Cultural Conflicts, Annelise Riles

Law and Contemporary Problems

Riles show how contemporary anthropological insights into the character of cultural difference and cultural fragmentation can reframe conflict-of-laws analysis in productive ways. Taking up the example of the treatment of Native American sovereignty in US courts, she argues that a theory of conflict of laws as a discipline devoted to addressing the problem of cultural conflict is more doctrinally illuminating than the mainstream view of conflict of laws as political conflict. Riles suggests that the general dissatisfaction with conflicts as a field in the United States, and its failure to live up to tits larger promise, may stem in part …

Nlnu V Eastern Regional Integrated Health Authority, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

This is a policy grievance regarding the Employer's Attendance Management Program. The Union does not believe some sections conform with the Collective Agreement. The Employer is willing to accept guidance if some aspect of the Program is inconsistent with the Agreement.

The grievance succeeds in part. The grievance is dismissed except that the Employer is directed to amend the written policy to reflect the manner in which the policy is actually applied. Jurisdiction is retained to assist with the implementation of the award, if needed.

Indigenous Self-Determination And The State, Shin Imai

Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)

The right of indigenous self-determination is now accepted at both the national and international level, but the exercise of the right to self-determination does not connote any specific institutional arrangement. This chapter, from the forthcoming book, Indigenous Peoples and the Law: Comparative and Critical Perspectives (Hart Publishing, Oxford), describes a variety of arrangements in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. Indigenous people have the greatest political autonomy in the sovereignty/self-government model found in the United States and in the latest self government agreements from Canada. The self- administration/self-management model provides for indigenous entities to deliver social services and …

Management Plans And State Of Environment Reports Prepared And Implemented By Local Councils In Nsw: Problems And Potential For Biodiversity Conservation, Andrew H. Kelly

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)

The Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) demands every local council in NSW to prepare, inter alia, a ‘management plan’ and a ‘state of the environment report’. This paper critically examines both mechanisms and the relationship between them. Discussion is underpinned by the context of biodiversity conservation at the local level. Whilst good intentions lie behind the legislative requirements, their environmental benefits are questionable. They are often recognised as little more than bothersome bureaucratic hurdles. Although overdue legislative and policy change is forthcoming, concern is raised about loss of focus on the conserving biodiversity.

(Excerpt)

The topic of this symposium issue sponsored by the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) is the role of the labor and employment law professor as a public intellectual. Despite the baggage accompanying the phrase "public intellectual," the symposium topic is an important one, for the term carries more meaning than a mere "talking head" or "media figure" can express. To make theoretical ideas more accessible to others, to connect theory and practice, to explain academic or scholarly ideas in a way that the public can understand—these ideas resonate with my philosophy of the law professor's role. In fact, …
