Valuing Practice: The Place Of Practical Legal Research In Academic Life., K. F. Maxwell, J. Pastellas
Valuing Practice: The Place Of Practical Legal Research In Academic Life., K. F. Maxwell, J. Pastellas
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Practical legal training has traditionally been the poor relation of the legal education family. Along with the similarly placed clinical legal education, it is a latecomer to formal legal education and its academic value is regarded with some reservation by those involved in more mainstream areas of academia. These reservations are not entirely unfounded. While few could deny the value of practical legal training in terms of teaching and contribution to the legal community, it is in the contribution to research and scholarship that practical legal training may be seen to be less successful. Few academics who teach in practical …

The Myth Of Homogeneity And The 'Others': Foreign Labour Migration And Globalization In The Case Of Japan, Hironori Onuki
The Myth Of Homogeneity And The 'Others': Foreign Labour Migration And Globalization In The Case Of Japan, Hironori Onuki
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This essay will examine the multi-dimensional dynamics of global labor migrations participating in and facilitated by globalization, by analyzing Japan's contemporary experience of rapidly intensified foreign labor immigration. Japan has not considered itself as a country of immigration until recently. Since Japan's prewar self-modernization period, conservative political discourse has conceptualized the modern nation-state as a racially homogeneous entity. This discourse established the cultural and political foundation for Japanese identity, and Japan's relationship with the outside world. Consequently, the incorporation of culturally and ethnically different Others has been deemed a threat to the harmony of Japan's homogeneous society. Yet, beginning in …
El Anatocismo, Cinco Años Después (O La Resaca Del Banquero Anarquista), Luis Gomez Romero
El Anatocismo, Cinco Años Después (O La Resaca Del Banquero Anarquista), Luis Gomez Romero
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
RESUMEN: El autor expone el impacto que ha tenido el concepto de anatocismo en el derecho mexicano, al dar a conocer, primero, las distintas posturas adoptadas en torno del anatocismo, y al presentar, después, la exposición de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación. El autor considera que la interpretación de la Suprema Corte de Justicia es equívoca, pues limita sobremanera la función de interpretación jurisdiccional de las cortes, y porque se adhiere a la tesis económica sobre el anatocismo, protegiendo intereses de clase, cuando debió de haber fallado en contra del anatocismo y a favor de un régimen …

Constitutionalism And Shari'a, Nadirsyah Hosen
Constitutionalism And Shari'a, Nadirsyah Hosen
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Constitutionalism is the idea that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority depends on enforcing these limitations. Lane explains that two ideas are basic to constitutionalism: (a) the limitation of the state versus society in the form of respect for a set of human rights covering not only civic rights but also political and economic rights; and (b) the implementation of separation of powers within the state.

Changing The Channel: What To Do With The Critical Abilities Of Law Students As Viewers?, Cassandra Sharp
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
It is now generally acknowledged within the cultural studies tradition that media can actually be consumed in a mediated sense - that is, oppositionally and not hegemonically. The viewer is no longer seen as powerless and 'vulnerable to the agencies of commerce and ideology', but rather as both selective and active. Law students, as viewers, are constantly interpreting, transforming and producing meaning in relation to the images of law presented to them. They are utilising this process to not only make sense of the law, but also to analyse and reflect on their personal ideas and values in light of …
Australia's Regulation Of Genetically Modified Crops: Are We Risking Sustainability?, Fern Wickson
Australia's Regulation Of Genetically Modified Crops: Are We Risking Sustainability?, Fern Wickson
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) crops is being accompanied by a debate with scientific, social, ethical, legal and metaphysical dimensions. In the face of this complex debate, governments need to regulate GM crops in a way that minimises negative impacts on biological and social environments. This paper is a critical examination of Australia's regulatory framework for the deliberate environmental release of GM crops, specifically in terms of its ability to advance ecologically and socially sustainable agriculture. Following a description of the novel nature of GM crops, I discuss how the approach selected, the definition of key terms and the …

Developments In Australian Fisheries Law: Setting The Law Of The Sea Convention Adrift?, Warwick Gullett
Developments In Australian Fisheries Law: Setting The Law Of The Sea Convention Adrift?, Warwick Gullett
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Significant developments have recently occurred in the ongoing campaign by the Australian Government to combat illegal foreign fishing in Australian waters, particularly against Patagonian toothfish poaching. On 22 March 2004 significant amendments to Australia’s fisheries laws were passed by the Commonwealth Parliament to improve regulatory efficiency and combat illegal foreign fishing in the Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ). In addition, on 12 March 2004 the Federal Court of Australia delivered a landmark decision in Olbers v Commonwealth of Australia (No 4) [2004] FCA 229 concerning the automatic forfeiture of foreign vessels to the Commonwealth of Australia at the time when a …

Relying On Fishy Advice: The Ostrowski Decision, Warwick Gullett
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
On 16 June 2004, the High Court of Australia decided in Ostrowski v Palmer [2004] HCA 30 that the defence of honest and reasonable mistake of fact cannot be used on the basis that a commission of a strict liability offence was induced by the provision of misleading advice from a government agency. In the case the High Court reinstated a conviction against a Western Australian rock lobster fisherman for fishing in a marine life protection zone despite the fact that the fisherman, Mr Jeffrey Palmer, had gone to the WA Fisheries Department to find out where he could fish, …
What’S In A Name? The Changing Definition Of Weeds In Australia, E. Arcioni
What’S In A Name? The Changing Definition Of Weeds In Australia, E. Arcioni
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Changes in cultural values since 1788 have influenced our perceptions of, and approaches to, foreign plant species and the way in which we have defined what is a “weed”. This article is an historical overview of the concept of “weeds” in Australia from 1788 to the present. This article follows changes in the definition and concludes with an analysis of the way in which elements of historical definitions can be seen in today’s legislative and policy regimes.

