SUMMARY:Law & Sustainability Conference
DESCRIPTION:SMU-Sydney-HKU Law & Sustainability ConferenceLaw\, Sustainability\, and Development: Transforming Pathways in the Asia Pacific Region\nIn-person event \nSydney Law School is delighted to announce that it will host the SMU-Sydney-HKU Law & Sustainability Conference at the University of Sydney on July 11-12\, 2024. \nAbout this event \nThe Asia Pacific region is at a critical point in its pathway to sustainability and faces significant challenges. These include achieving net zero emissions by mid-century\, transitioning to cleaner energy in a manner that is just\, progressing toward a ‘circular economy’\, ensuring that supply chains remain resilient\, and safeguarding human rights. \nA significant part of the global supply chain is located in the region\, which is growing and urbanising rapidly. Improving access to employment and promoting economic growth\, as well as accelerating progress towards responsible consumption and production\, are important priorities. Meanwhile climate change and biodiversity loss pose major threats. Addressing these concerns will require rethinking development pathways\, and embracing transformative change. \nThe United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework for addressing economic\, social\, and environmental sustainability challenges. These goals include eliminating hunger and extreme poverty\, reducing diseases\, reducing inequality\, improving water management and energy\, and tackling climate change urgently. Progress on all 17 goals is ‘alarmingly slow’\, however\, according to the UN’s Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP\, 2024). Without significant progress\, the SDGs will not be achieved until 2062: some 32 years behind schedule. \nView the program here. \n____________\nThursday 11 – Friday 12 July 2024\nVenue: New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney (Camperdown Campus)\nRoom to be confirmed\n\nRegistration \n\nGeneral Attendee full conference fee (2 day attendance): $200\nStudent/Alumni full conference fee (2 day attendance): $140\n1 day attendance: $120\nSpeaker attendance: (2 day attendance): $140\nDinner ticket: (Thursday 11 July): $80\n\n\n____________ \nThis event is proudly presented by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law\, Centre for Asian and Pacific Law and the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney.

Interdisciplinary perspectives provide another source of intersection. The Intersections of Private Law colloquium series provides an opportunity for scholars from Australia and overseas to explore these and other overlaps and distinctions within and at the boundaries of private law. \nThe following invited speakers will participate in the Colloquium: \n\nMatthew Dyson\, Professor of Civil and Criminal Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford;\nJodi Gardner\, Brian Coote Chair in Private Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Auckland;\nDonal Nolan\, Professor of Private Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford.\n\nAbstracts should be submitted by email to intersectionsofprivatelaw@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Restoration Law and Finance Conference: Legal and Financial Obstacles to Rehabilitation\, Rehydration and Regeneration of Land and Water and Options for Reform
DESCRIPTION:Restoration Law and Finance Conference: Legal and Financial Obstacles to Rehabilitation\, Rehydration and Regeneration of Land and Water and Options for Reform\nIn-person event \n  \nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to Australia’s inaugural ‘Restoration Law and Finance Conference’ on Thursday and Friday\, 7 & 8 December 2023. \nThe Australian Federal Government has committed to ‘preventing\, halting and reversing the loss of nature’ by signing up to The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration\, publishing the Nature Positive Plan (2022) and introducing the Nature Market Repair Bill (2023). As stated in the recently released Independent Review of the NSW Biodiversity Act 2016\, chaired by Ken Henry\, it is time to move ‘beyond biodiversity conservation to a “nature positive” framing that emphasises the need to repair past damage and to take urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss\, putting nature on a path to recovery\, so that thriving ecosystems can support future generations’. \nTo achieve this\, legal and financial barriers to restoration need to be addressed urgently. \nThrough a series of keynotes\, presentations and panel discussions\, the conference will bring together a diverse range of speakers\, including Indigenous experts\, lawyers\, investors\, restoration practitioners and government officials to discuss the legal and financial barriers to restoring nature across a range of land tenures\, and workable solutions to address these issues. Federal initiatives for nature positive repair are unlikely to succeed unless these challenges are confronted head on. \nSpeakers include: Dr Justine Bell-James (Associate Professor\, University of Queensland Law School); Dr Gerry Bates (University of Sydney); Dr Louise Camenzuli (Partner\, Corrs Chambers Westgarth); Dr Emma Carmody (Restore Blue); Rohan Clarke (Regen Farmers Mutual); Raeleen Draper (Senior Natural Environment Project Officer (Blue Heart)\, Sunshine Coast Council); Veda FitzSimons (Associate Director\, Pollination); Carolyn Hall (CEO and Managing Director\, The Mulloon Institute); Dr Ken Henry (Economist\, Non-Executive Director of the Australian Securities Exchange\, Cape York Partnership and Accounting for Nature Ltd.); Fiachra Kearney (Forever Wild); Stella Kondylas (The Nature Conservancy); Jock Mackenzie (EarthWatch); Grantley Smith (Restore Blue); Heidi Mippy (Noongar and This-Man-Warriyangka woman\, Curtin University); Associate Professor Brad Moggridge (University of Canberra); Stephen Murphy (Conservation Partners); Claire Smith (Partner\, Clayton Utz); Professor Ben Richardson (University of Tasmania Law School); James Trezise (Biodiversity Conservation Council); Laura Waterford (Director\, Pollination); Cassandra Stevens (Director\, Kullilli Bulloo River Aboriginal Corporation) \n  \nView the program and read speaker bios here (Updated 7 December 2023) \n  \nThursday 7 – Friday 8 December 2023\nVenue: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School and is proudly supported by Mills Oakley.

SUMMARY:ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address and Panel Discussions: Legal accelerants for climate action: taking stock for COP28
DESCRIPTION:ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address and Panel Discussions: Legal accelerants for climate action: taking stock for COP28\nIn-person event \nClimate action is more urgent than ever. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached its highest point in at least two million years\, and climate change is causing widespread\, and unequal\, adverse impacts on nature and people (IPCC\, 2023) . In order to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and prevent the worst impacts\, developed countries must reach net zero by 2040\, and emerging economies by 2050. Despite this\, current policies will lead to a 2.8°C temperature rise by 2100. In a time when we should be accelerating our efforts\, we backslide.  \nIn November\, leaders will gather at COP28 for the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement. The process for preparing the next cycle of Nationally Determined Contributions will also be launched.  \nThis event will bring together leading researchers and professionals ahead of the COP to provide insights on how to conceptualise\, develop and implement legal and governance tools to accelerate deep decarbonisation\, adaptation and address loss and damage\, on a whole of economy basis. Against the backdrop of the UN’s 2023 Acceleration Agenda\, experts will discuss the various dimensions of legal acceleration to ensure a more equitable transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient global economy. \nThe 2023 ACCEL Distinguished Address will be delivered by Dr Ian Fry\, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change. Dr Fry will discuss important human rights and justice dimensions of the UN’s Acceleration Agenda\, including the need to integrate human rights standards and principles into accelerated climate action.  \nThe Distinguished Address will be supported by a series of panels in which leading experts will discuss the role and potential of legal accelerants in the context of climate finance\, climate litigation\, law and nature and the law of the sea. Speakers include Frances Anggadi (University of Wollongong)\, David Barnden (Equity Generation Lawyers)\, Gareth Bryant (University of Sydney)\, Zoe Bush (Environmental Defenders Office)\, Emma Carmody (Restore Blue)\, Arjuna Dibley (Sustainable Finance Hub\, University of Melbourne)\, Dominique Hogan-Doran SC (5 Wentworth)\, Tim Stephens (University of Sydney)\, Zoe Whitton (Pollination) and Rachel Walmsley (Environmental Defenders’ Office). \nDraft schedule\n8.30am Registration \n9.00am: Welcome and opening remarks \n9.15am: Legal acceleration and the role of climate litigation \nSpeakers: Dominique Hogan-Doran SC (5 Wentworth)\, David Barnden (Equity Generation Lawyers) and Zoe Bush (Environmental Defenders Office) \n10.30am: Morning tea \n11am Climate finance and accelerated climate action \nSpeakers: Arjuna Dibley (Sustainable Finance Hub\, University of Melbourne)\, Gareth Bryant (University of Sydney) and Kate Owens (ACCEL) \n12.30pm Lunch \n1.30pm  Nature restoration and the acceleration agenda \nSpeakers: Gerry Bates (University of Sydney)\, Emma Carmody (Restore Blue)\, Rachel Walmsley (Environmental Defenders’ Office)\, Rachel Killean (Chair\, University of Sydney) \n3.00pm Afternoon tea \n3.30pm Climate change and the Law of the Sea \nSpeakers: Ian Fry (Special Rapporteur)\, Tim Stephens (University of Sydney)\,  Frances Anggadi (University of Wollongong) and Chester Brown (Chair\, University of Sydney)   \n5.00pm Cocktail reception \n5.30pm 2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: Human rights\, climate justice and the UN Acceleration Agenda \nRegistration – now open\n\nFull day: $100\nPanel Discussions only: $70\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $40\n\nStudent rates\n\nFull day: $50\nPanel Discussions only: $35\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $20\n\nTuesday 31 October 2023\nVenue: Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School.

