The University of New South Wales Law Journal is pleased to invite you to the launch of Issue 41(3) on 27 September 2018. The Issue is the only thematic Issue for the year, and features twelve articles on the theme of ‘Vulnerability and the Law’ along with a foreword by Professor Jonathan Herring.

We are delighted to be welcoming Emeritus Professor Rosalind Croucher AM, President of the Australian Human Rights Commission, and Ms Rosemary Kayess, Visiting Fellow at UNSW Law, Interim-Director of UNSW’s Disability Innovation Institute, and Member of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to deliver their thoughts on elements of the theme in a keynote panel discussion.

The twelve articles in the Issue address a range of topical legal issues. These include: social security law; workplace discrimination for employees with a disability; forced marriage; gendered hate speech; mental health law, policies and systems; police complaints mechanisms; immunity from criminal liability for police, corrections staff and other law enforcement officers; leave provisions for working women undergoing IVF treatment; legal protection for consumers who require additional decision-making support; Indigenous constitutional vulnerability; procedural fairness in the Australian ‘Fast Track’ refugee status determination regime; and reform of the Safe Haven Enterprise visa.
