Issue 46(1) to Launch on 18 April 2023

The University of New South Wales is excited to announce the launch of Issue 46(1) on 18 April 2023.

We are delighted to welcome Rachel Davis, Vice-President and Co-Founder of Shift, to deliver the keynote address on the Issue 46(1) launch topic: ‘Human Rights, Corporations and Communities’. Shift is a non-profit organisation regarded as the leading centre of expertise on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Over the last decade, Rachel has led work at Shift on standard-setting, human rights and sports, financial institutions, conflict and international law. Rachel is a graduate of Harvard University and the University of New South Wales, and a former Issue Editor of the University of New South Wales Law Journal.

The theme of the launch is inspired by several articles exploring rights protections for a wide range of communities – most particularly, Alan Zheng and Beth Goldblatt’s respective articles discussing state-inflicted violence on Palm Island, Queensland, and links between climate and racial harms in Moree, New South Wales. A second set of articles discusses subjects such as corporate social licence, crowd-sourced equity funding, and philanthropy’s relationship with justice. The launch topic seeks to put human rights protections in touch with concerns about corporate wealth, economic inequity and distributive justice.

The other articles in Issue 46(1) address a variety of relevant legal topics, including: emissions reduction, religious and testamentary freedoms, planning and development, intelligence law, and family violence.

The launch event for Issue 46(1) will take place at 6pm on Tuesday 18 April 2023 at the Sydney Office of Premier Sponsor Allens.

Please RSVP by 12pm on Tuesday 11 April 2023 via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/unsw-law-journal-issue-461-launch-tickets-596473687857

Guests will receive name tags upon arrival, so please register each attendee’s details individually.

Call for Submissions to the University of New South Wales Law Journal Issue 46(4)

‘Power, Workers and the Law’

The UNSW Law Journal is currently welcoming submissions for the thematic component of Issue 46(4), which is ‘Power, Workers and the Law’.

Australian workers’ collective power has dwindled over the past few decades. Union density in Australia decreased from 40% of employees to 14% from 1992 to 2020, despite workers facing increasing precarity due to factors including stagnating wages, job instability in casualised work, and the gig economy’s expansion. Workers and unions are regulated by an industrial relations legal regime which has been criticised by the International Labour Organization for falling short of international labour rights standards.

However, union activity has recently attracted media attention. Internationally, unionisation efforts at Amazon warehouses and Starbucks workplaces have been successful; while in New South Wales, public sector unions like the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, the Nurses and Midwives Association, and the Teachers Federation have taken disruptive industrial action in 2022. Furthermore, the Albanese Labor Government announced ‘immediate’ reforms to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (‘FW Act’)at its Jobs and Skills Summit in September 2022, including the introduction of multi-employer agreements and the modification of the Better Off Overall Test during enterprise bargaining.

In light of the recent surge of union activity and federal proposals to reform the FW Act, Issue 46(4) intends to publish submissions demonstrating a substantial connection to Australian labour, employment, and industrial relations law. While the Journal particularly encourages submissions examining collective labour law (eg, concerning trade unions, collective bargaining, industrial action), it also invites contributions which generally examine the law’s influence upon workers’ collective and individual power, agency, and vulnerability, as well as the future of work in Australia in light of increasing automation and gigification.

In writing submissions, authors may wish to explore the following issues. However, authors are not limited to these areas of law and are encouraged to draw upon their own areas of expertise.

Industrial Relations Law

  • The Albanese Labor Government’s proposed reforms to the FW Act, and their likely impact upon enterprise bargaining.
  • Provisions in the FW Act which regulate industrial action (eg, pre-strike ballots, good faith bargaining requirements).
  • The extent to which legislative reform can strengthen bargaining power, considering the overall decline in union membership density.
  • Legislative reform proposals which confer or strengthen collective bargaining rights for vulnerable workers, including independent contractors, gig workers, temporary migrant workers etc.

Trade Union Regulation

  • Long-term impacts of the 2015 Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption.
  • The Albanese Labor Government’s plans to shut the Australian Building and Construction Commission, and the appropriateness of the Fair Work Ombudsman to take over its role.