We are currently within an eight-week consultation period closing on 17 November 2023\, which makes this an opportune time to discuss reforms to improve the operation of the PPSA. \nThis seminar concerns s 267 of the PPSA and s 588FL of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)\, which are termed the ‘vesting provisions’. The former provides that an unperfected security interest ‘vests in the grantor’ upon the occurrence of specified events indicating the grantor’s insolvency. The latter provides that\, where a security interest is perfected only by registration and the grantor is a company\, that security interest ‘vests in the company’ upon the occurrence of specified events indicating the company’s insolvency if the registration time is outside one of several time periods. Much of the debate concerning these provisions thus-far has focused on s 588FL due to its more stringent timing requirements\, and there seemed to be consensus that this provision is unnecessary and should be deleted. Surprisingly however\, the Government proposed retaining it in its recent response to the Statutory Review of the PPSA. \nIn this seminar I will take a step back from the debate specifically concerning s 588FL\, and consider the broader question of what the vesting provisions seek to achieve in the first place. First\, I will identify their commercial significance by considering when they lead to different outcomes than those which would occur anyway under other provisions of the PPSA. Secondly\, I will identify the purported policy objectives underlying the vesting provisions\, and argue that none of these sufficiently explain their operation. Thirdly\, I will identify the costs of retaining these provisions\, and argue that these cannot be satisfactorily addressed through more discrete amendments to their scope. This leads me to conclude that\, while it may at first appear to be a radical solution\, we should delete both s 267 and s 588FL. \nAbout the speakers \nAdam Waldman \nAdam Waldman is the Colin Phegan Associate Lecturer at the University of Sydney Law School. His field of research is commercial law\, with a particular focus on the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (‘PPSA’) and\, more generally\, on the relationship between statute and the general law. Adam is also a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney Law School\, and his ongoing doctoral research examines the interaction between equity and the PPSA through the lens of the notion of unconscionability. \nAdam teaches in Equity\, Introduction to Property and Commercial Law\, Torts and Contracts II\, and Legal Reasoning. He is also a lecturer for the Legal Profession Admission Board’s Diploma in Law\, where he lectures on personal property in Commercial Transactions. \nAdam has previously worked at a boutique law firm\, as a research assistant to counsel in chambers and as a research assistant to a former Supreme Court judge. He has also worked as a researcher at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales\, in the areas of insolvency\, corporations law\, and banking and financial law. \nCommentator: Tony Ryan (Consultant\, Ashurst) \nTony Ryan is a consultant in the restructuring\, insolvency and special situations practice of Ashurst’s Sydney Office.

