  • Standing Advisory Committee for Medical Research in the British Caribbean
    1* PAN AMERICAN HEALTH FOURTH MEETING ORGANIZATION 14-18 JUNE 1965 ADVISORY COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, D.C. ON MEDICAL RESEARCH REPORT ON THE STANDING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN Ref: RES 4/1 15 April 1965 PAN AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION Pan American Sanitary Bureau, Regional Office of the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION WASHINGTON, D.C. RES 4/1 Report on THE STANDING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN (SAC)* Origin and Development After World War I, it became the policy of the British Government to decentralize research as far as possible, and to encourage territorial governments to share with the United Kingdom in the responsibility for planning, administering and financing research. With this object regional Medical Research Councils were set up in East and West Africa. At that time all the territories concerned were colonies. The East African Council represented Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda, the West African Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and Gambia. All these countries are now independent, and the West African Council has ceased to exist, but the East African one continues as an inter-territorial body responsible to a Council of Ministers. In the Caribbean region conditions were different; there was a much larger number of separate governmental units, all very smallcompared with those of Africa, and, with few exceptions, poor. It was felt that, at least in the early stages, it would not be reasonable to expect these territories to finance research themselves out of their slender resources. Therefore it seemed advisable as a first step to establish a committee to advise the British Government on the needs for medical research in the region, and it was hoped that later it would develop into an autonomous council with executive powers, like the councils in Africa.

  • Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Fire in the Tropical World*
    Proceedings: 6th Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference 1967 Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Fire in the Tropical World* ROBERT B. BATCHELDER Department of Geograpby Boston University F IRE HAS a long history of occurrence in the tropics, and its effects upon the physical and cultural environment have been profound. For various reasons, the frequency of occur­ rence of accidental fires prior to man's use of fire is believed to have been low, and the area subject to devastation limited. It is known that the areal distribution of humid tropical forests during the early Pleistocene was much greater than at present. Combustibility of such forests must have been very low because of the prevailing per­ humid forest microclimate, and fires once ignited would have had difficulty in spreading. It may be assumed therefore, that widespread burning would occur largely in geographic areas supporting grasses and open dry forest where the occurrence of an ecological dry period of sufficient duration and intensity would permit dessi- • This paper presents part of a more complete investigation into tropical fire sponsored by the U.

It must be remembered, however, that Pleistocene grass and brush lands were much less extensive than at present and probably occurred as enclaves in the extensive dense forest.

    B. Richardson Depression riots and the calling of the 1897 West India Royal Commission Questions why the West India Royal Commission of 1897 was considered necessary when serious distress already existed in the 1880s. Author argues that riots caught the government's attention much more readily than statistical data. Even minor disturbances could have distracted London from its preoccupation with the newer, more important parts of the Empire.

RICHARDSON DEPRESSION RIOTS AND THE CALLING OF THE 1897 WEST INDIA ROYAL COMMISSION Within the vastness of primary archival material that the British generated in describing, measuring, and administering their Caribbean colonies, few documents are so useful as those associated with Royal Commissions of Inquiry. The commissions themselves, of course, were aperiodic, problem- oriented phenomena, and they provided particularly important documen- tary records of the region in the period immediately prior to and following emancipation. Especially in the mid- to late-nineteenth century in the British Caribbean, when planters and freedmen were coming to grips with new social and economie arrangements in an environment clouded with old animosities, a number of commissions dealt with such issues as sugar cane production, labor immigration, financial issues, and social disturbances (Williams 1970:535-37). Commissioners were usually, though not always, sent from Britain to assess local problems. These problems or issues, fur- ther, were usually confined to a particular event, theme, or island, although the commissions on rare occasion were asked to survey the entire region.

  • “Women's Voices in Ancient and Modern Times”
    “Women’s Voices in Ancient and Modern Times” Speech delivered at the ANU Law Students’ Society Women in Law Breakfast 22 March 2021 I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay my respects to their elders— past, present, and emerging. I acknowledge that sovereignty over this land was never ceded. I extend my respects to all First Nations people who may be present today. I acknowledge that, in Australia over the last 30 years, at least 442 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody. It is a pleasure to be speaking to a room of young women who will be part of the next generation of Australian and international lawyers. I hope that we will also see you in politics. In my youth, a very long time ago, the aspirational statement was “a woman’s place is in the House—and in the Senate”. As recent events show, that sentiment remains aspirational today. Women’s voices are still being devalued. Today, I will speak about the voices of women in ancient and modern democracies. Women in Ancient Greece Since ancient times, women’s voices have been silenced. While we could all name outstanding male Ancient Greek philosophers, poets, politicians, and physicians, how many of us know of eminent women from that time? The few women’s voices of which we do know are those of mythical figures. In Ancient Greece, the gods and goddesses walked among the populace, and people were ever mindful of their presence. They exerted a powerful influence. Who were the goddesses? Athena was a warrior, a judge, and a giver of wisdom, but she was born full-grown from her father (she had no mother) and she remained virginal.

