SUMMARY:Criminalising Children: Should we raise the age of criminal responsibility?
DESCRIPTION:Criminalising Children: Should we raise the age of criminal responsibility?\nIn-person event \nRecently\, the Northern Territory became the first Australian jurisdiction to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 12 years. In New South Wales\, and other Australian jurisdictions\, the minimum age remains 10\, which is one of the lowest minimum ages of criminal responsibility in the world. That is\, while a child under the age of 10 cannot be convicted of a criminal offence\, and while a child aged between 10 and 14 is likewise presumed to be doli incapax\, this presumption can be rebutted by the prosecution on the evidence. \nBut is the age of 10 too young to criminalise any child? What harms accrue to incarcerated children? \nThere are many arguments in favour of ‘raising the age’ to minimise the criminalisation of children. First\, there is the alarming over-representation of Indigenous children in detention. Second\, raising the age of criminal responsibility would recognise the fact that children are in a period of neurodevelopmental immaturity. Third\, the younger a child is when first encountering the criminal justice system\, the more likely they are to re-offend as an adult. Fourth\, the great prevalence of mental health disorders and cognitive disabilities amongst young people in the criminal justice system\, compared with the general youth population\, highlights a vulnerability that would be better addressed outside the criminal justice system. Finally\, incarcerated children are deprived of the family\, friends\, education\, health\, cultural and sporting opportunities that most of us take for granted. \nGiven the significant momentum for raising the age of criminal responsibility following the Northern Territory’s decision\, this panel will examine whether other Australian jurisdictions should do the same ­- or raise the age even higher. \nAbout the panel discussion\nTo continue the dialogue around raising the age of criminal responsibility\, the Sydney Institute of Criminology is hosting a panel of academics and legal professionals. \nIntroductions: Dr Carolyn McKay (Co-Director\, Sydney Institute of Criminology) \nChairperson: Professor Megan Williams (Principal of Yulang Indigenous Evaluation) \nProfessor Megan Williams is Wiradjuri through paternal family and has worked for over two decades advocating for the use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s expertise in health service design and evaluation\, research\, ethics and university curriculum. Megan is principal of Yulang Indigenous Evaluation and worked in the tertiary sector across three decades\, most recently at UTS. Megan is author of the Ngaa-bi-nya Aboriginal evaluation framework available at the Evaluation Journal of Australasia\, contributed as background work for the Australian Government’s Indigenous Evaluation Strategy. Megan collaborates on ARC\, MRFF\, NHMRC\, government and industry funds for research\, and has had local and national roles including as a Human Research Ethics Committee chairperson\, and Health Sociology Review associate editor including for the Yuwinbir Special Issue. Megan is a member of the AIHW National Prisoner Health Information Committee and Corrective Services NSW Aboriginal Advisory Council. Megan has been miimi (sister) of Mibbinbah community organisation for 15 years\, and is Chairperson of independent media company Croakey.org. \nPanellists \n\nDr Krystal Lockwood (Lecturer\, Griffith Criminology Institute\, Griffith University)\n\nDr Krystal Lockwood is Gumbaynggirr and Dunghutti\, and grew up in Armidale\, New South Wales.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar | Beyond Indigenous Cultural & Intellectual Property: opportunities in law reform for Aboriginal-led medicines in Australia and the limitations of legal pluralism
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar | Beyond Indigenous Cultural & Intellectual Property: opportunities in law reform for Aboriginal-led medicines in Australia and the limitations of legal pluralism\nIn-person event \nAustralian regulators and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have the opportunity to co-design a cross-jurisdictional framework that ensures structural integrity and cultural ethics\, which embodies international law principles and standards. However\, the Australian intellectual property regime and regulatory framework for traditional medicines is not fit for purpose.

She is a practising lawyer and leading legal scholar with expertise in Aboriginal water rights\, native title rights in Sea Country\, Indigenous governance and the intersection of Traditional Knowledge systems and western intellectual property regimes\, especially as it relates to Indigenous commercialisation of traditional medicines. \nVirginia holds various government appointments including serving on the Climate Change Authority Board\, Deputy Co-Chair of the Committee on Aboriginal Water Interests and the Drafting Group for the National Water Initiative Mark 2 and regularly invited on expert roundtables relating to water policy reform. Virginia serves on the ANU Human Ethics Research Committee\, the inaugural Māori Research and Ethics Council and Chair of the ANU Indigenous Research Advisory Group. Virginia is a Co-Chair of the ANU Institute for Climate\, Energy & Disaster Solutions Indigenous peoples\, cultures and knowledges research cluster and is a Research Associate and Board member of ANU’s Australian Studies Institute. \n  \nThursday 14 September 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEST\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:Julius Stone Address: What is political progress?
