PRELIMINARY MATTERS 1.1. *Attendance and welcome The meeting began at 2.00 pm on Monday 30 October 2006. The Chair thanked Dean Lavarch (QUT) for hosting the CALD meeting in Brisbane and for providing such excellent support that allowed the smooth meeting and pre-meeting arrangements. The Chair welcomed everyone, particularly the new Deans, Dean Bee Chen Goh (Southern Cross University) and Dean David Dixon (UNSW), and the deputies appointed by their Deans to represent their respective law schools (see list above). Dean Lavarch responded to the Chair’s welcome and extended the welcome of QUT. All attendees at the meeting introduced themselves. Several Deans told the meeting of their imminent departures from their deanships and thus from CALD from the end of 2006: Deans Sappideen (UWS), Kaye (Wollongong), and McQueen (Griffith). Several other Deans indicated that their current terms would expire in 2007 (Deans Davis (Flinders) and Fairall (Adelaide)) and that their future as Deans was uncertain. Dean McCallum (Sydney) was retiring from his Deanship in mid-2007 and Dean Crommelin (Melbourne) at the end of 2007. Dean Raff (ex-VU) was attending his first meeting in his new capacity as Dean at the University of Canberra. The Chair had introduced a new dynamic to the meeting structure of CALD. To enable a thorough discussion of all matters on the CALD agenda, CALD extended its meeting time to a half-day (Monday 30 October), followed by the traditional CALD dinner in the evening, and a full-day (Tuesday 31 October). 1.2. Apologies The apologies were noted (see list above). 1.3. *Starring of items Items with one star were for discussion; items with two stars were priorities; unstarred items were taken as read and noted. The Chair explained the structure of the meeting, bringing ‘Item 7: Internationalisation’ forward to the half-day meeting on 30 October 2006, as Mr Christopher Lee, representing the International Legal Services Advisory Council (ILSAC), had kindly attended the CALD meeting to present the ILSAC report. The Chair noted that the priority items for meeting 2006#3 were the election of office bearers (item 2.2), the business plan (item 2.3), the Carrick project (item 4.4), the standards project (item 5.4), the academic misconduct paper (item 6.4), and the ILSAC report (item 7.1). 1.4. *Confirmation of minutes of meeting 2006#2 The draft minutes of meeting 2006#2 held on 4 July 2006 at Victoria University, Melbourne, had been circulated and were accepted as true and correct. Resolution 2006/34: That the Minutes of the previous meeting be approved. 3 CALD Minutes, Meeting 2006#3 – QUT, Brisbane – 30 & 31 October 2006 1.5. *Matters arising from the minutes The Chair provided an update on matters arising from the 2006#2 meeting Action Sheet Checklist. Members were invited to raise any matters not otherwise arising on the agenda. The Chair noted two such matters: the employment of a research assistant to examine and organise the CALD archives, particularly with a view to extracting relevant material for inclusion on the CALD website (item 2.3, meeting 2006#1, pending); and the drafting of a resolution relating to the prolonged detention of David Hicks at Guantanamo Bay (item 2.8, meeting 2006#2, pending). The Chair undertook to report progress on the first matter at meeting 2007#1; Dean Fairall indicated that he would raise the Hicks matter for discussion on day 2 of the present meeting. 2. COUNCIL MATTERS 2.1. Membership/Constitution No business under this item. 2.2. **Election of office bearers The current terms of office of the CALD Executive, comprising Deans Coper (ANU, Chair), Ford (UWA, Deputy Chair), Raff (UC, Treasurer), Colbran (UNE), Croucher (Macquarie), and Lavarch (QUT), were all due to expire at the end of 2006. The Chair called for nominations, but foreshadowed that his ideas for the development of a business plan for 2007-2008 (see below) would, if accepted, have some implications for the structure of the Executive (the potential size of which is unlimited under the current CALD Constitution). The Chair also noted that he was not averse to continuing as Chair for one more year (that is, to the end of 2007), and indeed was keen to bring to fruition or at least make significant progress on many of the major projects that were just getting underway. Resolution 2006/35: That Dean Coper be re-elected as Chair for a further 12 months, that the current Executive remain in place for the time being, and that the structure and membership of the Executive be further considered at meeting 2007#1 in the light of progress made in relation to the Chair’s proposals for better succession planning, and for the establishment of CALD Standing Committees, as foreshadowed in the Chair’s paper ‘Notes for the Development of a Business Plan for 2007-2008’. 