SUMMARY:Copyright and Generative AI: Best practices for LLM training and recent developments in U.S. litigation
DESCRIPTION:Copyright and Generative AI: Best practices for LLM training and recent developments in U.S. litigation\nAbstract \nGenerative AI based on large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT\, DALL·E-2\, Midjourney\, Stable Diffusion\, JukeBox\, and MusicLM can produce text\, images\, and music that are indistinguishable from human-authored works. The training data for these large language models consists predominantly of copyrighted works. This presentation and the accompanying article explore how generative AI fits within U.S. fair use rulings established in relation to previous generations of copy-reliant technology\, including software reverse engineering\, automated plagiarism detection systems\, and the text data mining at the heart of the landmark HathiTrust and Google Books cases. \nAlthough there is no machine learning exception to the principle of non-expressive use\, the largeness of likelihood models suggest that they are capable of memorizing and reconstituting works in the training data\, something that is incompatible with non-expressive use. At the moment\, memorization is an edge case. For the most part\, the link between the training data and the output of generative AI is attenuated by a process of decomposition\, abstraction\, and remix. Generally\, pseudo-expression generated by large language models does not infringe copyright because these models “learn” latent features and associations within the training data\, they do not memorize snippets of original expression from individual works. \nHowever\, there are particular situations in the context of text-to-image models where memorization of the training data is more likely. The computer science literature suggests that memorization is more likely when: models are trained on many duplicates of the same work; images are associated with unique text descriptions; and the ratio of the size of the model to the training data is relatively large. Professor Sag will talk through examples where these problems are accentuated and outline his proposals for initial best practices for “Copyright Safety for Generative AI” to reduce the risk of copyright and related infringement. \nAbout the Speaker \n \nMatthew Sag is a Professor of Law in Artificial Intelligence\, Machine Learning and Data Science at Emory University Law School. Professor Sag is an expert in copyright law and intellectual property. He is a leading U.S. authority on the fair use doctrine in copyright law and its implications for researchers in the fields of text data mining\, machine learning\, and AI. \nHe was born and educated in Australia and earned honors in Law at the Australian National University in Canberra and clerked for Justice Paul Finn at the Australian Federal Court. Sag practiced law London as an associate at Arnold & Porter\, and in Silicon Valley with Skadden\, Arps\, Slate\, Meagher & Flom. Prior to Emory\, he taught at DePaul University and Loyola Chicago; he has also held visiting posts at Northwestern University\, the University of Virginia and the University of Melbourne. \nSag is currently working on several theoretical contributions to copyright law in relation to AI and machine learning and a series of empirical papers using text-mining and machine learning tools to study judicial behavior. His work has been published in leading journals such as Nature\, and the law reviews of the University of California Berkeley\, Georgetown\, Northwestern\, Notre Dame\, Vanderbilt\, Iowa and William & Mary\, among others. His research has been widely cited in academic works\, court submissions\, judicial opinions and government reports. \nAbout the Moderator \n \nDaniela Simone is an intellectual property law scholar with a special interest in copyright law and the challenges of the digital age. Daniela holds DPhil\, MPhil and BCL degrees from the University of Oxford and a BA (English and French)/LLB (Hons I) degree from the University of Sydney. Daniela is a qualified lawyer and has worked at global commercial law firm\, Ashurst. \nPrior to joining Macquarie Law School\, Daniela was Lecturer in Law and Co-Director of the Institute of Brand and Innovation Law at University College London. Daniela was founder of the University of Oxford’s Intellectual Property Discussion Group (and its convenor until 2013). She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy with extensive experience in course design and innovative\, research-led teaching. \nDaniela’s research explores the intersection of law\, technology\, and culture. She is interested in collaborative authorship\, artificial intelligence\, the disruption new technology has brought to copyright law\, regulation of the internet\, the interaction between law and social norms\, the international IP system\, philosophy of IP\, and the regulation of cultural property. Her work embraces comparative and inter-disciplinary methods and she is keen to engage directly with stakeholders. \n  \n——————————— \nTime: 1.00- 2.00pm (arrivals are welcomed from 12.30pm to mingle and settle in with lunch) \nDate: Thursday\, 12 October 2023 \nVenue: In-person: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown\, Gadigal Land\, NSW 2006 (please follow directional signage on arrival) \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly co-hosted by the University of Sydney Law School and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S).