Co-Operation Or Sovereignty? Achieving Federalisation Of Corporate Regulation , J. M. Marychurch
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
This paper will analyse the tensions between the harmonisation of law and the maintenance of sovereignty of member states in federal systems. The paper will focus on Australia and the European Union and the pressures faced, in light of the impact of globalisation, to resolve the issues that have plagued both jurisdictions for decades in achieving a satisfactory and sustainable model for corporate regulation on a federal level.

Dimensions Of Legal Diversity In Corporate Structure: Linking The Global And The Local, J. M. Marychurch
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
This paper will address diversity in legal culture at the local and member state level and its impact on corporations striving to attain global competitiveness in the 21st century economy. The example of the European Union – which has been struggling to meet the demands of a global economy in relation to corporate structure and organisational management, while simultaneously maintaining diversity in legal and regulatory culture at a local level – will be considered. Significant lessons can be learned from Australian experience in managing corporate structure and regulation to meet the needs of industry and of government regulators at a …

Nota introductoria. Interpretacionjudicial y politica
Los jueces hacen politica.' "Hasta ahora", sefiala Alf Ross sobre el particular, "Ia politica juridica ha sido principalmente considerada como politica legislativa. Pero el derecho no es creado unicamente por ellegislador [ ... ] toda administracion de justicia contiene un punto de decision que va mas alia de la actividad intelectual" (Ross, 1994: 321). En otras palabras, ]a administracion de justicia (y, consecnentemente, la interpretacion judicial del derecho que es presupuesto de esta) no es una labor meramente intelectual 0 cognoscitiva, sino que se caracteriza por un elemento volitivo que ]a vincula en fonna definitiva …

La Gastritis De Kant: Vuelta Al Problema Del Estatuto Epistemológico De La Jurisprudencia, Luis Gomez Romero
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Para comenzar un diálogo con el breve y sustancioso trabajo sobre el estatuto epistemológico de la jurisprudencia (en el sentido amplio del término, esto es, entendido como “conocimiento del Derecho”, y no como “sentencias de los tribunales”) que Alejandro Nieto y Agustín Gordillo han presentado bajo el título de Las limitaciones del conocimiento jurídico (2003), parece pertinente recordar la (relativamente) reciente polémica entre el escritor y semiólogo Umberto Eco, y el novelista Antonio Tabucchi, sobre el papel del intelectual frente a la cotidianeidad del poder.

Indigenous Courts And Justice Practices In Australia, E Marchetti, Kathleen Daly
Indigenous Courts And Justice Practices In Australia, E Marchetti, Kathleen Daly
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Indigenous participation in sentencing procedures has been occurring informally in remote communities for some time. During the late 1990s, formalisation of this practice began in urban areas with the advent of Indigenous sentencing and Circle Courts. Formalisation has also occurred in remote areas. The aim has been to make court processes more culturally appropriate, to engender greater trust between Indigenous communities and judicial officers, and to permit a more informal and open exchange of information about defendants and their cases. Indigenous people, organisations, elders, family and kin group members are encouraged to participate in the sentencing process and to provide …

This is an excerpt from the fourth chapter of Shady Cosgrove's The Varens Obsession. Set in the 1830s, the novel responds to Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre in a Rhysian tradition by exploring the life of Edward Rochester's mistress, Celine Varens. Celine was an opera dancer/courtesan and mother to Adele Varens (the child who inspired Jane's arrival at Thornfield)...

Bodies On The Line: Physical Protest, Wendy Varney
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The usefulness of organised protest is often called into question in this electronic media-dominated age, when to bring bodies together around a demand or set of demands can seem somewhat archaic. So many of the occasions where we previously had to turn up personally have been superseded as we connect frequently but briefly, spontaneously but not necessarily simultaneously. Slogans have become eclipsed by SMS texts. So many of our messages are in cyberspace rather than on calico banners. Is there the need for physical protest? I will argue that there is, but that we need to understand how our protests …
Famine And Fanaticism: A Response To Kekes, Keith Horton
Famine And Fanaticism: A Response To Kekes, Keith Horton
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In this paper, I critically discuss a number of arguments made by John Kekes, in a recent article, against the claim that those of us who are relatively affluent ought to do something for those living in absolute poverty in developing countries. There are, I argue, a variety of problems with Kekes' arguments, but one common thread stems from Kekes' failure to take account of the empirical research that has been conducted on the issues which he discusses.
The Noxious Weeds Act 1993 (Nsw) – Balancing People, Planet And Profit?, E. Arcioni
The Noxious Weeds Act 1993 (Nsw) – Balancing People, Planet And Profit?, E. Arcioni
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Does the legislative system of weeds management in NSW balance the interests of people, planet and profit? Weeds pose a threat to agriculture, human health and the natural environment and therefore require management to address those threats. Such management is challenged by the need to balance the negative effects of weeds on a variety of interests with the financial costs and detrimental side-effects of the weed management itself. The central legal element of the weed management system in New South Wales is the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 (NSW). The Act cannot be considered in isolation. It must be considered in …