2.3. **Treasurer’s report The Treasurer’s report and attachments were circulated for discussion. The report provided graphs to explain the budgetary outlays and to give a clear picture of CALD’s current financial position, both as an end in itself and in order to assist discussion of the proposed Business Plan. The Treasurer explained that the bottom line of CALD’s profit and loss statement looked healthy, mainly because of the injection of funds from the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST), a one-off grant of $22,000 to support the redesign of a major CALD initiative, the publication of ‘Studying Law in Australia’ (discussion under Item 7.1.4). However, the statement was but a ‘snapshot’ of the current situation, and the DEST grant was expected to be fully spent on the SLIA project. CALD’s primary source of 4 CALD Minutes, Meeting 2006#3 – QUT, Brisbane – 30 & 31 October 2006 income is the membership of the 29 law schools (currently $1,600 per school). All subscriptions for 2006 have been paid. The Treasurer thanked Deans for their commitment and diligence in this respect, which had not always been the case in the past. Business Plan 2007-2008: The Chair had circulated just prior to the meeting and now tabled his paper entitled ‘Notes for the Development of a Business Plan for 2007- 2008’. The Chair spoke to the paper, which is attached to these minutes. The paper dealt with (1) CALD’s goals and objectives (in need of some refining and restatement); (2) CALD’s projects (in need of being crystallised, prioritised, and supported by substantial resources); (3) Enhancing CALD resources (two different approaches to membership fees were set out); and (4) CALD executive structures (six standing committees were proposed, as well as better succession planning, possibly on the basis of a rolling arrangement of Chair, Chair Elect, and Immediate Past Chair). The Chair was thanked for his paper, which was seen as important in improving the future operation of CALD as the peak body of Australian law schools, especially between plenary meetings. The proposal as to standing committees was adopted, with the current interim Executive to pursue the further issues of succession planning and the optimal structure of the CALD Executive in the light of the new committee system. The six standing committees are on Legal Research, Legal Education, Standards and Accreditation, Legal Practice, International Matters, and Development of the CALD Website. The only contentious matter was how to approach CALD membership fees for 2007 (bearing in mind that this was a major, but not the only, way to enhance CALD’s resources, with attention being necessary also to grant possibilities, such as the recent DEST grant to develop an electronic version of Studying Law in Australia and the pending Carrick Institute grant to enhance teaching and learning). The meeting considered two alternative approaches to membership fees for 2007, the common ground being that a substantial increase was justified to allow for an enhanced secretariat and more ambitious and effective project development.

  • Current Legal Issues Seminar Series 2012 Current Legal Issues Seminar Series 2012
    CURRENT LEGAL ISSUES SEMINAR SERIES 2012 CURRENT LEGAL ISSUES SEMINAR SERIES 2012 We are pleased to announce the fourth annual Current Legal Issues Seminar Series for 2012. The series seeks to bring together leading scholars, practitioners and members of the Judiciary in Queensland and from abroad to discuss key issues of contemporary legal significance. Session 1 An action for (serious) invasions of privacy Date: Thursday 7 June 2012 Venue: Banco Court, Supreme Court of Queensland, George Street, Brisbane Speaker: Professor Barbara McDonald, University of Sydney Bruce McClintock S.C., Barrister-at-Law Commentators: Patrick McCafferty, Barrister-at-Law Chair: The Hon Justice Applegarth, Supreme Court of Queensland Overview: Prompted by scandals more from abroad than at home, Australia may be on the cusp of adopting a statutory action for invasions of privacy. Many questions arise, with such an action having potentially wide-ranging ramifications, some beneficial, some not so, for the media and for individual citizens. Can these ramifications be confined by the drafting process? What advantages, other than speed, would a statutory action have over the incremental development of the common law? Can a statutory action more easily resolve the difficult balancing process that must always arise between rights to privacy and the public interest in freedom of speech, both in interlocutory relief and final orders? How does protection of privacy as an interest or right compare with the protection our law provides in other contexts, such as freedom from personal injury or damage to reputation? Depending on the progress of statutory reform at the time, this paper will consider the state of actual and proposed protection from invasions of privacy in Australia, with reference to typical situations, and include comparative perspectives from other jurisdictions grappling with similar issues.