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar | Bathroom Bills and Liberal Rights
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Bathroom Bills and Liberal Rights\nIn-person event \nOn June 30th 2023 Florida’s House Bill 1521 came into effect. The bill requires that all trans people must use Florida public restrooms that align with the sex they were assigned at birth. This includes restrooms in all Florida airports\, government buildings\, schools and universities\, city parks and beaches\, and many Florida stadiums\, rest stops\, service stations\, and conferences. The implications of this bill are that all trans women\, for instance\, must use the men’s bathroom in these places even if they have had sex reassignment surgery\, have lived as a woman for decades\, or since they were a child\, are perceived to be a woman by everyone they meet\, and/or have changed their birth certificate\, their driving license\, and their passports so that they acknowledge that they are female or a woman. \nEarlier in 2023\, Kansas adopted a similar bathroom bill\, North Carolina adopted a similar bill in 2016-2017\, the UK government is considering adopting a similar law\, and at least 21 other US states have proposed similar bathroom bills. There has been a lot of discussion and criticism of these bathroom bills but no sustained case for their injustice (or their justice) has been made. This paper argues that bathroom bills like Florida’s breach trans people’s rights in three ways. I argue that we have the following three rights: (1) rights to not be made to subject ourselves to significant risks of harm in order to participate in the (face-to-face) public or social world; (2) rights to not be unjustly discriminated against; (3) rights to have our interests considered equally in lawmaking and policymaking. \nI argue that a variety of more specific liberal and egalitarian rights and claims\, made by a variety of liberals and egalitarians\, imply (1-3) and (1-3) are very intuitive. And I argue that bathroom bills like Florida’s breach trans people’s rights to (1-3). I argue that bathroom bills force trans people to risk significant harm in order to participate in the public or social world\, and refraining from adopting bathroom bills does not force anyone to incur any similar significant risk of harm to participate in the public or social world. I argue that the different philosophical theories of unjust discrimination that we have imply that bathroom bills are instances of unjust discrimination. And I argue that the adoption of bathroom bills does not involve equal consideration of trans people’s interests. \nAbout the speaker:\nAssociate Professor Rach Cosker-Rowland \nRach Cosker-Rowland is an Associate Professor in Moral and Political Philosophy at the University of Leeds. She is the author of The Normative and the Evaluative (OUP\, 2019) and Moral Disagreement (Routledge\, 2020) as well as the co-editor of Fittingness (OUP\, 2022).

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar | Contract law and reasons for action: A crash course in private law theory
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar | Contract law and reasons for action: A crash course in private law theory\nIn-person event \nIf contract law is to be authoritative\, it must mediate between the subjects of contract law and reasons for action they have. Either implicitly or explicitly\, this insight informs various approaches to the theorisation of this law. Some have tried to understand contract law as mediating ordinary moral reasons relating to promising. Others have argued that this law embodies duties of private right\, the sort of reasons that apply to us as independent individuals cooperating as equals. And there are others still who identify different sets of reasons for action special to the contractual relationship. \nIn my talk\, I will identify the common flaw shared by these different theories. I will explain why focusing our attention on contract law as an exercise of political authority—rather than authoritative in the abstract—paves the way not only to a better understanding of the normative basis for contract but also the broad stakes involved in the making of contract law. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr Arie Rosen \nArie Rosen is a legal theorist based at the University of Auckland Faculty of Law and a founding co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Legal and Political Theory. His work in legal and political philosophy focuses on political authority\, the grounds for its exercise\, the ideology that sustains it\, and the impact it has on law and practical reasoning. His work appears in various edited volumes and leading journals\, including Legal Theory\, the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies\, the University of Toronto Law Journal\, and the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence. His current project focuses on how political authority is exercised in the context of private law and what this can teach us about constitutional structures and the core commitments of liberal political morality. \nThursday 19 October 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:Webinar | Children's Rights and Participation in Youth Justice Systems: An International Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Children’s Rights and Participation in Youth Justice Systems: An