Annual Report 1 Overview of the Centre for Legal Research 2015-2016

The Centre for Legal Research (CLR) was established by the University in October 2002. It promotes and co-ordinates the research activity within the School of Law. The CLR is fortunate to be home to a large number of scholars, research associates and postgraduate students who specialise in a wide range of subject areas and legal disciplines. We are passionate about the law, its ability to change people’s lives and the ways in which our own work can affect change regionally, nationally and across international borders. CLR scholars are at the forefront of many legal and policy debates, knowledge exchange and public engagement activities. Our scholarship informs national and international legal developments, impacting on the lives of people in the wider community, as well as government and business. The CLR and its research is organised into five subject-based research units covering: Commercial Law; Criminal Justice; Environmental Law; Family, Gender & Equality and International Law & Human Rights. As you will see from the unit events detailed in this report, 2015-16 has been a very busy year for the CLR. Its members have been engaged in a wide variety of research, seminar and conference activities. We have hosted speakers from around the world, and provided a forum for debate and public engagement. Our work has impacted on policy debates within government, the scholarly community, businesses, charities and the voluntary sector. I hope you enjoy reading about our achievements as much as I have enjoyed working with colleagues who have done so much to promote understanding, research excellence and community impact over the last 12 months.

2 Centre for Legal Research The overall purpose of the Centre for Legal Research

The Centre for Legal Research (CLR) aims to support the research policy of the Bristol Law School by working to further improve the research reputation of the School, to broaden the base of active researchers and to increase the level of research funding. It seeks to do this by providing a mechanism for securing external recognition for the research capabilities of the School, to assist the research units to develop their own identities and reputations, and by providing a supportive structure for research active staff whether or not they are members of a research unit. Key Aims of the CLR • Improve the quality of research and publications in the Law School. • Increase the level of funding secured for research, and from other research-related activities such as conferences. • Develop the public profile of the CLR. • Improve the internal profile of the CLR, and knowledge and appreciation of research activity within the School. • Increase the rate of citations of work published by centre members and develop other esteem indicators. Research Units The CLR comprises five research units headed by a research active academics: Commercial Law; Criminal Justice; Environmental Law; Family, Gender & Equality and International Law & Human Rights. Members of these research units include colleagues from other faculties, as well as undergraduate, LLM and PhD students in the School of Law. Aims of Research Units • to act as a subject focus for research and research funding bidding and to develop experienced bidding teams reflecting areas of research expertise; • to facilitate more effective management of research, and to encourage research expertise across the School; • to help fulfil the goal of widening participation in research through the provision of a more specific focus for subject-related research activities; • to organise research specialism and publications for the next REF; • to raise the external profile of the Law School’s research activities.

Annual Report 3 Unit Reports Criminal Justice Unit

Introduction The Criminal Justice Unit provides a forum for criminal justice research activity within UWE. We support our members in the development and implementation of their research and other scholarly activity. We actively support research funding applications and encourage collaboration both within the unit and in the wider academy.

The CJU provides a platform for members to present The Unit aims to provide a platform for external speakers their research, and each meeting allows for at least one to come to UWE in order to present on an aspect of research paper to be presented by a member of staff; criminal justice and encourage debate and knowledge this allows for discussion and development of ideas transfer and exchange. The details of two such events are to ensue so that presenters get the most out of their provided below. It is anticipated that more events, and paper and feedback and discussion. There is clear cross- more diverse events will be run through/with the Unit, as disciplinary appeal as regards the research presented. members are periodically asked whether they would like The Unit has members from Law, BILP, Education, run an event or invite a guest speaker to the University. Criminology, Public Health, and HAS, and it is hoped that the Unit will continue to grow and involve active membership from members from a wide range of disciplines.

4 Centre for Legal Research Unit Events Guest Speaker: Dr Jay Levy Dr Jay Levy conducted research in Sweden over several years, focusing on the outcomes of the criminalisation of the purchase of sex. He came to present his findings at UWE in November 2015, at a seminar that was well attended by students and staff from the Law school and beyond. The topic was relevant to student coursework on the Gender and the Law module, and this presentation was particularly timely as Parliament called for evidence on this matter in early 2016 – the students and lecturers on the Gender module submitted evidence on this matter. Guest Speaker: Dr Anna Carline Dr Carline (University of Leicester) came to UWE in March 2016 to give a paper focusing on the potential criminalisation of the purchase of sexual services in England and Wales. This paper allowed for different perspectives and a different approach to be taken to the topic, as the previous speaker had undertaken empirical research in Sweden, whereas Dr Carline had examined the proposed model for England and Wales through the lens of critical legal theory.

Funding and Fellowships Prof. Phil Rumney and Dr Rachel Fenton are working on a project led by Prof. Marianne Hester of Bristol University which was awarded an ESRC grant worth £780,000. The project is entitled: ‘Inequality, Justice and Gender Based Violence’.

Unit member awards, external recognition etc Dr Mary Young has engaged in various workshops: • 2016 Workshop: FSA at Henley Business School. • 2016 Interview: Wall Street Journal, Bristol Cable. • 2015 Interview: BBC Radio Wiltshire , Latin Lawyer. Jessica Elliott was contacted for discussion by the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner’s office, a centre-right thinktank (Bright Blue), and BBC Radio 4 regarding a Report that was drafted and released following a research project undertaken with Unseen, who are an anti-trafficking organisation based in Bristol.

Annual Report 9 Environment Law Unit Annual Report

Introduction The Environmental Law Research Unit aims to support staff and students in their research by providing a forum that allows members to engage in collaborative and individual research as well as supporting student-led research events such as a student led Environmental Law Conference.

