  • Victims of the System Papers & Presenters
    FOURTEENTH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE JUNE 2013 VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM PAPERS & PRESENTERS John Elferink MLA, NT Attorney-General & Minister for Justice Aged 46, John Elferink was born in the Netherlands, moving to Darwin as a young child. He joined the NT Police as a 17 year-old cadet, rising to the rank of Sergeant, and was working as an Alice Springs based policeman at the time of his surprise victory in the outback seat of MacDonnell at the 1997 election. Mr Elferink was re-elected in 2001, and held the seat until 2005. In 2008 he was elected to the seat of Port Darwin. While in the police force he undertook a Bachelor of Arts by correspondence. While a parliamentarian, he did likewise to obtain a Bachelor of Laws, and was admitted to practice in 2009. His vision for his electorate is crime to be a rarity rather than constant. Trevor Riley CJ (NT Supreme Court) – “Victims of the System: a view from the Bench” The theme of the conference is Victims of the System. The sessions identify a variety of people who may presently be regarded as victims of the system. This paper will look at the relationship between the Judiciary and the other arms of government and comment upon the prospect that, rather than solving perceived problems, recent and proposed legislative schemes may create further victims. Trevor Riley was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory in 2010, having been a Justice of the Court since 1999. Chief Justice Riley had practiced at the Northern Territory Bar since 1985, and was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1989.

Researchers at the university's Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics conducted hundreds of tests on drivers with varying levels of THC in their system to study whether there was any link between cannabis and driver impairment. The program's academic director Iain McGregor said the research, which is yet to be published, raised concerns. "The tests are particularly poor at detecting when people have a lot of THC in their system so they can be really stoned and getting a negative test," he said.

Philosophical, Pedagogical and Practical Concerns Kate Seear Monash University _____________________________________________________________________________________ Follow this and additional works at: https://ler.scholasticahq.com/ This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 4.0 Licence. DO LAW CLINICS NEED TRIGGER WARNINGS? PHILOSOPHICAL, PEDAGOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONCERNS KATE SEEAR∗ I INTRODUCTION In recent years, there has been growing concern about poor mental health among both law students and lawyers. 1 Concerns about the mental health of law students and lawyers are often traced back to the mid-1980s in North America, emerging from a series of studies that examined lawyers’ and law students’ physical and mental health and wellbeing, rates of alcohol and other drug use, suicidal ideations and more. In Australia, where I am based, these concerns are also the subject of considerable debate and attention. Several scholars attribute the Australian interest in these issues to the publication of the landmark Courting the Blues report in 2009.2 Following the publication of that report, there has been something of an explosion of work3 in this space, and a series of initiatives designed to address mental health and wellbeing, both at law school and among practitioners. In 2006, for ∗ Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, Monash University. 1 I am indebted to my PhD student Claire Carroll for bringing much of this literature to my attention, and to the work of scholars such as Paula Baron and Christine Parker, for their collation and analysis of it.

  • Time to Define 'The Cornerstone of Public Order Legislation': the Elements of Offensive Conduct and Language Under The
    534 UNSW Law Journal Volume 36(2) TIME TO DEFINE ‘THE CORNERSTONE OF PUBLIC ORDER LEGISLATION’: THE ELEMENTS OF OFFENSIVE CONDUCT AND LANGUAGE UNDER THE SUMMARY OFFENCES ACT 1988 (NSW) * JULIA QUILTER ** AND LUKE MCNAMARA *** I INTRODUCTION This article addresses a contradiction that has long been at the heart of the criminal law concerned with ‘public order’. Although crimes such as offensive conduct and offensive language are amongst the most frequently prosecuted offences in Australia, their legal nature is poorly understood and rarely the subject of judicial scrutiny or academic explanation. In the context of ongoing controversy over whether such offences have a legitimate place on the statute books, we confront this oversight. This article draws on the High Court of Australia’s decision in He Kaw Teh v The Queen 1 to lay out a methodology for construing the elements of a statutory offence, and then employs this approach to produce a recommended interpretation of the elements of sections 4 and 4A of the Summary Offences Act 1988 (NSW). * This article has its origins in our work as criminal law teachers, and in our respective lead contributions to the public order chapters of criminal law textbooks: Donna Spears, Julia Quilter and Clive Harfield, Criminal Law for Common Law States (LexisNexis Butterworths, 2011) ch 8; David Brown et al, Criminal Laws: Materials and Commentary on Criminal Law and Process of New South Wales (Federation Press, 5 th ed, 2011) ch 8. We would like to thank our teaching colleagues, students and co- authors for the many stimulating conversations we have had over the years on the topic of public order offences generally, and offensive conduct/language laws in particular.