DESCRIPTION:Julius Stone Address: What is political progress?\nIn-person event\n  \nProgress is both a necessary and a dangerous idea. It is necessary if one is striving to improve the way things are\, and it is dangerous because the pursuit of progress has historically often given rise to episodes of paternalism\, colonial domination and narratives of civilizational superiority. In my talk\, I will present some first thoughts on how to defend a more critical account of progress. I will start by distinguishing between moral and political progress\, then explore the relation between political progress and justice. I will suggest that we make political progress not when we approximate an ideal of justice that is always already known to us\, but when the political institutions we construct reflect what we learn from the trials and failures of the past. \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor Lea Ypi \nLea Ypi is Professor in Political Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science and an Honorary Professor in Philosophy at the Australian National University. A native of Albania\, she has degrees in Philosophy and in Literature from the University of Rome La Sapienza\, a PhD from the European University Institute and was a Post-Doctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College\, Oxford University. She is the author of Global Justice and Avant-Garde Political Agency\, The Meaning of Partisanship (with Jonathan White)\, and The Architectonic of Reason. Her latest book\, a philosophical memoir entitled Free: Coming of Age at the End of History\, won the 2022 Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize and the Slightly Foxed First Biography Prize and is being translated into more than twenty languages. Her academic work has been recognised with the British Academy Prize for Excellence in Political Science and the Leverhulme Prize for Outstanding Research Achievement. She coedits The Journal of Political Philosophy and occasionally writes for The Guardian. \n  \nTuesday 29 August\, 2023\nTime: 6-7.30pm \nVenue: Lecture Theatre 101\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School. \nThe Julius Stone Address is generously sponsored by the Educational Heritage Foundation. It is named to commemorate the life and work of Professor Julius Stone\, Australia’s foremost legal philosopher and for many years Challis Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insolvency and Tax Debts: the special position of the ATO
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insolvency and Tax Debts: the special position of the ATO\nOnline event \nThe Australian Taxation Office is a creditor in almost three out of every four company insolvencies.

SUMMARY:Meet the author | Reimagining Desistance from Male-Perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence: The role and experiences of female victims-survivors
DESCRIPTION:Meet the author | Reimagining Desistance from Male-Perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence: The role and experiences of female victims-survivors\nHybrid event \nDespite decades of research\, our understanding of IPV desistance processes is very limited. In particular\, understanding of the mechanisms that may account for why some men ‘stop’ abusing their partners and others persist\, is under-developed. Because IPV occurs within a dyadic and domestic context\, women who are subjected to IPV are not only in a unique position to observe their partner’s behaviours (and how they change over time)\, but also to implement strategies to initiate and support their partner’s desistance. \nThis study involved semi-structured interviews with 40 female victims-survivors of male-perpetrated IPV\, 15 of whom had experienced the cessation or reduction of abuse perpetrated against them for a period of six months or longer. Focusing on the period where participants relationships with abusers were still intact\, the analysis found that victims-survivors were highly agentic actors who implemented a range of strategies to both mitigate their day-to-day risk of violence and support their partners’ long-term behavioural changes. Even in situations where the violence did not stop entirely\, the strategies participants implemented were important for inhibiting escalating patterns of violence and abuse within their relationship. Although their understanding of abusers’ thought processes and motivations was limited by contextual awareness\, participants’ narratives suggested that desistance would not have occurred\, but for their actions. \n\nAbout the author\nDr Hayley Boxall is a criminologist who has been undertaking research on domestic and family violence (including intimate partner violence) and sexual violence for over 10 years. She has published extensively on these topics\, and been a primary investigator on a number of projects focused on criminal justice responses to DFV\, pathways/trajectories into DFV offending and intimate partner femicide\, offending and reoffending patterns of DFV perpetrators and the exploring the nature and prevalence of different forms of DFV and sexual violence. Since 2020 Hayley has been the Manager of the Australian Institute of Criminology’s Violence against Women and Children Research Program\, and is a Course Convenor at the University of Sydney and Griffith University. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 24 August 2023\nTime: 6-7.15pm (Refreshments to be provided) \nVenue: Level 1\, Law Lounge\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \nCPD points: 1.25 \nThis event is being held in-person and online at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Can we accommodate independent legal representation for complainants of sexual violence in an adversarial system?