  • Notes for Lawyers Weekly
    Lawyers Weekly – Women in Law Awards Melbourne THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE RUTH McCOLL AO COURT OF APPEAL SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, 17 OCTOBER 2014 1 I am honoured to accept the Lasting Legacy Award this evening. 2 I am particularly honoured, in receiving the Award, to follow in the footsteps of Professor Gillian Triggs, the distinguished President of the Australian Human Rights Commission and former Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Sydney and Sharon Cook, the Managing Partner of Henry Davis York. Both have left large footprints in contributing to gender equality in the profession, footsteps I feel I can only tiptoe in. 3 I also thank Lawyers Weekly on its initiative in conducting this Awards Ceremony which, I am sure, plays a valuable role in communicating to the legal community and perhaps further afield, the success of so many terrific recipients across the board in legal practice. 4 I accept this Award, however, not only on my own behalf, but also, I hope, on behalf of the many women both who have preceded me in campaigning for gender equality in the legal profession and those who continue that campaign. Many of the latter are present tonight of course, including our keynote speaker, Fiona McLeod SC, a noted campaigner for gender equality and a distinguished past President of Australian Women Lawyers and another distinguished past President, Dominique Hogan-Doran. 5 Looking around this room this evening at this group of clearly highly successful women legal practitioners, it would be easy perhaps to lose sight of how far women have come in the legal profession.

We acknowledge that this was and always will be Aboriginal Land and are proud to be on the lands of one of the oldest surviving cultures in existence. We respect the knowledge that traditional elders and Aboriginal people hold and pass on from generation to generation, and acknowledge the continuous fight for constitutional reform and treaty recognition to this day.

  • Tipping the Scales: Equity and Diversity at the Bar1
    Tipping the Scales: Equity and Diversity at the Bar1 ByJane Needham SC On 14 March 1924 Eugene Gabriel Sayegh was called to the bar. His admission was moved before the full bench of the High Court by the attorney general of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Bavin. Sydney’s infamous tabloid at that time, The Truth, described him as ‘the only Syrian barrister in Australia’ and followed up with the superfluous observation that ‘foreign legal lights are few and far between in this country, so Mr Sayegh’s position is rather unique’.2 In fact, Eugene Sayegh was born in Auckland where he attended Sacred Heart College, before moving to Australia and graduating from Sydney Law School. According to The Truth, Sayegh had appeared in ‘several big lawsuits in which his countrymen have figured’, although it’s entirely unclear as to whether this meant Syrians or New Zealanders. As if anticipating disbelief on the part of its readers, The Truth’s correspondent felt the need to assure them of Mr Sayegh’s competence. Fourteen years later, in May 1938, William Jangsing Lee became the first Australian of Chinese heritage to be admitted to practise as a barrister in NSW.3 The Sydney Morning Herald, and at least ten other newspapers across the country, reported any were needed, can be found from the Bar Association’s own his admission. At the time, there were only 10,222 Chinese in records. When asked to identify proficiency in languages other New South Wales out of a population of 1.35 million. Briefs for than English, responses revealed only one Mandarin speaker, juniors were hard to come by in those days, but Lee’s ethnicity one spoke Arabic, one Hindi and there was a solitary Punjabi would have compounded the problem.

Michael Kirby AC CMG THE PAST Depending on the starting point one selects, this is a celebration of 125 years of the organised attorneys of New South Wales. Long before that time, the attorneys of the colony were banded together in a common cause. In 1824, they joined together to attempt to stave off the attempt by Robert Wardell and William Wentworth to exclude them from advocacy in the colony and to “confine them to their own profession1”. They also banded together in 1842 to confront Governor Gipps and to create the Sydney Law Library Society under the leadership of James Norton2. However, it was the formation of the Incorporated Law Institute of New South Wales in May 18843 that is usually taken as the starting point of the institutional life of the community of lawyers in this part of Australia. It is to commemorate that event that we come together to celebrate on this occasion.

  • Leading from the Bench: Women Jurists As Role Models
    Leading from the Bench: Women Jurists as Role Models Remarks by the Honourable Marilyn Warren AC, Chief Justice of Victoria on the occasion of American Chamber of Commerce in Australia ‘Women in Leadership’ Breakfast at Crown, Melbourne 12 February 2015 Précis Women currently account for about one third of the Australian judiciary; an extraordinary achievement in a relatively short time. This figure is echoed in the United States. The Hon. Chief Justice Marilyn Warren AC, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, celebrates the women who paved the way for judicial equality and who continue to act as role models and inspire others to continue the journey. Introduction Women are a relatively recent addition to the practice of law in Australia. It was just over a century ago in 1902 that Australia saw its first female law graduate, Ada Evans.1 Legend has it that her enrolment at the Sydney Law School was aided by a small stroke of good fortune or, rather, good timing. The Dean of Law at the time would never have accepted a woman, 1 Mary Gaudron, ‘Australian Women Lawyers’ (Speech to delivered at the launch of Australian Women Lawyers, High Court of Australia, 19 September 1997). Supreme Court of Victoria 12 February 2015 however luckily for Evans he was on leave at the time and her enrolment was accepted in his absence.2 Upon his return the Dean told Evans that ‘she did not have the physique for law’.3 However it was too late; Evans was not deterred. History had been made and the trailblazing had begun.