This year the Environmental Law Unit organised two events: a Distinguished Professorial Address (DPA) by Professor Randall Abate on Atmospheric Trust Litigation in the United States and a Centre for Legal Research (CLR) Funded Roundtable on Global Governance for Sustainable Development. The Unit also coordinated and provided support to the students organising the 2016 Inter-University Environmental Law Student Conference held at Bristol University. In addition, there were numerous other events organised and participated in by individual members of the Unit.

The Unit continues to support various projects and initiatives such as the Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment (GNHRE) and the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law as well as initiatives by individual members such as the Blue Marine Foundation.

The Academy recognizes that environmental legal education is a vital contributor to the rule of law and to robust environmental governance essential for sustainable development and can be achieved through: • Development and delivery of programs aimed at building university teaching capacity in environmental law; • Generation of global research programs with major partners to feed into national and international environmental law and policy agendas; • Convening major international conferences and exchange through the efforts of its Secretariat and its electronic communications. As countries seek to achieve global environmental sustainability and to increase their capacity for the development and implementation of international and national environmental law, the IUCN Academy can draw on its international resources to help achieve the following: • Build individual talent and institutional capacity in environmental law and policy as a vital contributor to effective international environmental governance; • Advance understanding of some of the most pressing environmental law and governance issues and propose strategies to address these issues from a legal perspective; • Contribute to developing new legal mechanisms to meet urgent demands for sound global, regional and national governance.

Annual Report 13 Family, Gender and Equality Unit Annual Report

Introduction The Family Gender and Equality Unit (FGEU) is the focus for a broad range of research activity. The Unit forms part of the Centre for Legal Research, and as such provides support and advice for its members in the development of their research and scholarly activity. The research areas covered by the FGEU are diverse and wide ranging and Unit members are active across several multi-disciplinary areas as well as those specific to law.

The Unit actively seeks and supports new members, The key objectives for the academic year 2016/2017 collaborations and funding applications from within the are therefore to: develop the regular and informative Department of Law, but also across the University and meetings and events; to build the membership base; and in the wider research community. As well as providing to ensure all Unit members are offered support with any support, the FGEU is a forum for members to present identified research needs. their current research to the Unit. These meetings give Two new research-active Unit members have been members the opportunity to hear about each other’s work recruited this year. in more detail and to help develop ideas and initiatives for future research and collaborations. The meetings also provide a forum to discuss the direction of the Unit and for future plans and opportunities to be developed. The Unit started this reporting year with a new Unit head, Lauren Devine. On taking up the role it was clear that the Unit needed revitalising as there had been little research activity over the previous year. Without handover from the previous Unit head, the first task was to take stock and produce the outstanding annual report. Having contacted the members for input, a core group of the research active members responded with an update on their activities. From the responses it was clear that there was a small group of Unit members who are research active and keen to engage with the Unit going forward. The challenge for the new Unit head was firstly to re- establish an active group, and then to look at updating and refreshing the Unit’s profile, including its webpages, and to arrange meetings to discuss and develop its future direction. By the end of the reporting year, the Unit’s active members had been well established, support has been offered to all members, and several planned papers and talks have been discussed and planned which should help to re-establish more engagement via normal regular meetings and events during the next year.

Large parts of the evidence relating to sexual disciplinary network based in the South West established violence committed by peacekeepers were used and with the aim of influencing policy and practice in child cited in the report of the Select Committee on Sexual protection and safeguarding. Violence in Conflict – Sexual Violence in Conflict: A War Crime, 12 April 2016. The submission suggested a number of options to monitor State compliance in relation to the protection of women from sexual violence in armed conflict, eg the reporting system established by the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women, the creation of a Working group on Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict, a better use of the current Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Arrangements. Further, the submission pointed out that despite the zero-tolerance policy of the United Nations, and good progress shown in the last few years, sexual violence perpetrated by peacekeeping personnel remains a significant problem. With this view Dr Quénivet proposed a number of remedies to address the lack of accountability and notably supported the ‘naming and shaming’ list of United Nations- troop-contributing countries (TCCs) that fail to either investigate the allegations or report the measures adopted within a certain timeframe. Dr Noelle Quénivet was a discussant on ‘ICJ, Germany v Italy’ at ‘Feminist International Judgments Project: Women’s Voices in International Law’, SOAS (UK), 18 September 2015.

Annual Report 17 International Law and Human Rights Unit Annual Report

Introduction This year the International Law and Human Rights Unit organised two events, a panel discussion on asylum-seekers and refugees with a keynote speech by Paul Dillane, the Executive Director of UK Lesbian and Gay Immigration Group, and a presentation by Landry Dossan on the conditionality of international aid.

The interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research trend set a couple of years ago by including staff members from other faculties and departments was maintained by the organisation of events discussing the law in its context. For example, a panel on the asylum process discussed the psychological aspects of interviewing asylum- seekers. The Unit also assisted a group of undergraduate students to set up a series of workshops on the European Union.

The Unit continues to support various projects and initiatives, such as the Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment (GNHRE) of which Ms Grant and Dr Das are members of the core team and Euro Rights, a blog and twitter account managed by Dr Quénivet.

It was followed by a panel discussing the legal profession’s ability to deal with the cultural and vulnerability issues and whether law students, generally, are prepared for ‘real-life’ law after successfully finishing their law education. The panel was comprised of Paul Dillane, Miltos Hadjiosif (Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences, UWE) and Adam Reuben (UWE Student).