DESCRIPTION:Can we accommodate independent legal representation for complainants of sexual violence in an adversarial system?\nIn-person event \n\n\n\n\n“The legitimate rights of the accused should be protected and fulfilled. So too the rights of the community.” - VLRC\, 2021 \nAustralia has not been immune from calls to strengthen its criminal justice system\, with a series of inquiries over the past seven years considering matters affecting complainants of sexual violence. Despite relying on victims to report crime and cooperate so that the state may prosecute\, the mistreatment of victims remains a subject of academic criticism. \nIndependent legal representation has surfaced as a major factor in reducing secondary victimisation and attrition. While often positioned as solely in the interests of the victim\, it can support the state’s prosecution efforts and lead to improved substantive justice outcomes. \nOn behalf of With You We Can\, this event co-ordinates advocates\, lawyers and academics to discuss models of independent legal representation for victims abroad\, and how we might apply similar principles in Australia. The discussion will be preceded by a short screening of Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie\, a powerful tool to create more developed understanding of our justice system in these contexts. \nSpeakers will be consulting victimologist Michael O’Connell AM APM\, who served as the inaugural Commissioner for Victims’ Rights\, Associate Professor Kerstin Braun\, who teaches criminal law and procedure in the School of Law and Justice at the University of Southern Queensland\, Eleanor Danks\, an advocate who went through the legal system as a survivor of intimate partner sexual violence while working at the Victorian Office of Public Prosecutions\, and Sarah Rosenberg\, Director and Co-Founder of With you We Can. \n*With You We Can is a victim-led organisation pulling together victims\, advocates and experts to demystify the police and legal processes while working to improve them. \nProgram\n12.30-1.30pm Screening of Suzie Miller’s film Prima Facie \n1.30-2.30pm Panel discussion \n  \nFriday 18 August 2023\, 12.30-2.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 1\, Law Lounge\, New Law Building Annex (F10A)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 2 \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:The Life and Death of States: Author Meets Readers
DESCRIPTION:The Life and Death of States: Author Meets Readers\nIn-person event \nNatasha Wheatley’s bold new book The Life and Death of States: Central Europe and the Transformation of Modern Sovereignty (Princeton University Press 2023) rediscovers the multinational Habsburg polity as a hothouse for ideas that still shape our understanding of the sovereign state. The radical mismatch between theories of singular sovereignty and the empire’s plural\, layered legal order pushed politicians as well as scholars like Hans Kelsen toward bold new conceptions of the state and the nature of law. The book follows a recurring set of questions about the juridical birth\, death\, and survival of states through the creative experiments of Austro-Hungarian constitutional order and into the domain of international law following the empire’s collapse in 1918. These ideas would echo around the globe in the era of global decolonization that followed the Second World War\, suggesting new ways of understanding Central Europe in the world. \nAbout the speakers\n\nNatasha Wheatley is an historian of modern European and international history\, with broad interests in intellectual and legal history\, Central Europe\, and the history of international law. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sydney before joining the Princeton faculty as an assistant professor in 2017. She is the co-editor of the volumes Power and Time and Remaking Central Europe\, and her writing has appeared in Past & Present\, History and Theory\, Law and History Review\, and the London Review of Books\, among other places. The Life and Death of States is her first book.\nProfessor Lisa Ford is the prize-winning author of three monographs: Settler Sovereignty: Jurisdiction and Indigenous People in America and Australia\, 1788-1836 (Harvard UP\, 2010); Rage for Order: The British Empire and the Origins of International Law\, 1800-1850 (Harvard UP\, 2016)\, co-authored with Professor Lauren Benton; and The King’s Peace: Law and Order in the British Empire (Harvard UP\, 2021). She recently co-edited The Cambridge Legal History of Australia (Cambridge UP\, 2022). Her current project\, on emergency in the British Empire is funded by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship.\nProfessor Lea Ypi is Professor in Political Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science and an Honorary Professor in Philosophy at the Australian National University. A native of Albania\, she has degrees in Philosophy and in Literature from the University of Rome La Sapienza\, a PhD from the European University Institute and was a Post-Doctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College\, Oxford University. She is the author of Global Justice and Avant-Garde Political Agency\, The Meaning of Partisanship (with Jonathan White)\, and The Architectonic of Reason. Her latest book\, a philosophical memoir entitled Free: Coming of Age at the End of History\, won the 2022 Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize and the Slightly Foxed First Biography Prize and is being translated into more than twenty languages.

SUMMARY:2023 Wingarra Djuraliyin: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law
DESCRIPTION:2023 Wingarra Djuraliyin: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law\nSydney Law School is proud to host the annual Wingarra Djuraliyin public lecture\, which showcases Indigenous perspectives on law. \nThe Council of Australian Law Deans in 2020 expressed its commitment to a legal system free of systemic discrimination and structural bias against First Nations peoples – this commitment applies to legal education institutions.  \nThe recent public lecture by Dr Eddie Cubillo addressed this topic\, which is of considerable public interest including within the legal academy.  \nWe acknowledge the courage of Dr Eddie Cubillo to address the impact on First Nations Peoples. \nSince the delivery of the lecture\, the University has been informed of ongoing legal issues\, which currently prevent the lecture recording being available for distribution. \nIn-person event \n\n\nSydney Law School is proud to host the annual Wingarra Djuraliyin public lecture\, which showcases Indigenous perspectives on law. \nIn 2023\, the lecture is “One more broken silence: an Indigenous academic encounters racism in the law school 2023”\, delivered by Dr Eddie Cubillo (University of Melbourne Law School). \nThis event is being held to mark the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People\, which is celebrated annually on 9 August. \n2023 Lecture \nOne more broken silence: an Indigenous academic encounters racism in the law school  \nIn this lecture\, I question why despite being white-qualified\, having done an LLB\, LLM\, PhD\, I am only seen as ‘the culture guy’ and only respected enough to do ‘smoking and acknowledgements’\, why myself and other Blak academics continue to be subjected to casual and pervasive racisms as an everyday occurrence\, and why some of our most prestigious academic institutions continue to be complicit in perpetrating and condoning racism despite all the rhetoric about standing for equity and justice. \nIn 2015\, Wiradjuri man Stan Grant challenged Australians to consider that ‘The Australian Dream is rooted in racism…the very foundation of the dream’. Recently\, as Australia tracks towards a referendum on a First Nations Voice to Parliament that 80% of Indigenous people support\, non-Indigenous author Richard Flanagan challenges us to ‘confront th[e] most terrible truth…[that] racism experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people…is of a completely different order…far more extreme…[and] so pervasive as to often be invisible to non-Indigenous Australians’. \nThe toxicity of the academy and whether it’s safe for Indigenous staff and students needs to be confronted. It needs to be highlighted that they often are not. First Nations academics often ask each other if it’s all worthwhile. As a country\, we need to acknowledge that the places settlers/non-Indigenous Australians have built for themselves were established by\,  and  are sustained by\, racial violence. Institutions  can be  unrelenting  in  their  viciousness towards sovereign Black bodies\,  and this viciousness includes the silence of colleagues\, their privilege and their ‘unconscious biases’. As Richard Flanagan acknowledges ‘Spend some real time with Aboriginal people and you’ll see how they are still made to live in another country\, and it is frequently a cruel\, pitiless and brutally destructive world.‘ \nSo why am I still here? Why do I\, and other Blak academics continue to subject ourselves to the viciousness and racial violence? For the same reason I call it out in this lecture – As a proud Larrakia\, Wadjigan and Central Arrernte man I put up with the racism because of what I hear constantly from our people on the front-line advocating and delivering services trying their best in a racist world. If I can educate future leaders to respect my people\, I will. My ancestors and elders have faced adversity\, so that I can achieve\, it’s my turn. \n  \nWednesday 9 August\, 6-7.30pm\nCPD points =1.5 \n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker \nDr Eddie Cubillo is a Larrakia\, Wadjigan and Central Arrente man from the Northern Territory. \nHe is a long time advocate for Indigenous rights and is currently Associate Dean (Indigenous Programs) & Director of the Indigenous Law and Justice Hub at the University of Melbourne’s Law School\, were he has his sights on the decolonisation of legal education and supporting graduates to work towards First Nations Justice. \nEddie’s other past roles include Anti-Discrimination Commissioner of the Northern Territory\, Executive Officer of the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Legal Service (NATSILS) and Director of Community Engagement in the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory. \nEddie has been a former Chair of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) Yilli Rreung Regional Council\, the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA) and the Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee and is currently on the Law Council of Australia’s – Indigenous Legal Issues Committee\, National OPCAT Advisory Group\, Justice Policy Partnership (JPP) under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap\, and the Victorian Treaty Authority Panel. \n\n\n\n\nCatch up on the 2022 lecture \nIn 2022\, the Wingarra Djuraliyin lecture was presented by Professor Anne Poelina and Marlikka Perdrisat\, who spoke on the topic of ‘First Law: A Climate Chance’. \nWatch here \nThis event 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.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Comparing Online Legal Education
DESCRIPTION:Book launch: Comparing Online Legal Education \nIn-person event \nThe University of Sydney Law School is delighted to invite you to the launch of Comparing Online Legal Education\, co-edited by Professor Luke Nottage\, Sydney Law School\, for the International Academy of Comparative Law. \nThe book will be launched by The Hon. Andrew Bell\, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of NSW\, and previously part-time lecturer at Sydney Law School. \nAbout Comparing Online Legal Education \nThis pioneering work by leading comparative lawyers examines developments in online legal education\, particularly in universities but also in professional associations\, before and especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. \nThe book posits and largely confirms that transformations are linked to the extent and scope of respective legal professions (often\, but not always\, correlating to common versus civil law traditions)\, funding and other aspects of university-level education\, and information and communications technology infrastructure in each jurisdiction. It charts the dramatic shift to online legal education in almost all jurisdictions even with different levels of COVID-19 infections and deaths\, or mobility restrictions imposed by law and/or social norms. It also details how law teachers and students adapted to the challenges and opportunities of new technologies and practices\, sometimes benefitting from serendipitous earlier events supporting online legal education\, and a considerable ‘reversion to the mean’ as the pandemic has abated. \nThe special reports incorporate extensive empirical data\, including surveys on online legal education experiences. They cover 13 jurisdictions across the Asia-Pacific region (Australia\, Canada\, Brunei\, Malaysia\, Singapore\, Hong Kong\, Macao\, Japan and Pakistan)\, Europe and beyond (Croatia\, Cyprus\, Italy and Seychelles)\, ranging from micro-states to very large economies\, at various stages of economic development and from different legal traditions. Comparing Online Legal Education provides rich resources and lessons for legal academics and professionals\, as well as those involved in education policy. \nFind out more about the book and order it online here.  \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 3 August 2023\nTime: 5.30-6.30pm (Cocktail reception to follow book launch) \nVenue: Level 1\, Law Lounge\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \n\n\nAbout the editors \nLuke Nottage (PhD VUW\, LLD Kyoto) is Professor of Comparative and Transnational Business Law at the University of Sydney\, Associate Director of its Centre for Asian and Pacific Law (CAPLUS) and founding Co-Director of the Australian Network for Japanese Law (ANJeL).

