Conferences/Seminars Professor Dan Svantesson had the rare honour of being an invited visitor to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg from April 23-May 5. He was hosted by the Cabinet of the Swedish Judge – Judge Carl Gustav Fernlund – and gave a talk on ‘Internet jurisdiction’. He also had meetings with several judges and their associates and met up with the Privacy Commissioner of Luxembourg, who had arranged for a visit to the Council of State where the President gave a guided tour and spoke about the role of the Council in the 2nd Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network on February 26-28 in Ottawa, Canada. This high-level, invitation-only event gathered key senior-level representatives from around the world to build trust, bridge policy silos, and enable multi- stakeholder cooperation. The focus of the conference was on how to manage the coexistence of national laws on the Internet.

Court of Justice Building

Professor Dan Svantesson was invited to join the ‘Hague Summit for Accountability & Internet Democracy – Shaping an Internet of Values’ on May 31 in the Peace Palace, The Hague. The submit hosts were the City of the Hague, the Institute for Accountability and Internet Democracy (IAID) in partnership with the UNESCO, the ITU and the Association for Accountability and Internet Democracy (AAID). The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Kasja Ollongren opened the Summit. International dignitaries included the Director-General of UNESCO Audrey Azoulay, Secretary General of the ITU Houlin Zhao and member of the UK House of Lords, Lord David Puttnam. Professor Jonathon Crowe was invited to the University of Cambridge in May to deliver a presentation in the Symposium on Adjudication, entitled ‘What gives meaning to statutory rules and constitutional provisions?’. He was joined by the Hon. Robert French (Former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia) amongst other internationally acclaimed speakers.

He also gave a talk to the Australian Legal Philosophy Students Association at the UQ Law School in Brisbane on April 18. The title of his presentation was ‘Natural Law for the 21st Century’. The abstract of his presentation is as follows:

• John Finnis, the leading contemporary natural law theorist, explains that natural law is based on a set of basic

goods that are ‘self-evident’, ‘indemonstrable’ and ‘underived’, along with a collection of principles of practical reasoning that are analogous to mathematical principles and therefore ‘have no history’. In his talk, Professor Crowe will present an alternative vision of natural law that draws on insights from contemporary philosophy, psychology and social theory, arguing that natural law is objective and normative, but nonetheless historically extended, socially embodied and dependent on contingent facts about human nature. This view of natural law offers significant explanatory advantages over Finnis’s theory—as well as over leading contemporary versions of legal positivism.

Engagement and Impact Assistant Professor Victoria (Tory) Baumfield was interviewed by the Gympie Times in October 2017 regarding the issue of changes to Council’s water services and the effect on consumer water rates. The issue remained in the media and led to Tory being interviewed on ABC Radio, Channel 9 Gold Coast News and various print media in April and May this year. The ABC interview ran across 50 ABC radio stations, including ABC Radio National, the Gold Coast, and Sunshine Cost. The online news story contains a link to the audio of the interview, click here to listen.

However, I would love to be able to use Victoria as a contact as her comments far surpass anything I have ever seen on this topic. (Not that I have read everything on it but I have covered the price path issue since Allconnex days and have tried to keep readers involved. It was always difficult to get concise and pointed information and commentary. She has done this and the release sent was excellent.

Academic Spotlight Visiting Professor – Peter Bowal

Peter Bowal, from the University of Calgary, is a visiting academic who is teaching Canadian Constitutional Law at Bond Law School during semesters 181 and 182. In addition to constitutional law, he is a specialist in employment law and, in particular, the regulation of whistleblowing. In 2005, he was the first to develop and teach a whistleblowing law course in Canada.

Peter developed the ‘mandate, compensate and tolerate’ model of approaches to whistleblowing regulation. Up to now, whistleblowers are far more likely to be merely tolerated by the law than motivated by it. He says, ‘while there are cultural differences in how whistleblowing is viewed across countries, almost everyone who witnesses wrongdoing would rather “walk than talk”. And virtually everyone who has summoned the courage to blow the whistle in a high stakes context has regretted doing so.’

Employment Law Defines and Reflects Society

Australia and Canada share similar political and cultural histories, and similar legal systems and norms. Peter wanted to teach in Australia, and his interest in employment law seemed a natural fit. He reached out and Monash University invited him to teach Australian employment law in 2015 and 2016. ‘I thought, how different can the legislation and common law of employment be in Australia, so I jumped right in. I quickly discovered that it is a wholly different universe, a product of Australia’s unique and deep history, culture and politics. The level of government controlling employment law in Australia was different to me, as well as much of the essential terminology, and even the union and non-union interface. I was grateful that most of those students at Monash were foreign. A few attentive Australian students with some decent work experience could have readily outed me as a lightweight in the subject of Australian employment law because I was not conversant in all the nuances.’

Page 8: ASPIRATIONS & INSPIRATIONS

The Monash experience taught Peter that some legal subjects are profoundly embedded in the social and political histories and cultural fabric of the host nation. Yet, he did not want to give up on Australia. ‘The opportunity to come for a semester or two to Bond fit my tastes perfectly,’ he smiled. It allowed me to teach Canadian Constitutional Law (with which I am more familiar), but at the same time also compare notes of how things are done in another country and another university. The climate and Commonwealth Games were bonuses.’

Personal Research Perspectives

Peter has been a legal academic for 35 years, most of that time housed in a business school. ‘This has brought both advantages and disadvantages,’ he acknowledges. ‘Colleagues tend not to take you seriously when you are the only one in your field. They are inclined to discount your work if they don’t do it or understand it, especially as it is qualitative in nature. For business academics, equations and squigglies are the only coin of the realm. They say “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”. Of course, law does not work that way because it is essentially doctrinal.’

One advantage of being a law prof in a business school is the exposure to different approaches. The main one that Peter has embraced is the transformation of technical legal decisions into business-style cases. He has written dozens of these cases. Judicial decisions provide the publicly accessible (often riveting) facts and human / legal tensions. The task is to convert these real life human stories into captivating lessons on the content of the law, and to build skills in class of drawing distinctions, providing support for one’s position, and developing strategy.

Another focus of Peter’s work, as a result of his location in a business school, has been public legal education. He has written hundreds of non-technical explanations of the law for laypersons, with students as co-authors. Most of these have appeared in the online journal, LawNow.org, which receives 700,000 hits per year. ‘That is quite a multiple of more reads than my punctilious law review articles enjoy,’ he laughs. ‘Indeed, the first Bond student appeared as a co-author last semester. Since I am the editor of the Famous Cases and the Employment Law columns at LawNow.org, there will be many more of these articles co-authored with Bond Law students published this year and into next year.’

A Random Fact About Peter

Peter clerked for the Alberta Court of Appeal, represented Canada at the United Nations, was twice a Fulbright Research Chair in the US, and has served as a Justice of the Peace for 12 years.

But one of the least known facts about Peter is that he was working as speech writer and administrative assistant to the Chief Justice of the United States, William H. Rehnquist, in Washington DC when 9/11 happened. ‘That devastating terrorist attack and the discovery of anthrax spores in the Supreme Court building the same year made for an extraordinary experience. My year at the Court followed the controversial Bush v. Gore judicial decision. The year before that saw the impeachment of President Clinton. I had the pleasure to work with all the Justices of the US Supreme Court and each of the nine operated as a separate law chambers.’

Current Research Projects

Peter likes to combine his experience in Australia with some comparative legal research in Canada. As a result of his visits to Monash, his article comparing the approaches of Australia and Canada responding to sensitive American security around military and aeronautical manufacturing in their respective countries is published in the current issue of the Canadian Bar Review. He observes, ‘so much can be learned from how other countries address the same problem. In fact, I recommended that Canada adopt the Australian exemption approach to show how a country can both accommodate US demands to screen out Arabic-background employees and still win work on these projects.’

Also while at Monash, he discovered a legal solution used in the state of Victoria that addresses a persistent occupational health and safety problem in the scope of dangerous work. As the Chair of the OHS tribunal in Alberta, he recommended it to his government. He has articles in development for two Australian law journals.

Page 9: ASPIRATIONS & INSPIRATIONS

He observes that Canada and Australia face the similar legal issues and can learn from each other. ‘We both gave national apologies to our indigenous peoples in 2008, but Canada also wrote a big cheque. We have the same immigration challenges of sovereignty and large numbers of unauthorized asylum seekers coming to our territories.’ [Note: this is the subject of Peter’s Faculty Research presentation on July 18.]

‘Our countries have similar issues around offensive speech and section 18(c), and judicial review of internal actions of religious organizations. I’m interested in the Australian employment doctrine of “trust and confidence”.’ On the other hand, Peter adds, ‘Canada has had a written Charter of Rights for 36 years and can share some experience on that issue. Likewise Canada was long ago out of the gate to authorize same-sex marriage. It has liberalized prostitution and medically-assisted suicide and is right now decriminalizing cannabis.’

Peter is a formidable critic of the Supreme Court of Canada, especially how it creates social policy without accountability and what he refers to as ‘how the Court changes its mind’. His current constitutional research project examines the decline of legal protection for religious belief and expression in Canada under the Court’s application of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This research will be presented at the Twilight Seminar on July 31. You can register for this Twilight seminar here.

Faculty News Baker McKenzie Eminent Visitor John C Havens

On May 29, the Centre for Professional Legal Education hosted a Public Seminar, delivered by the Baker McKenzie Eminent Visitor, John C. Havens.

John’s presentation was entitled ‘Identity in the Algorithmic Age’. The seminar was widely attended by students, staff and interested public.

Exploring issues of personal data beyond compliance and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the presentation demonstrated the critical need for tools like PIMS (Personal Identity Management Systems) to provide all individuals the ability to control their personal information in digital and virtual environments. Featuring examples from the worlds of Augmented and Virtual Reality, this talk explored how expressions of gender fluidity from Generation Z are providing early examples of how we will need to deeply analyse, understand and project our genuine selves in the algorithmic age.

You can view John’s recorded seminar here. You can view John’s TedX talk and his latest book here.

Congratulations

Emeritus Professor John Farrar is currently in the top 10% of Authors on SSRN by all-time downloads.

Professor Dan Svantesson is part of a team that has successfully been awarded a Czech research grant on 1 April 2018. The total awarded funding is CZK 197 531 266 (app. AUD 11.9 million). The project is titled ