preserve order. \nAbout the author:\nMark A. Drumbl is the Class of 1975 Alumni Professor and Director\, Transnational Law Institute\, at Washington and Lee University. He has held visiting appointments and has taught intensive courses at law schools world-wide\, including Queen’s University Belfast\, Oxford University (University College)\, Université de Paris II (Panthéon-Assas)\, Free University of Amsterdam\, University of Melbourne\, and John Cabot University in Rome. His work has been relied upon by courts; he has served as defense lawyer in genocide trials; and has been an expert in litigation including on international terrorism\, with the United Nations in matters involving child soldiers\, and the drafting of a global convention to criminalize racist hate speech. Books include Atrocity\, Punishment\, and International Law (CUP\, 2007)\, Reimagining Child Soldiers in International Law and Policy (OUP\, 2012)\, and Informers Up Close: Stories from Communist Prague (OUP 2024\, with Barbora Holá); and co-edited volumes Research Handbook of Child Soldiers (Elgar 2019\, with Jastine Barrett); Sights\, Sounds\, and Sensibilities of Atrocity Prosecutions (Brill\, 2024\, with Caroline Fournet)\, and Children and Violence (Routledge 2024\, with Christelle Molima\, Mohamed Kamara et al). \n  \nTuesday 30 April\, 1-2pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Centre for International Law at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar | Dominium in the Age of Neurotechnologies: Who Is the Subject of Neurorights?
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar | Dominium in the Age of Neurotechnologies: Who Is the Subject of Neurorights?In-person event\n\nMany scholars expressed concerns about how potential misuse of neurotechnologies may threaten some basic rights such as right to privacy\, freedom of thought\, freedom from self-incrimination\, right to fair trial\, prohibition of discrimination\, etc. In order to ensure an effective protection against these potential threats concrete proposals\, such as reconceptualizing already existing rights or creating new rights\, are set forth. Nevertheless\, the academic debate on how to effectively protect the domain of cognitive liberty from potential violations is conducted without an open discussion on who should be the subject of neurorights. This is not surprising at the first glance\, for there is a quasi-unanimity on the content of the notion of “human” as the subject of human rights. The proposed categories of neurorights\, especially that of cognitive liberty do not contradict the existing human rights concept in this respect.\n\nThe recently flourishing scholarship on the history of human rights\, however\, offers a critical study of the abstract concept of human as the subject of human rights. The present paper\, in line with this scholarship\, attempts to introduce a historiographic perspective to the debate on neurorights by asking whether the concept of human as maintained in the theory of human rights is suitable for defining a subject of rights in the age of neurotechnologies. First\, the paper offers a historical account on how the concept of human was formed theoretically at the dawn of modernity. Secondly it explains the concept of dominium from a historical perspective and links it to the modern theory of human rights. Finally\, it discusses whether neurotechnologies present a challenge to the theoretical constellation around the subject of human rights originating from the notion of dominium.\nAbout the speaker:\nOzan Erözden holds a PhD in public law from the University of Istanbul (1996). Before joining Kadir Has University Faculty of Law he held permanent lecturer positions at Istanbul University Law Faculty\, Yıldız Technical University\, Department of Political Science and International Relations and at MEF University Law Faculty. Between 1998 and 2001 he worked as human rights observer within the OSCE mission to Croatia. Between March 2006 and September 2007 he conducted research at the International Criminal Law Institute of Cologne University as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow.\n\nHe participated in two different international scientific projects\, namely Blue-Bird (funded by UNDP and coordinated by Central European University) and JURISTAS (funded by European Commission under the 6th Framework Programme)\, as well as a national one (TÃœBÄ°TAK 1001). Erözden’s published works relate mainly to theory of state\, theories of nationalism\, human rights\, transitional justice and philosophy of law. His current area of research is the interaction between neuroscience and legal theory.\n\n \nMonday 15 April 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus\n\nCPD Points: 1.5\n\nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Responding to repression and strengthening human rights systems | In conversation with Human Rights Watch's Tirana Hassan
DESCRIPTION:Responding to Repression and Strengthening Human Rights Systems | In conversation with Human Rights Watch’s Tirana Hassan\nIn-person event \nThe last few years have seen extensive human rights suppression and wartime atrocities. Selective government outrage and transactional diplomacy has carried profound costs for the rights of those not in on the deal. The drivers of these human rights crises and their consequences often transcend borders and cannot be solved by governments acting alone. Understanding and responding to these threats needs to be rooted in universal principles of international human rights and the rule of law. These ideas built on shared human histories agreed upon by nations across all regions 75 years ago in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, the basis for all contemporary human rights conventions and treaties. \nThis foundation is needed now more than ever. But this very system we rely on to protect the human rights of people everywhere is under threat. Every time a government overlooks or rejects these universal and globally accepted principles\, someone pays a price – in freedoms and liberties\, in their health or livelihood\, and at times their lives. Australia grapples with the far-reaching arm of transnational repression while at the same time it chooses to sacrifice human rights in the name of military alliances\, enabling autocrats\, particularly across the Southeast Asia region\, to erode the independence of key institutions vital for protecting human rights. \nThese topics will be traversed in a conversation between Human Rights Watch’s Executive Director Tirana Hassan\, and the University of Sydney’s Ben Saul. \nAbout the speakers:\nTirana Hassan is Executive Director at Human Rights Watch\, one of the world’s leading international human rights organizations\, which operates in more than 90 countries and has over 500 staff members. \nTirana specializes in human rights protection in conflicts and crises. Prior to becoming Human Rights Watch’s Executive Director\, Tirana served as director of Amnesty International’s Crisis Response Program and served on the organization’s interim executive team. Between 2010-2015\, Tirana worked as a senior researcher in Human Rights Watch’s Emergencies Division. She has worked with various non-governmental organizations including Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)\, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and Save the Children. Tirana was a founding member of a refugee legal service in Australia in the early 2000s. \nShe has carried out and lead teams of investigations in the Middle East\, South and Southeast Asia\, as well as East and West Africa. She has authored reports and op-eds for major publications worldwide. \nTirana graduated with honors degrees in both social work and law in Australia and holds a master’s in international human rights law from Oxford University. \nModerator \nProfessor Ben Saul is Challis Chair of International Law at The University of Sydney and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism. \nFriday 12 April\, 12.30-2pm AEDT\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Centre for International Law at The University of Sydney Law School and Human Rights Watch.

SUMMARY:Revisiting the Role and Relevance of the 'The Right to Strike'
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting the Role and Relevance of the ‘The Right to Strike’\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nIn 2023\, the University of Bristol Centre for Law at Work (UK) joined forces with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)\, and International Lawyers Assisting Workers (ILAW) Network at the Solidarity Center (Washington DC\, US) to commence a project on the right to strike. In the context of the notorious decline in legal protection of industrial action across the globe\, the project explores what role the right to strike could and should play in contemporary domestic and transnational labour markets. \nA first convening meeting for the project has been held\, which more than forty experts attended in person and online. One output of the project is a special issue of a journal (the International Labour Review) and a second will be an open access multi-authored book designed to be accessible to those seeking to engage in right to strike litigation and lobbying. Both will be published early in 2025. A website is also being constructed by the ITUC and ILAW which will host primary legal materials (international labour standards\, national legislation and case law) of assistance to workers and their representatives. \nIn this seminar\, Professor Tonia Novitz will present some of the initial findings of the project relating to issues of employment status\, precarious work\, global supply chains\, climate change and autocratic governments. She will also outline the content of recent discussions at the International Labour Organisation\, where she has been a visiting scholar in the research department. In addition\, Professor Shae McCrystal will discuss her contribution to the project\, arising from her collaborative research on restrictions of the right to strike for the ‘public good’\, including the mechanisms through which decisions are made and who bears the costs of their outcomes. This session will be of interest to all those interested in international labour standards and comparative labour law relating to freedom of association\, collective bargaining and industrial action. \nAbout the speaker \nTonia Novitz is a Professor of Labour Law at the University of Bristol Law School in the UK. A graduate of the University of Canterbury (Christchurch\, New Zealand) and Balliol College (Oxford\, UK)\, she has held fellowships at the International Institute for Labour Studies and the research department at the International Labour Organization (Geneva)\, the European University Institute (Florence)\, the University of Melbourne and the University of Auckland. From 2019 – 2023\, she was chair of the steering committee of the international Labour Law Research Network (LLRN). She is currently a UK representative on the advisory board of International Lawyers Assisting Workers (ILAW)\, and a Vice President of the UK Institute of Employment Rights. She was a founding co-director of the Bristol Centre for Law at Work. Her research interests encompass collective labour rights\, international and EU trade\, sustainability and migration. Her publications have been cited in the Supreme Court of Canada\, the UK Supreme Court and the UK Parliament Joint Committee on Human Rights. She is the author of International and European Protection of the Right to Strike (Oxford University Press 2003) and co-author of The Right to Strike in International Law (Hart/Bloomsbury 2020). Her most recent book\, Trade\, Labour and Sustainable Development: Leaving no one in the world of work behind is in press and will be published by Edward Elgar in 2024. \n\n\nMonday 11 March\nTime: 1.15-2.15pm \nCPD Points: 1 \nVenue: Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:2024 ACCEL Environmental Law Year in Review: Spotlighting Climate Change\, Nature Repair\, Transport\, and Greenwashing
DESCRIPTION:2024 ACCEL Environmental Law Year in Review: Spotlighting Climate Change\, Nature Repair\, Transport\, and Greenwashing\nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to its Environmental Law Year in Review Conference on 8 March 2024. \nIn Australia and around the world\, 2023 was a significant year for climate and environmental law reform. To keep 1.5°C within reach\, COP28 called on governments to ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels. An ambitious environmental agenda was pursued by the Australian Government\, including reforming the Safeguard Mechanism and advancing a framework to require financial risk disclosures related to climate change. \nBiodiversity loss and the risk of ecosystem collapse continued to drive a variety of developments. The global Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures finalised a voluntary framework to assist organisations in reporting and acting on nature-related issues. A groundbreaking legal opinion also highlighted the need for directors to consider nature-related risks. The Australian Government passed the Nature Repair Act 2023\, creating the framework for a voluntary national nature repair market\, and consulted on complex changes to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999\, including the establishment of a new national environment authority – Environment Protection Australia. \nMeanwhile\, the High Court\, in a 4:3 decision\, held that the Victorian electric vehicle road user charge was unconstitutional\, raising broader questions about road infrastructure funding and the role of states in transport decarbonisation. Regulatory action on greenwashing surged\, with increasing scrutiny by the ACCC and ASIC of company sustainability and climate-related claims. ASIC’s case against Mercer marked a historic moment\, and greenwashing continues to be a focus of strategic climate litigation\, including by Greenpeace. \nThis event will bring together academics\, practitioners\, members of the NGO sector\, government officials and students to hear about the implications of these ‘once in a generation’ developments in climate and environmental law.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar | European Émigré Legal Scholars in Australian Law Schools: Julius Stone's Circle
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar | European Émigré Legal Scholars in Australian Law Schools: Julius Stone’s CircleIn-person event\n\nDuring and immediately after World War II\, some Australian law schools had the opportunity to rescue European émigré legal scholars fleeing persecution and fascism. Overwhelmingly\, Australian universities did not become shelters for refugee intellectuals\, despite the extraordinary efforts of some individuals and agencies supporting them. Nevertheless\, some émigré legal scholars did come to Australia\, some gained positions in Australian universities\, and they prompted a significant transformation in legal pedagogy and research.\n\nMark Lunney has remarked that the influence of European émigré scholars on Australian law is a “forgotten history”.[1] Part of a larger collaborative project that aims to retrieve that history\, this paper details the contributions of émigré scholars in the Department of International Law and Jurisprudence at the University of Sydney under Julius Stone’s leadership. Building upon the existing scholarship on Stone’s influence in Australia\, this paper examines other individuals within Stone’s circle\, including Ilmar Tammelo\, Otto Bondy and Charles Alexandrowicz. It also explores the role of the Australian Society of Legal Philosophy\, which was established to offer sanctuary and intellectual camaraderie for émigré legal scholars.\n\nDrawing upon archival records\, unpublished sources and interviews with former students of the Department\, the paper offers a case study of the network of jurists based at the University of Sydney in order to investigate the impact of migration on Australian legal institutions\, education and practice.\n\nThe project\, and perhaps also this paper\, will introduce a wider cohort of characters that have influenced the development of Australian jurisprudence and legal education. In particular\, it will allow for a richer understanding the aftermath of the Second World War as a key moment of transformation in the legal institutions and cultures in Australia.\n\n[1] See Mark Lunney ‘Legal Emigres and the Development of Australian Tort Law’ 36(2) Melbourne University Law Review 494\, 495.\nAbout the speaker:\nKatherine Biber is a legal scholar\, historian and criminologist\, and Professor of Law at the University of Technology Sydney\, where she specialises in the law of evidence. She is author of In Crime’s Archive: The Cultural Afterlife of Evidence (Routledge\, 2019) and Captive Images: Race\, Crime\, Photography (Routledge\, 2004). Her recent co-edited collections include Law’s Documents (with Trish Luker and Priya Vaughan\, Routledge 2022) and Evidence and the Archive (with Trish Luker\, Routledge\, 2017). She is currently writing The Last Outlaws\, a legal history of Australia’s last proclaimed outlaws\, the brothers Jimmy and Joe Governor. Her research on the journeys and legacies of European émigré lawyers in Australia is part of a collaborative research project with Eloise Chandler\, Sara Dehm and Ana Vrdoljak.\n\n \nThursday 7 March 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEDT\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus\n\nCPD Points: 1.5\n\nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Research launch | Let's talk about confidentiality: NDA use in sexual harassment settlements
DESCRIPTION:Research launch | Let’s talk about confidentiality: NDA use in sexual harassment settlements\nIn-person event \nJoin us for the launch of research by our first Social Justice Pratitioners in Residence (SJPIR) (jointly held by Sharmilla Bargon of Redfern Legal Centre and Regina Featherstone of the Human Rights Law Centre). \nAfter joining the law school in August 2023\, Regina and Sharmilla set out to investigate the impacts of the Respect@Work Report around non-disclosure agreement (NDA) use in workplace sexual harassment disputes. They have produced a research report on the prevalence of NDA use and heard from lawyers and barristers on their experiences with NDAs of all shapes and sizes in settlement negotiations. This report also examines the rise of defamation responses to sexual harassment complaints and considers contractual enforceability of NDA terms. While legislative reform is one model to approach regulating NDA use\, their report considers lawyers’ professional obligations as a largely unexplored avenue for reform. \n  \nWednesday 6 March\, 5.30-7.30pm AEDT\nVenue: New Law Building (F10)\, Level 2\, Law Foyer\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:China as a Development Model for the Global South: Opportunities and Limits
DESCRIPTION:China as a Development Model for the Global South: Opportunities and Limits\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nWith its remarkable economic success\, China could be regarded by countries in the Global South as presenting a development model that is easier to emulate than that of Western developed countries. In this paper\, we examine to what extent the Chinese model\, which China calls “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics\,” could be regarded as a universal truth for the Global South. We start with two key features of the Chinese model: its export-oriented growth model\, which reversed its import-substitution model that communist China practiced in the first 30 years under Mao\, and can still be found in many developing countries; and its extensive use of industrial policy that relies heavily on state-owned enterprises and government subsidies\, in contrast to the more market-oriented model in Western countries. \nIn addition\, we discuss two new areas of development that illustrate the complexity and adaptability of China’s heterodox approach to development: the phenomenal growth of its e-commerce sector\, despite its longstanding censorship regime; and its sustainable development policies\, as illustrated with its recent experience in climate adaptation and energy transition. We conclude by discussing how the Chinese approach\, which combines a variety of seemingly irreconcilable approaches\, reflects another major feature: experimental pragmatism\, and what lessons it might offer to countries in the Global South. \nSpeaker \n\nProfessor Henry Gao\, Singapore Management University\n\nChair \nDavid S G Goodman is Director of the China Studies Centre\, University of Sydney\, where he is Professor of Chinese Politics. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia. Recent publications include: Local Governance in China: Structures\, variations\, and innovations Elgar 2023 (with Ceren Ergenc); Class and the Communist Party of China\, 1921-2021 (2 Vols) (with Marc Blecher\, Yingjie Guo\, Jean-Louis Rocca\, Tony Saich\, and Beibei Tang) Routledge\, 2022. \nThursday 22 February\nTime: 1-2pm \nCPD Points: 1 \nVenue: Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis event is proudly co-presented by the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law and the China Studies Centre at the University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes
DESCRIPTION:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nThe XII Amendment to Criminal Law of P.R.C adopted by the Standing Committee of People’s Congress on 29 December 2023 is guided by two principles. One is to enhance protection for private enterprises and the other is to punish offering bribes and accepting bribes equally. The reason that accepting bribes\, which has been punished ever since the foundation of P.R.C\, is stressed now is of course the serious situation of bribery. Meanwhile\, although the logic behind this is acceptable\, whether legislative purpose can be realized to a high degree depends on judicial efforts. \nJudging from typical cases and relative statistics\, I believe four principles should be observed in terms of criminal law. In the first place\, different approaches should be taken to deal with offering bribes committed by organizations and individuals. Compliance model might be a choice. Secondly\, crime and civil or administrative violation should be carefully differentiated to prevent criminal punishments from leading to undue harms. Thirdly\, the question whether public authorities can be charged with offering or accepting bribes should be answered in specific context. Finally\, more flexible systems\, such as disqualification and corporate probation\, should be considered. \nSpeaker \nProfessor Zhenjie Zhou\, Vice Dean\, Beijing Normal University School of Law\, China \nZhenjie Zhou\, Professor and Doctor of Law. He is now vice Dean of Beijing Normal University College for Criminal Law Science  He obtained his Doctor degree at the Law Institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\, and then worked at Waseda Institute for Advanced Sciences (Japan) for three years. He was visiting fellows at several internationally renowned academic institutions such as the Center for Criminology at Oxford University (UK) and Australia Research Center for Excellences at Griffith University (Australia). His academic achievements in many fields\, including fundamental principles of criminal law\, corporate crime and history of criminal law\, can be seen in books and articles he has published in Chinese\, English and Japanese\, awards from authoritative organizations such as Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Chinese Law Society and research funds supported by high level organizations such as EU and National Foundation of Stoical Sciences of China. \nCommentators\n \nPeili Ying\, Professor at the Criminal Law School of East China University of Political Science and Law\, he serves as the Vice President of the Chinese Society of Criminology\, President of the Shanghai Society of Criminology\, and President of the Social Governance Research Society of the Shanghai Law Society. His main research focus is criminology\, and he has undertaken several research projects funded by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Education. Pei Li has published over 10 academic papers and authored three monographs. \nJudy Zhou is a Consulting Solicitor of Taylor Rose Australia with dual-qualifications in both Australia and China who has a practice focus of financial and white-collar crime\, proceeds of crime litigation\, investigations and dispute resolution\, and legal advisory concerning AML/CTF and corporate compliance. Judy is also an ACAMS certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist. Having previously worked at a leading criminal defence law firm in Australia\, Judy is the winner of Lawyers Weekly 30 Under 30 Awards criminal law category\, and was nominated by Finance Monthly as the Australian White Collar Crime Defense Lawyer of the Year in 2022 and 2023. \n\nTianqi Gu received her PhD from the Sydney Law School. She is the recipient of an Australian Government Research Training Program scholarship.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insider Trading\, Fiduciary Relationships\, and Market Integrity:  A Comparative Consideration of Insider Laws of United States and Australia
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insider Trading\, Fiduciary Relationships\, and Market Integrity: A Comparative Consideration of Insider Laws of United States and Australia\nIn-person event \nThere are a variety of distinctions that exist between the Australian and US laws prohibiting insider trading. While insider trading is prohibited in Australia under an express statutory prohibition\, a broad anti-fraud provision in the US has been interpreted by courts to prohibit insider trading. Australian insider trading laws are based on the concept of an “information connection” rather than a “person connection”\, so that any person who possesses information that they know or ought reasonably to know is inside information is prohibited from trading or procuring trading in relevant financial products\, or from communicating or “tipping” that information to another person likely to do so\, in order to protect market integrity. \nHowever\, in the US\, such conduct is only illegal if it constitutes securities fraud\, meaning essentially that the trader or tipper has breached a fiduciary duty of disclosure owed either to the source of the information or to the shareholders of the securities issuer. The differing treatment of “tippers” and “tippees” in these two jurisdictions are discussed\, the varying factors that are emphasised when determining the severity of the conduct of engaging in trading or tipping are considered. The comparative relevance of the existence of a fiduciary or other close relationship both for liability to arise and as a possible aggravating factor in sentencing convicted insider traders is also addressed. \n  \nSpeakers\nProfessor Donna M. Nagy\, Indiana University Maurer School of Law—Bloomington  \nProfessor Donna M. Nagy (BA Vassar College\, JD NYU School of Law) is Executive Associate Dean and C Ben Dutton Professor of Business Law at Indiana University Maurer School of Law.  She teaches and writes in the areas of securities litigation\, securities regulation\, and corporations.

SUMMARY:Business and Human rights: Recent Developments and Comparative Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Business and Human rights: Recent Developments and Comparative Lessons\nIn-person event \nGiven that human rights abuses-linked to businesses are on the rise rather than in decline\, it is no surprise that ‘business and human rights’ remains a rapidly evolving research field. There are various national initiatives (e.g. the French loi de vigilance\, one of the pioneer laws in this field\, the new German Lieferkettengesetz or the currently ongoing review of the Modern Slavery Act in Australia). At the same time\, there are various international initiatives (e.g. the UN Guiding principles or draft of a new binding treaty at the UN Human Rights Council) with different prospects for success. The talk will analyze the most recent developments on the different legal levels (national\, regional and international) and draw comparative conclusions for the field of business and human rights. In doing so\, the talk with focus on two distinct sub-questions: corporations’ human rights obligations vis-à-vis the environment as well as corporate human rights due diligence in areas of conflict. \nAbout the speaker \nPierre Thielbörger is a Professor of Public Law and Public International Law at Ruhr University Bochum. He is also the Executive Director of the Institute for the International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV)\, Germany’s biggest research institute on armed conflicts and humanitarian crises. He serves as chairman of the General Assembly of the Network on Humanitarian Action (NOHA)\, is co-convener of the Interest Group on Human Rights of the European Society of International Law (ESIL) and sits on the advisory board of the German Institute on Human Rights. He advises the German government on all matters concerning the United Nations as well as humanitarian action and is the co-editor of several peer-reviewed journals in international law. His research field is (business and) human rights\, the law of peace and armed conflict\, ICL and transitional justice\, as well as environmental law and the law of the global commons (including water). \nTuesday 5 December 2023\, \nTime: 1-2pm AEDT \nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Centre for International Law at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Navigating the Consumer Data Right: A Business Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Navigating the Consumer Data Right: A Business Perspective\nOnline event \nThe introduction of the Consumer Data Right (‘CDR’) in Australia in 2019 heralds a new era in data governance\, with profound implications for businesses across various sectors. This world-leading initiative holds the potential to inject much-needed competition into key sectors of the economy and reinvigorate a waning commercial morality. However\, like most transformative innovations\, it is not without its challenges. One pressing concern is the need to safeguard consumer data rigorously\, without imposing regulatory burdens that might discourage new market entrants. The impact of CDR on businesses is multi-faceted\, depending on whether a business assumes the role of ‘a consumer’\, ‘a data holder’\, or ‘a data recipient’ (accredited or not). This webinar explores the complex landscape of the CDR from a business perspective\, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that arise for entities engaged in this transformative journey. \nSpeakers\n\nPresenter: Dr Natalia Jevglevskaja\, Research Fellow\, UNSW Sydney\nCommentator: Alysia Abeyratne\, Senior Manager\, Digital Policy\, DD&A | National Australia Bank Limited\nChair: Dr Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law\, Sydney Law School\n\nAbout the presenter \nNatalia is a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Law and Justice of the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney\, Australia) and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy\, UK. As a member of the Australian Research Council Laureate Project ‘The Financial Data Revolution: Seizing the Benefits\, Controlling the Risks’\, she looks at how data and technology are transforming financial services in Australia and abroad and what measures may be required in the area of data and technology governance to facilitate innovation in finance. Natalia’s research on the Consumer Data Right (‘CDR’) can be accessed here. The most recent analysis of the CDR and its potential impact on similar regimes evolving worldwide may soon be found in a monograph with Routledge (Anton Didenko\, Natalia Jevglevskaja and Ross Buckley\, Customer Data Sharing Frameworks: Twelve Lessons for the World (2024\, forthcoming)). \n——————————— \nTuesday 28 November\nTime: 6-7pm \nVenue: Online webinar \nCPD Points: 1 \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly presented by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar | Bringing law back in: Theorizing the role of law in shaping the social reproduction bargain