SUMMARY:The Charles Perkins Centre Annual Lecture 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Charles Perkins Centre Annual Lecture 2023Public health sovereignty and public reason: A comparative perspective\nIn-person event \nYou are warmly invited to the Charles Perkins Centre Annual Lecture 2023 presented by visiting scholar Professor Sheila Jasanoff\, the Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies at the Harvard Kennedy School. \nDrawing on varied policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic\, Professor Jasanoff argues that national health policies reflect underlying social compacts regarding the mutual obligations of citizens\, experts\, and the state. This approach helps make sense of wide divergences in measures taken by states worldwide to combat Covid-19 and ensure recovery. \nThis talk challenges conventional understandings of modernity as the product of two trajectories that sustain each other and improve human futures: one of advances in science and technology and the other of social progress. Progress is here imagined as always in-the-making\, riding on the wings of scientific enlightenment. There is no room for backsliding in this view\, only the horizon of greater emancipation. \nBut what if this idea of modernity is itself an imaginary overlaid on less tidy epistemic and political commitments? What if\, instead of perfection through knowledge and reason\, modernity is a patchwork of opaque delegations whereby control over minds\, bodies\, and nature’s workings is handed over to experts with quasi-sovereign power to regulate their respective domains? Empirically exploring these questions provides insights into contemporary debates on populism and loss of trust in science. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nWednesday 2 August\, 2023\nTime: 5.30-7pm AEST \nLocation: University of Sydney Camperdown campus: Venue to be confirmed \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThis event is proudly co-presented by Sydney Law School and the Charles Perkins Centre.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Social enterprise law: A multijurisdictional comparative review
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Social enterprise law: A multijurisdictional comparative review\nIn-person event \nThis 24-nation review of social enterprise law analyzes data developed by a team of academics and practitioners with deep expertise regarding jurisdictions on six continents. Each responded to the authors’ detailed questionnaire inquiring into the relevant jurisdiction’s legal treatment of entities using business methods to achieve social good. After first identifying the key role of political\, cultural and legal baselines in determining the space for and legal treatment of social enterprises\, the paper explores the myriad specialized forms and certifications that have been developed to identify firms around the world as social enterprises. \nLegal forms are offered exclusively by governments and relevant to a single jurisdiction\, while certifications may or may not be public or jurisdiction-specific. Comparing these tools offers guidance to policymakers keen to continue evolving specialized social enterprise forms and certifications across jurisdictions. It also reveals how these identifiers for social enterprise are being used to incentivize the pursuit of social good using business methods. The assurances of trustworthiness provided by distribution constraints and regulatory oversight appear critical to support public subsidization or privileging of social enterprise. Without these protections in place\, public incentives for social enterprise are largely absent \nAbout the speaker \nDana Brakman Reiser holds a chair as Centennial Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School\, where she also served as Vice Dean. She teaches courses in Corporations\, Nonprofit Law\, Social Enterprise\, Property\, and Trusts and Estates. A globally recognized expert in the law at the intersection of business and charity\, her work on the law of social enterprises – firms that pursue profits for owners and social good – defined the field. She has also written extensively on law and finance for philanthropic organizations and on sustainable investing. \nShe is a member of the American Law Institute and was an Associate Reporter for its project on the Principles of the Law of Nonprofit Organizations\, as well as a past-Chair of the Section on Nonprofit and Philanthropy Law of the American Association of Law Schools and a former member of the executive board of its Section on Business Law.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Epistemic privilege and duties of mutual assistance
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Epistemic privilege and duties of mutual assistance\nIn-person event \nVictims of oppression are sometimes said to have epistemic privilege in virtue of their marginalised social position into the operation and impact of oppressive social structures. Epistemic privilege sometimes is cited as a basis for deference in social relations between victims and non-victims—for example\, the use of ‘lived experience’ to resolve or terminate disagreements about social and political oppression. I am interested in whether epistemic privilege can be a basis for duties of mutual assistance between victims\, where assistance is understood as mitigating the harms of oppression on other victims without necessarily targeting oppression itself. I outline the ways in which victims of oppression can be said to have epistemic privilege\, the limits of this privilege\, and what duties of assistance this privilege might ground. \nAbout the speaker:\nAshwini Vasanthakumar \nAshwini Vasanthakumar is a political and legal theorist with research interests in political obligation and authority\, migration\, and the ethics of resistance. \nShe is currently an Associate Professor and Queen’s National Scholar in Legal & Political Philosophy at Queen’s Law School in Canada. She holds an AB from Harvard\, an MA from Toronto\, a JD from Yale Law School\, and a DPhil from Oxford\, where she studied as a Canadian Rhodes Scholar. \nPreviously\, she has worked at King’s College London\, the University of York\, University College\, Oxford\, and Jindal Global Law School. She has also been a Researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies (Stockholm) and a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Fundamental Rights at the Hertie School (Berlin). \n  \nThursday 27 July 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEST\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:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series: Assessing witness credibility: Is it possible to tell whether someone is lying or telling the truth?
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series: Assessing witness credibility: Is it possible to tell whether someone is lying or telling the truth?\n  \nSubstantive Law \nProfessional Skills \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nWitness testimony can be extremely influential in legal investigations and trials; however\, sometimes witnesses lie. Such deception can be detrimental to due process and can result in miscarriages of justice. Thus\, it is important for legal personnel and factfinders to be able to determine whether someone is lying or telling the truth. \nIn an interactive seminar\, I will discuss research investigating behavioural and content indicators of deception. This seminar will help legal practitioners understand the difficulties in discriminating liars from truth-tellers as well as the evidence-base for various lie detection techniques. \nPresenter \nHelen Paterson is an Associate Professor in Forensic Psychology at the University of Sydney. She investigates the reliability and credibility of eyewitnesses. In particular\, her research focuses on best practice techniques to collect accurate and complete accounts from eyewitnesses. She also studies lies and the detection of deception. \n\n\nA recording of this webinar will be released on Thursday\, 27 July 2023. \nFind out more about the series.

SUMMARY:JSI Workshop: Description and evaluation in contemporary jurisprudence
DESCRIPTION:JSI Workshop: Description and evaluation in contemporary jurisprudence\nIn-person event \nModern jurisprudence has been tormented by a divide between description and evaluation in legal theory. Proponents argue that the distinction is essential to any clearheaded discussion of law itself and its relation to adjacent normative systems\, especially morality. Opponents insist that being the necessarily normative practice it is\, a pure description of the law and its theory is untenable. This conversation will bring together legal and moral theorists to shed some novel light on an old problem. \nSpeakers \n\nAssociate Professor Kevin Walton (University of Sydney Law School)\nDr. Yarran Hominh (Assistant Professor in Philosophy\, Bard College)\nDr. Alma Diamond (Postdoctoral Fellow in Law & Philosophy\, University of Chicago)\nDr. Meir Yarom (Postdoctoral Fellow in Jurisprudence\, the Julius Stone Institute\, University of Sydney Law School)\n\n——————————— \nThursday 20 July\, 2023\nTime: 11am-1pm  \nVenue: Level 4\, Board Room\, New Law Building (F10) \nCPD Points: 2 \n———————————- \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: The stability of bad things
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: The stability of bad things\nIn-person event\n  \nPolitical philosophers have long been concerned with how best to ensure the stability of social orders. Stability is assumed to be a good\, whether because whatever is good is better for being stably so\, or because stability enables cooperation in the pursuit of whatever other goods we have. \nBut is stability always a good? What of the stability of systems of unfreedom\, of forms of oppression and domination? Such systems are stable in the face of constant efforts to shift them. Why is this? Call this the question of the stability of bad things: why bad things are stable despite the fact that they are bad. \nIn this talk\, I examine one central way in which systems of unfreedom are self-stabilizing: through shaping the moral psychology of agents within those systems. Unfreedom is not just a matter of having limited options for choice\, but of the ways in which social systems foster in us particular ways of thinking\, feeling\, and acting. I argue that there are two ways in which this moral psychological shaping stabilizes systems of unfreedom. First\, it generates support for those systems\, by which I mean not just voluntary upholding of the system but a range of attitudes from consent to resigned participation. Second\, it disrupts possibilities of collective resistance to those systems. Understanding these mechanisms of stability might better help us to first resist\, and then transform\, the systems of unfreedom to which we are all subject. \nAbout the speaker:\nYarran Hominh \nYarran Hominh is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Bard College. His research sits at the intersection of social and political philosophy with moral psychology. He draws liberally from a variety of traditions of thought and practice\, including the pragmatist tradition\, the Black radical tradition\, Buddhist modernism\, and anti-racist\, anti-colonial\, and anti-imperial praxis from around the globe. He is working on a book entitled The Problem of Unfreedom and has papers recently published or forthcoming in Philosophers’ Imprint\, The Pluralist\, the Journal of Legal Philosophy\, Comparative Philosophy and the Journal of Confucian Philosophy and Culture. He is also the Associate Editor of the APA Studies on Asian and Asian American Philosophers and Philosophies and is on the editorial board of The Philosopher. \n  \nThursday 13 July 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEST\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:JSI Workshop | Towards a Moralisation of Jurisprudence? Reflections on the Future of Legal Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:JSI Workshop | Towards a Moralisation of Jurisprudence? Reflections on the Future of Legal Philosophy\nIn-person event\nThere is a trend in current Anglo-American legal philosophy that is drawing the attention of legal scholars. We could label this trend “The moralisation of jurisprudence”. Its animating idea is as follows: The questions still left open in contemporary jurisprudence can only be addressed by moral theory. Thus\, there is no longer room for legal philosophy as an autonomous field of enquiry. The seminar aims to critically discuss this thesis from different theoretical perspectives. \nAbout the speakers:\nProfessor Damiano Canale \nDamiano Canale is Professor of Philosophy of Law and Critical Thinking at Bocconi University\, Milan (Italy). His scholarship mainly focuses on legal reasoning and legal interpretation\, the methodology of jurisprudence\, the relationship between scientific knowledge and legal knowledge\, and the history of legal concepts. He was visiting fellow at the Max-Plank-Institut für Europäische Rechtsgeschichte (Frankfurt a.M.)\, the Yale Law School and the University of Oxford. He is the author of four books in Italian and his papers have been published in journals such as Law and Philosophy\, Ratio Juris\, the American Journal of Law and Jurisprudence\, the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence\, Jurisprudence\, Informal Logic\, Argumentation. \nDr Meir Yarom \nMeir Yarom is the inaugural Julius Stone Postdoctoral Fellow. He has recently completed his PhD entitled ‘Reflections on Coherence in Law’ supervised by Jeremy Waldron at NYU School of Law. \nTuesday\, 27 June 2023 2.00 – 4.00pm AEST\nVenue:  Board Room\, Level 4\, 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:JSI Seminar | Legalizing Assisted Dying: Are We On A Slippery Slope To Involuntary Euthanasia?