Legal Profession and Industry

  • Comparative studies between unionisation in Australian legal workplaces, and international legal workplaces. For example, the Aotearoa Legal Workers’ Union formed in New Zealand in February 2019, and legal aid criminal barristers in England and Wales voted to escalate industrial action to an indefinite strike in August 2022.
  • Barriers or enablers to unionisation in Australian legal workplaces.
  • The effectiveness of professional associations (eg, NSW Law Society) in addressing lawyers’ working conditions.

Criminalisation

  • Sex worker agency between jurisdictions which criminalise sex work (Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia), license sex work (Queensland, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory), decriminalise sex work (New South Wales and Northern Territory), or decriminalised work and introduced anti-discrimination protections to protect people from discrimination on the basis of their profession (Victoria).
  • Criminalisation of wage theft, and the efficacy of such laws.

Contract Law

  • The use of strict contractual interpretation to determine employment status, as adopted by the High Court in Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union v Personnel Contracting Pty Ltd (‘CFMEU’) and ZG Operations Australia Pty Ltd v Jamsek (‘Jamsek’), and how an employment relationship may be correctly interpreted where the contract is unclear.
  • The impact of CFMEU and Jamsek upon the power dynamic between employers and employees, particularly vulnerable workers like gig workers.

Social Theory

  • The role of unions as an exemplar of social movements, and the position of social movements and civil society actors in our legal system.

The submission deadline for the thematic Issue 46(4) is 31 March 2023, with publication set for late November 2023. Any changes to these deadlines will be updated on the Journal’s website.

Submissions should be between 7,000 and 13,000 words in length, excluding footnotes. The style guide for the Journal is the fourth edition of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, as supplemented by the latest edition of the Journal’s ‘Additions’, which is available on our website.

The Journal is an independent, peer-reviewed publication. While publication is subject to peer review, publication decisions remain at the Editor’s discretion, in counsel with the Executive Committee of the Journal. The Journal does not publish articles that have been, or will be, published elsewhere, either in identical or substantially similar form. Please contact the Journal at law.journal@unsw.edu.au if you are interested or have queries about submitting for Issue 46(4).

If you intend to submit an article, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please provide some early indication of your proposed topic or area of research. We strongly encourage you to pass this call for submissions to any colleagues, research networks or organisations who may be interested in making a submission.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Ho
Editor, Issue 46(4)

Call for Submissions to the University of New South Wales Law Journal Issue 46(2)

Life Sciences: Ethics, Innovation and the Future of Law

 

The University of New South Wales Law Journal (‘Journal’) is currently welcoming submissions for Issue 46(2). The Issue will comprise both a thematic component and general component. The thematic component will address the topic of Life Sciences: Ethics, Innovation and the Future of Law’.

At no other time in history has the intersection of life sciences and the law been so patently observable, yet complex. Life sciences concern the study of ‘living organisms, their life processes, and their relationships to each other and their environment’.[1]They encompass a substantial scope of biological inquiry, including, ecology, reproductive technologies, neuroscience, immunology and genetics, among many others.

The life sciences, as both an industry and area of research, is anticipated to experience significant growth in the coming years, fuelled by digital transformation, collaboration and heavy investment in the context of the COVID19 pandemic.[2]These factors place the law’s approach to the growing life sciences industry at the forefront of its trajectory. Science’s impact on law, however, is not unilateral; the ‘constant, mutually constitutive interplay of biological and legal conceptions of life’ also define our social norms.[3]The onus then falls upon the law to navigate the morally, ethically and culturally turbulent waters of society’s response to developments in the life sciences.[4]The close integration of life sciences and the law will continue to be of significance in the coming years, as the interaction between the two fields will be responsible for crafting ‘desirable futures’ through the creation of new technologies.[5]The importance of publishing highquality Australian scholarship in this area cannot be overstated.

Issue 46(2) seeks to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by legal responses to developments in the life sciences and how these futures reflect or obscure accepted ethical norms. By providing a scholarly platform to these issues, Issue 46(2) intends to amplify Australian voices within an increasingly topical legal domain and generate academic debate on the future of Australian legal development.

Noting these intentions, the Journal welcomes contributions that examine the relationship between the law and life sciences, and the implications of this interaction within a wider construct of ethical considerations. In writing submissions, authors may wish to explore the following issues. However, authors are not limited to these areas of law and are strongly encouraged to draw on their own areas of expertise.