International Perspective\nJoin the Youth Justice Research Collaboration at the University of Sydney and the Manchester Centre for Youth Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University at this free webinar. It will provide an opportunity for academics and professionals to detail and discuss the upholding of children’s rights and participation in the English and Australian Youth Justice Systems. There will be plenty of opportunities for interactive discussions about the enablers and barriers to meaningful participation in youth justice systems. Youth justice systems have been the focus of considerable scrutiny and review in many jurisdictions in recent years and many of these systems are grappling with how to better involve young people in shaping these systems. Practitioners and academics from England and New South Wales will talk about their work and research. The Forum will bring together key stakeholders working to prevent youth crime and to administer the various aspects of youth justice. Presenters will discuss latest trends\, research and policies in these areas and will showcase some of the relevant work across the University of Sydney. \nAbout the Speakers\n  \n \nProfessor Hannah Smithson– Professor of Criminology and Youth Justice\, Manchester Centre for Youth Studies\, Manchester Metropolitan University\, United Kingdom \nDr Hannah Smithson has worked within the field of criminology for over 20 years and she specialises in the area of youth justice. Hannah is the Director of the world-leading Manchester Centre for Youth Studies. Hannah is co-convenor of the award-winning Greater Manchester Youth Justice Partnership – a partnership between Man Met and each of the 10 Greater Manchester youth justice services. The partnership has led to the creation of a transformative new framework: Participatory Youth Practice (PYP). PYP is the first framework to be co-created with justice-involved children based on their lived experiences. PYP has had an impact on youth justice practice\, on national and international youth justice strategies\, and\, most importantly\, on justice-involved children themselves. Hannah works collaboratively with a variety of local\, national and international communities and stakeholders\, including professionals\, activists and third sector organisations.

SUMMARY:Gratuitous Concurrence and the Role of the Prosecutor
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series: Gratuitous Concurrence and the Role of the Prosecutor – Presenting a Fair and Firm Crown Case in the Face of Sociolinguistic Challenges\n  \nEthics & Professional Responsibility \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nA unique challenge faced in the adversarial system is that the prosecution only ‘wins’ when justice is done. An agreeable witness may\, prima facie\, seem like a blessing for those bringing the prosecution case. However\, the presentation of a fair and firm prosecution in the criminal justice system must be reconciled with three distinct considerations: \n\nThe over-representation of Indigenous Australians interacting with the criminal justice system;\nThe phenomena of gratuitous concurrence – that is\, the Indigenous Australian cultural practice of agreeing to direct questions to placate or appease the questioner; and\nA prosecutor’s obligation to act fairly to the accused\, act with integrity\, and be mindful of cultural sensitivities – especially those relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.\n\nHow\, then\, are a prosecutor’s obligations discharged in the face of appeasement? The presentation aims to give an overview of the role of the prosecutor\, as a minister of justice\, and the distinct ethical framework the Crown operates in. From that overview\, authorities which have developed and considered the phenomena of gratuitous concurrence are discussed. These decisions\, and ‘practical’ applications\, are contrasted with research and analyses of the phenomena within academia. The synthesis of academia and common law development are considered in extant justice stakeholder and law reform bodies\, and what recommendations have been made\, and are on foot. \nPresenters \nShannon Matchett is a solicitor employed by the NSW ODPP\, who currently practises in Wagga Wagga. Previously\, he prosecuted in Parramatta and the Sydney West Trial Courts. Shannon graduated from the University of New England in 2018 whilst employed as a researcher in criminology\, focusing on Family Law and judicial interpretations of the ‘best interests of the child’. Shannon’s major research interest concerns how psychology and the law intersect. He has previously presented CPDs on extra-curial punishment\, tribal punishments (and their status/recognition within statutory framework) – and is working towards a later presentation on assessing demeanour/body language\, and the perils of armchair psychology in the jury room. \n\n\nA recording of this webinar will be released on Thursday\, 26 October 2023. \nFind out more about the series.

DESCRIPTION:2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: Human rights\, climate justice and the UN Acceleration Agenda\nIn-person event \nThe United Nations Secretary-General’s Acceleration Agenda spells out the actions needed from government\, business and finance leaders to accelerate their efforts to deeply cut emissions and deliver climate justice to protect lives and livelihoods.