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Legalizing Assisted Dying: Are We On A Slippery Slope To Involuntary Euthanasia?\nIn-person event\n  \nOn 28 November 2023\, the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act will come into effect in NSW. The Act allows ill persons having decision-making capacity\, acting voluntary\, and with less than six months to live (12 months in the case of a neurogenerative illness) to request a prescription of a lethal substance to end intolerable suffering. If the medical practitioners responsible for the assessment of the request confirm that the eligibility conditions are satisfied\, the patient may decide to self-administer the lethal substance or that the substance is to be administered to the patient by a doctor. The Voluntary Assisted Dying Act was eventually approved on 19 May 2022 after an exhausting and hard-fought parliamentary debate. \nOne of the main reasons justifying the opposition to the bill was provided by a slippery slope argument: The legalization of assisted dying would be a first and decisive step towards the gradual acceptance by public opinion\, medical professions\, and political decision-makers of the medical killing of people unable to consent. Given that this outcome is morally disgraceful\, assisted dying should not be permitted in the first place. Slippery slope arguments are popular in a wide range of debates across bioethics\, law\, and public policy\, and are still extensively used to prevent the legalization of assisted dying in countries such as the UK\, Germany and Italy. Besides\, they are widely employed to prevent policymakers from extending the right to assisted dying to new categories of persons in those jurisdictions where that right is already recognized. \nHowever\, it is highly disputed whether arguments of this sort are able to support their conclusions or should rather be dismissed because ill-grounded. In this seminar I will try to answer this question. To do that\, I will first show that various versions of the slippery slope arguments are actually present in the debate on assisted dying. I will then claim that the only version of the argument that is not ill-grounded supports the opposite conclusion\, namely that the non-recognition of the right to assisted dying may be a first step on the slippery slope to unvoluntary euthanasia in many legal systems. \nAbout the speaker:\nDamiano Canale \nDamiano Canale is Professor of Philosophy of Law and Critical Thinking at Bocconi University\, Milan (Italy). His scholarship mainly focuses on legal reasoning and legal interpretation\, the methodology of jurisprudence\, the relationship between scientific knowledge and legal knowledge\, and the history of legal concepts.

SUMMARY:Unpicking torts: Elements\, standing requirements and conditions of actionability
DESCRIPTION:Unpicking torts: Elements\, standing requirements and conditions of actionability\nIn-person event\n  \nThere is a fashion for thinking about torts in terms of recipes: as causes of action made up of a fixed set of ingredients. It is fashion that has adherents in both judicial and juristic circles. Typically\, the things that a plaintiff must demonstrate in order to sue in tort are referred to as ‘elements’ of a tort. But sometimes one comes across talk of the plaintiff’s need to satisfy either a ‘condition of actionability’ or a ‘standing requirement’. \nThis change in language when referring to what the plaintiff must show is ostensibly perplexing. It naturally raises the following questions: (1) how\, do the three concepts come apart\, and (2) what significance can be attached to any differences between them? These are the questions with which this paper wrestles. \nThe first contention advanced in the paper is this: while elements and conditions of actionability are in fact discrete juridical entities\, standing requirements are not. The second is that recognising the difference possesses considerable practical and theoretical significance. \nAbout the speaker:\nProfessor John Murphy (The University of Hong Kong) \nJohn Murphy is a Professor at the Faculty of Law\, The University of Hong Kong. He was educated in England and holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in law. John specialises in the law of torts\, and he has authored two monographs in the field: The Law of Nuisance (Oxford University Press\, 2010) and The Province and Politics of the Economic Torts (Hart Publishing\, 2022). For over a decade he was the editor of Street on Torts \, and for even longer he has been one of small group of editors responsible for the production of Clerk and Lindsell on Torts\, the leading practitioner work on tort law. \nCommentator: Professor Peter Cane (Sydney Law School) \nThursday 1 June 2023\nTime: 6-7.30pm AEST (Seminar from 6-7pm\, with refreshments served afterwards) \nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by Sydney Law School at The University of Sydney.

The Law School welcomes the appointment of Professor Jane Stapleton as Honorary Professor of the University of Sydney. \nAbout the seminar \nIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the UK Government decided to take swingeing lock-down measures in March 2020 which resulted in billions of dollars of business interruption loss to hundreds of thousands of enterprises in that country. In a landmark 2021 decision concerning insurance cover for such losses a unanimous UK Supreme Court confirmed that the law recognises that an unnecessary and insufficient factor may be a factual cause of an indivisible loss. \nThe talk\, presented by Honorary Professor Jane Stapleton (University of Sydney) will describe the revolutionary procedure deployed in the case\, how the Justices’ insightful introduction of non-insurance cases and commentary was crucial to the crafting of their decision and how profound an impact that decision may have across the landscape of the law. \nThe event will be chaired by the Honourable Justice Julie Ward\, President of the Court of Appeal\, Supreme Court of New South Wales. \nAbout the speakers\nJane Stapleton KC (Hon)\, FBA \nJane Stapleton is an Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney Law School and has held academic posts at Oxford\, the University of Texas and the Australian National University as well as a number of visiting professorships including at Cambridge\, Harvard\, Columbia and the European University Institute. She has acted as a consultant in commercial\, pharmaceutical\, medical and environmental litigation in the US and UK. \nShe is an Emeritus Council Member of the American Law Institute\, an Honorary Bencher of Gray’s Inn\, an Emeritus Fellow of Balliol College\, Oxford and an Honorary Fellow of St John’s College\, Cambridge. In 2020 she was appointed an Honorary Queen’s Counsel by HM Queen Elizabeth II. In 2022 she stepped down as the 38th Master of Christ’s College\, Cambridge where she continues as a Life Fellow. \nThe Honourable Justice Julie Ward \nJustice Ward completed her Bachelor of Laws at Sydney Law School in 1982 with first class honours and the University Medal for law. She was the youngest female partner to be appointed at Mallesons in 1998. In 2008\, Justice Ward was the first female solicitor to be directly appointed to the Supreme Court bench. \nIn 2022\, Justice Ward was appointed as President of the Court of Appeal in the Supreme Court of NSW\, only the second female to be appointed as a President of the Court of Appeal. \n——————————— \nMonday 29 May 2023\nTime: 5.30-7pm (Registration from 5.30pm for a 5.45-7pm seminar.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar: Five Years of Crowd-Sourced Funding in Australia: Taking Stock
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar: Five Years of Crowd-Sourced Funding in Australia: Taking Stock\nIn-person event \n‘Crowd-sourced funding’ is a new form of online venture capital stock market\, open to all investors—retail and wholesale—that was only legally authorised in Australia five years ago. It’s like Kickstarter\, except the backer gets a share in the company (not a t-shirt)\, which would be an illegal public offering of unregistered securities—absent two acts of Parliament from 2017 and 2018. Since then\, under the oversight of ASIC\, and learning from experience in the United States\, New Zealand\, and elsewhere\, the Australian crowd-sourced funding market has grown rapidly\, doubling almost every year—yet the market still remains quite small.  \nThis seminar will discuss the law and regulation of crowd-sourced funding in Australia\, and compare it with international practice. It will also address the state of the Australian market and what it would take to achieve the full potential of crowd-sourced funding across this vast country.  \nAbout the speaker \nAndrew A. Schwartz\, Professor of Law at the University of Colorado\, is a leading international scholar in the field of crowd-sourced funding\, and the author of a new book on the subject\, Investment Crowdfunding\, due to be published by Oxford University Press in July 2023. \nCommentator \nSteven Rice (Partner\, Corrs Chambers Westgarth) \n——————————— \nFriday 26 May\nTime: 8-9am \nVenue: Corrs\, Chambers Westgarth\, Level 37\, Quay Quarter Tower\, 50 Bridge Street\, Sydney\, NSW\, 2000  \nCPD Points: 1 \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly presented by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence in constitutional courts
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence in constitutional courts\nIn-person event\nIn Judgment SU-151/2020 the Constitutional Court of Colombia rendered its decision on a constitutional complaint of a group of journalists. They claim that in certain criminal cases concerning possible corruption by government officials\, prosecutors and judges were unsatisfyingly prohibiting the press to attend public criminal law hearings. The petitioners claimed that judges and prosecutors use to limit the constitutional right to free press outside of those exceptions and by means of disproportionate decisions. \nThe Court made an open call to journalists\, prosecutors\, judges\, and other interested parties to send short videos or writings with relevant information or their views concerning the issue at hand. The Court received 37 videos and writings. All materials were posted online\, and people wrote comments on them. The Court was able to process those materials\, which reveal that there was indeed and unconstitutional practice. However\, the Court could have never processed that information\, had it received hundreds or thousands of pieces of information. \nThis example illustrates how crowdsourcing can assist constitutional courts to overcome their epistemic deficiencies for solving constitutional cases. Those deficiencies can relate to factual or normative matters. Nevertheless\, this advantage does not come without risks. Judicial crowdsourcing can be meaningless if it is misused as a mechanism of democratic window-dressing. This risk instantiates if\, as it may happen with other mechanisms of digital democracy\, it is entirely shaped and controlled by representatives of “existing entrenched social and economic interests” or if constitutional procedural laws include an empowerment for judges to disregard or supersede outcomes of crowdsourcing processes without justification. Furthermore\, power brokers can manipulate crowdsourcing mechanisms. Additionally\, judicial crowdsourcing can be trivialized if citizens’ suggestions do not elicit deliberation among judges and remain only as an expression lacking any kind of impact. Finally\, constitutional courts can use artificial intelligence to analyse big amounts of information that stake-holders submit in the crowdsourcing process. The use of artificial intelligence for those purposes also raises specific concerns of algocratia\, opacity\, and algorithmic discrimination. \nWithin the context\, the aim of this presentation is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the use of crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence by Constitutional Courts in complex cases of constitutional adjudication. \nAbout the speaker:\nCarlos Bernal \nCarlos Bernal is Commissioner of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission.
