SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Flourishing in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Flourishing in the Anthropocene\nSpeaker: Associate Professor Nicole Graham\, Sydney Law School \nProgressive property theory presents a recent corrective to atomistic theories that isolate property interests from the network of relations and obligations arising from the sociality of organised human society. The ‘social obligation norm’ that underpins progressive property theory stretches back to Aristotle’s philosophy of eudemonia (‘human flourishing’ or ‘living well’) written in the 4th Century BC. But property is not timeless; the world has changed. The rise of global greenhouse gas emissions above pre-industrial levels is rapidly transforming the climate of the planet – presenting an existential crisis on a scale far greater than the individual\, society\, and species. For millennia\, Western theories of property\, including progressive property\, have been dominated by anthropocentric notions of law and land. However\, the concept of community\, central to progressive property theory\, foregrounds and prioritises both materiality and relationality\, making possible a more viable theory of human-earth relations for the 21st Century. The arrival of the Anthropocene calls for a planetary understanding of ‘community’ that encompasses its disowned human and more-than-human members\, whose labour in Capital’s shadow lands provide the conditions of modern Western proprietorship. ‘Living well’ through the 21st century will involve reframing social obligation as existential imperative to model a viable property regime. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr Nicole Graham is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Law School. She teaches and researches in the fields of property law and theory\, and legal geography. Nicole has written on the relationship between law\, environment and culture with a particular focus on property rights\, natural resource regulation and the concept of place. \n  \nThursday 11 August 2022\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School. Please indicate your viewing preference when registering. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: The Conscience of Trust
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: The Conscience of Trust\nSpeaker: Professor Irit Samet\, King’s College London \nAt the heart of the modern trust lies a glaring paradox: how has a legal institution that is repeatedly referred to by the courts as rooted in a duty of conscience become infamous for helping individuals to achieve goals that are patently unconscionable? \nWith every brazen leak of documents from offshore jurisdictions and the ensuing investigation into the financial affairs of the super affluent\, it becomes clear that the trust is now a widely used vehicle for evading duties owed by property owners to creditors\, dependants and the community. A dangerous trend of importing practices and trust structures from offshore jurisdictions to established onshore trust regimes threatens to further accelerate the corrosion in the reputation of the trust. Any comprehensive solution for the acute legitimacy problem faced by the trust must be multi-systemic. \nIn this paper\, I focus on one aspect of it: the normative basis for the trust obligation. Looking at the conceptual edifice that underlies the trustee’s obligations\, the paper argues that what worked for the problems that afflicted traditional trust relationship may not be suitable when facing the challenges of modern trusts. However\, the way in which the concept of ‘conscience’ functions in this area of the law can be useful for reformers who wish to protect (what is left of) the good name of trusts. In particular\, it can help us build the necessary moral authority for recent judicial interventions that aim to undo the damage of reckless offshore trust forms. I look into the way the courts of equity lift the concept of conscience from moral discourse and what this means for the moral standing of beneficiaries to make claims on the basis of trusts that are designed to create ‘orphan property’. \nAbout the speaker:\nIrit Samet is a Professor in the Dickson Poon School of Law\, which she joined in 2008. She was previously a Lecturer in Law at Mansfield College\, Oxford (2006-2007)\, and a lecturer at the University of Essex (2008). She read law and philosophy in Israel and completed her doctorate at Oxford. Her main research interests lie in the Law of Equity\, Property Law\, and the theory of private law. She published papers on these subjects in leading journals (like OJLS\, MLR)\, and her book on the theory of Equity Law was published by OUP in 2018. She is a course convener for the undergraduate module of Equity and Trusts\, and teaches philosophy of property law as an option B part of the Jurisprudence course\, and research seminars in property law. \n  \nThursday 18 August 2022\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Jealousy of trade\, from the Scottish Enlightenment to neoliberalism
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Jealousy of trade\, from the Scottish Enlightenment to neoliberalism\nSpeaker: Associate Professor Jessica Whyte\, UNSW \nIn this talk\, I trace the Scottish Enlightenment debates about what David Hume termed “jealousy of trade”—that is\, the transformation of international commerce into a political concern of states and a cause of international conflict. I revisit these debates – in a context marked by new trade wars and military conflicts within a highly integrated global economy – in order to propose a new understanding of neoliberalism. Against the dominant understanding of neoliberalism as primarily an economic ideology\, I argue that early neoliberals (notably Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises) drew from the Scottish Enlightenment to portray market competition as the necessary condition not of economic efficiency but of social and international peace. Against laissez-faire\, they portrayed the market (and peace) as a legal order\, not a natural order. In this vein\, they also pioneered new forms of economic coercion to restrict the options of democratic polities\, and to pacify market societies. \nAbout the speaker:\nJessica Whyte is Scientia Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales with a cross-appointment in the Faculty of Law. Her work integrates political philosophy\, intellectual history and political economy to analyse contemporary forms of sovereignty\, human rights\, humanitarianism and militarism. She is the author of Catastrophe and Redemption: The Political Thought of Giorgio Agamben\, (SUNY 2013) and The Morals of the Market: Human Rights and the Rise of Neoliberalism (Verso\, 2019). \n  \nThursday 25 August 2022\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School. Please indicate your viewing preference when registering. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.