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar | Bringing law back in: Theorizing the role of law in shaping the social reproduction bargain\nIn-person event \nA rich interdisciplinary feminist project spanning the fields of critical political economy\, feminist economics\, geography\, migration\, sociology and social policy has long sought to theorize and make visible the role social of reproduction and reproductive labour in sustaining both life and labour power\, and its transformations\, ‘depletions’ and ‘crises’ in post-Fordist life. With some notable exceptions\, however\, much of the intensive feminist attention upon social reproduction has taken place outside of legal scholarship. This might be attributed to several general factors: a dearth of materialist-informed approaches in feminist legal theory\, legal feminists’ liberal orientations towards work\, and a greater focus on unpaid care in the family\, rather than paid reproductive labours performed in the market. In addition\, non-legal disciplines have\, for their part\, been routinely less concerned with the role of law in their accounts of social reproduction\, leaving the role of law in shaping the social reproduction bargain undertheorized. \nThis seminar paper maps a legal feminist approach to social reproduction theory. In doing so\, it articulates the constitutive and distributional role of law in shaping markets in reproductive labours\, focusing specifically on paid care and domestic work. Attention to law is important because when we focus on law’s distributional and disciplinary outcomes we can begin to imagine how different legal rules might shape them otherwise. \nAbout the speaker:\nAngela Kintominas \nAngela Kintominas is a lecturer at the Faculty of Law and Justice\, UNSW Sydney where she teaches labour law. Her research interests lie in feminist and critical approaches to work\, gender\, migration and social reproduction. She is particularly interested in the intersection between social security/welfare state law\, labour law and migration law in producing gender (and other) inequalities. Her research has focused on forms of gendered\, informal and reproductive labour including care and domestic work\, au pairing and surrogacy\, as well as the platformization of care and domestic work in the gig economy\, family migration and transnational family life\, and the human and labour rights of migrant workers. \n  \nThursday 23 November 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEDT\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Self-represented Accused and Appellants in the Criminal Justice System and a Prosecutor's Duty
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series: Self-represented Accused and Appellants in the Criminal Justice System and a Prosecutor’s Duty\n  \nEthics & Professional Responsibility\nProfessional Skills \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nSelf-represented accused and appellants often add complexity and time to court proceedings. Prosecutors have a unique role in matters involving such persons\, as they must balance their duty to the Court and their responsibilities to the ODPP. On one hand\, the prosecutor must act on behalf of the State and related stakeholders (e.g. victims\, police) and\, on the other\, they must assist the Court to ensure that justice is effected quickly. This seminar will consider such issues as: what a self-represented actually is; the arrangements that are made for self-represented litigants in the criminal justice system; relevant prosecution guidelines; practical issues that arise concerning self-represented litigants; balancing prosecutorial duties with the duty to assist the Court; and case law that bears on such issues. \nPresenters \nFelicity Evans is a Solicitor with the NSW ODPP\, based at Parramatta. Felicity has significant experience in District Court appeals involving self-represented litigants and holds a JD from UNSW and an LLM in Global Laws from the University of Sydney. \n\n\nA recording of this webinar will be released on Thursday\, 23 November 2023. \nFind out more about the series.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author | Olivera Simic | Lola's War: Rape without Punishment
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Author | Olivera Simic | Lola’s War: Rape without Punishment\nDr Olivera Simic\, Associate Professor\, Griffith Law School\, Australia\nIn-person event \nWe invite you to this Visiting Staff Research Seminar with Associate Professor Olivera Simic in conjunction with Professor Emily Crawford at the Sydney Centre for International Law. \nAbout this Seminar \nIn this seminar\, Dr. Simic will speak about her recently published book\, Lola’s War: Rape without Punishment.  The book offers a subtle understanding of the Bosnian war by listening to the voice of Lola\, a rural Bosnian woman who in the first two months of war had become a widow\, displaced\, unemployed\, homeless\, disabled and a sole caretaker of her nine-month-old baby\, four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son with whom she was forcibly taken from her family home to detention and rape camp. In span of only few weeks\, her whole life was torn into pieces and turned into nightmare. In Lola’s War Dr Simić tells extraordinary story of one woman and her three decades long fight for justice. She explores the meanings of transitional justice by using in-depth narrative of a woman\, wartime rape survivor who came out the other side of a trial empty handed and with no justice in sight. Her perpetrator is still at large\, and she lives in continual fear that he will retaliate against her and her children for her role in his trial. \nAbout the Speaker \n \nOlivera Simić is an Associate Professor with the Griffith Law School\, a feminist and a human rights activist. Dr Simić was born in the former Yugoslavia and lived through the Yugoslav Wars (1991-1999). She was nineteen years old\, studying the first year of a law degree in Bosnia and Herzegovina when the Bosnian War broke out in 1992. Initially as a refugee and later as a migrant\, Dr Simić lived and studied in Eastern and Western Europe\, the USA and South America\, before coming to Australia in 2006. She has published four monographs and eight co-edited collections\, numerous book chapters\, journal articles and personal narratives.