  • Volume 40 1.Indb
    FOREWORD PROFESSOR BRYAN HORRIGAN* In early 1964, the fi rst law students attended their fi rst law lecture, given by the Foundation Dean, Professor David Derham, at the newly established law school at Monash University. Fifty years later, in mid-2014, Prime Minister Tony Abbott delivered a video-taped message to a crowd of more than 400 students, staff, and alumni gathered together in Melbourne to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Faculty of Law at Monash University. In particular, this 50th anniversary dinner celebrated fi ve decades of students passing through the doors of the David Derham Law School Building. The prime minister’s message of congratulations on that occasion is worth recording for posterity in this special 50th anniversary edition of the Monash University Law Review. Prime Minister Abbott told the audience, ‘I send my very best wishes to everyone celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Monash University Faculty of Law [and] I pay particular tribute to your history of achievement in becoming one of our country’s most respected law schools’. He added that ‘you have laid the foundation for your students to excel and to strengthen our country’, noting that ‘members of my own team … started out as law students at Monash University’. Almost 40 years after the doors of the Faculty of Law fi rst opened, the fi rst external academic review of the Faculty concluded that ‘[a]ll the best aspects of the Monash Law School must be celebrated’ and ‘[t]he Faculty has sustained a reputation for quality and innovation for nearly four decades’.1 More than a decade after that external review, the assessment of the Faculty by historians and co-authors, Peter Yule and Fay Woodhouse, in Pericleans, Plumbers and Practitioners: The First Fifty Years of the Monash University Law Schooll (Monash University Publishing, 2014), is that ‘Monash law school is at a high point as it celebrates its fi ftieth anniversary, but it will require continual innovation, reinvention and fl exibility if it is to maintain that position until its centenary and beyond’.

  • 17Th ASLI Conference 2020 – 3 & 4 June 2020
    17th ASLI Conference 2020 – 3 & 4 June 2020 Name of Author : Francis SL Wang (Convener) – Speaker 1 Designation / Academic Post : Part-Time Professor Institution / Organisation : International Association of Law Schools Panel Category : Legal Education Panel Title : Sense and Sensitivity II: Rational Legal Discourse on Sensitive, Challenging and Controversial Subjects – Conflicting Western and Asian Approaches in Defining the Meaning of the Rule of Law. Participation Type : Panel Submission – P1 This paper continues the initial work presented at the 2019 ASLI Annual Meeting – “Sense and Sensibility: Teaching Sensitive, Challenging and Controversial Subjects”. The collaborators shall continue the exploration of teaching and researching Sensitive, Challenging and Controversial (SCC) topics in the context of legal education and the rule of law. The paper will contrast Western and East Asian foundational philosophic assumptions in shaping legal thinking. Sensitive, Challenging and Controversial (SCC) test the boundaries of belief, cultural imperatives, and definitions of the rule of law. The authors will discuss the results of student surveys in a variety of jurisdictions to consider potentially different attitudes among law students in different cultures. The paper will juxtapose various cultural Asian perspectives and contrast them with the currently accepted neoliberal democratic Western perspective that any issue is subject to full, open and unfettered freedom of speech and debate. That position is bolstered by the assertion that it would lead to better governance outcomes. This view is that all topics are amenable to rational debate. With the rise of Asian nations in wealth and political influence, this model is being challenged by a more tightly controlled discourse which privileges stability and conformity.