Health Law
• The complicated regulatory environment of xenotransplantation in Australia;

• The legal and ethical implications of the recently passed Mitochondrial Donation Law Reform (Maeve’s Law) Act 2022 (Cth); and

• The legality and ethicality of genomic testing in life insurance.

Tort Law
• Scope for the possibility of new causes of action unique to situations concerning assisted reproductive technologies, including ‘wrongful genetic connection’ and ‘wrongful disturbance of reproductive planning’; and

• In-vitro fertilisation and wrongful life claims.

Criminal Law
• The legal and ethical concerns pertaining to the advent of novel forensic methodologies, such as investigative genetic genealogy;

• Reliance on genetic markers to predict patterns of criminality and the legal implications of shifting criminal liability onto an offender’s biological identity;

• The possible creation of a new category of international crime for the irresponsible manipulation of gene editing technology; and

• The use of neuropsychological indicators as mitigating factors in sentencing.

Intellectual Property Law
• The difficulties in reconciling the legal, scientific and ethical interests associated with section 18(2) of the Patents Act 1990 (Cth), particularly in relation to human embryonic stem cells, detached human body parts and artificially grown organs;

• The increasing prevalence of biopiracy;

• The prospect of safeguarding genetic privacy rights (and the associated biosecurity concerns) in the selling of genetic information by large genealogical corporations, such as AncestryDNA and 23andMe; and

• Intellectual property rights concerning plants and animals.

Human Rights
• The inadequacy of current human rights protections against emerging
neuropsychological practices, such as the potential use of brain printers as biometric authentication devices, and the need to introduce new human rights including the right to mental privacy;

• Whether the genome editing of human embryos violates a fundamental human right to inherit a genome without deliberate manipulation; and

• The role of life sciences in understanding the development (and continuing evolution) of human rights within the broader scope of human behaviour.

Environmental Law
• Evolving conceptions of legal personhood following the granting of personhood status to natural environments such as the Whanganui River in New Zealand, and the granting of similar protections to Victoria’s Yarra River, and subsequently the possibility of granting legal personhood to the Great Barrier Reef.

The submission deadline for the thematic Issue 46(2) is 18 November 2022, with publication of Issue 46(2) set for late July 2023. Articles must be between 7,000 and 13,000 words in length (excluding footnotes). The style guide for the Journal is the current edition of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, as supplemented by the latest edition of the Journal’s Additions’. Please visit our submissions page here for further submissions guidelines and to submit.

The Journal is an independent, peerreviewed publication. Although all submissions received are subject to peer review, decisions as to publication remain at the discretion of the Editor, in counsel with the Executive Committee of the Journal. The Journal does not publish articles that have been, or will be, published elsewhere, either in identical or substantially similar form.

Call for Submissions to the University of New South Wales Law Journal Issue 45(3)

Second 2022 Thematic: ‘Law and Economics’

The UNSW Law Journal is currently welcoming submissions for Issue 45(3). The Issue will comprise of both a thematic component and a general component. The topic for the thematic component is ‘Law and Economics’.

Despite being lauded by Professor Bruce Ackerman of the Yale Law School as ‘the most important development in legal scholarship of the twentieth century’,[1] the law and economics movement in Australia has not flourished beyond the traditionally accepted fields of antitrust, corporate, and taxation law. This is regrettable given that the impact of an economic analysis of law extends beyond academia to the practice of law and implementation of public policy. The fact that law and economics provided the intellectual foundations to the deregulation movements in the 1970s and reforms to criminal sentencing in the United States federal courts attests to the significance of this methodological paradigm.

The value an economic analysis offers is to provide a scientific theory that can predict the effects of legal sanctions on behaviour.[2] To achieve this, economists have developed empirically sound methodologies (statistics and econometrics) and mathematically precise theories (price theory and game theory) to provide a  quantitative assessment.[3] Recent advances in behavioural economics and cognitive sciences have also offered a theory as to how people respond to changes in law. Importantly, economics specifies a normative standard for evaluating law and policy: efficiency. Research into fields like nudge theory and search heuristics can provide insights to policymakers about how to encourage and discourage a range of behaviours to achieve economically efficient outcomes. Quantitative reasoning and empirical research are the bread and butter of an economist and tools which lawyers can learn from to enrich their understandings of the behavioural consequences of the law. Issue 45(3) thus aims to enliven discussions in the Australian legal landscape about the value of law and economics.

The submission deadline for the thematic Issue 45(3) is 4 February 2022, with publication of Issue 45(3) set for late September 2022. Articles must be between 7,000 and 13,000 words in length (excluding footnotes). The style guide for the Journal is the current edition of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, as supplemented by the latest edition of the Journal’s ‘Additions’. Please visit our submissions page here for further submissions guidelines and to submit.

If you have any queries about submitting for Issue 45(3), please contact the Journal at law.journal@unsw.edu.au.

Call for Submissions to the University of New South Wales Law Journal Issue 45(1)

First 2022 Thematic: ‘Abuse of Power’

The UNSW Law Journal is currently welcoming submissions for the thematic component of Issue 45(1). The topic for this thematic component is ‘Abuse of Power’.

Over the past 12 months, COVID-19 has, justifiably, been the main focus of legal and popular discourse within Australia. However, as we begin to emerge from the pandemic and re-evaluate our legal system, we are increasingly uncovering abuses of power by both private and government bodies. These include sexual assault allegations within Australia’s own Parliament House and findings of sexual harassment within the High Court, wage theft of vulnerable and migrant workers, the stripping of funding to the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and the increased spotlight on Indigenous deaths in custody.

One of the primary responsibilities of the law is to hold those in power to account, and ensure such power is not misused. The volume and seriousness of recent abuses raises the question of whether the law is sufficiently fulfilling this imperative function. Issue 45(1) aims to answer this question, shedding light on contemporary abuses of power both seen and unseen that impact the lives of everyday Australians. In light of this, the Journal invites contributions that explore how the law both facilitates and responds to abuses of power.

The submission deadline for the thematic Issue 45(1) is 3 September 2021. Publication of Issue 45(1) is set for late March 2022. Any changes to these deadlines will be indicated on the Journal’s website.

Articles for print publication in the Journal must be between 7,000 and 13,000 words in length (excluding footnotes). The style guide for the Journal is the current edition of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, available online, and as supplemented by the latest edition of the Journal’sAdditions’.

If you are interested in, or have any queries about, submitting for Issue 45(1), please contact the Journal at law.journal@unsw.edu.au.

Issue 44(1) to Launch on 8 April 2021

The University of New South Wales Law Journal is excited to announce the launch of Volume 44, Issue 44(1), on 8 April 2021. To launch Issue 44(1), we are very pleased to be holding a panel discussion on Issue 44(1)’s key theme, ‘Rights Protection amidst COVID-19’. The panel discussion will feature Mr Edward Santow, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner. Mr Santow was appointed Human Rights Commissioner in August 2016 and is also a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law, a Visiting Professorial Fellow at the University of New South Wales, and a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Human Rights and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The panel discussion will also feature three authors from Issue 44(1): Professor Michael Legg, Dr Chris Martin and Dr Sara Dehm.

Issue 44(1) is comprised of seven articles which expand on the Issue’s theme, and six articles which cover an array of independent topics. The thematic articles discuss a breadth of topics in light of COVID-19, including: potential legal challenges to triage decisions in intensive care units; the parallels between the legal regimes governing immigration detention centres and residential aged care facilities as sites of confinement; the capacity and limits of international law to address the twin crises of refugee protection during COVID-19 and future displacement linked to climate-change; the use of remote hearings and Audio-Visual Links by courts during COVID-19; state and territory COVID-19 emergency measures regarding evictions and rent liabilities; the expansion of executive power in times of crisis; and the scope, application, and implications of criminal offences relating to the containment of COVID-19 in Australia. The articles independent of Issue 44(1)’s theme also represent an impressive body of legal scholarship, covering topics such as: the 2018 Australian High Court’s constitutional term in its inter-institutional context; the possibilities and limits of using corporate culture as a regulatory mechanism; the role of social entrapment evidence in self-defence cases involving intimate partner violence; the constitutional validity of using the Australian Defence Force in recent crises; the development and disruption of the notion of ’substantial identity’ and its analogues in Australian trademark law; and lessons for Australia from the UK’s regulation of financial advisers.

The launch will take place on Thursday 8 April 2021 via online live stream from the Journal’s YouTube channel, at 6:30pm. The link will be provided closer to the date.
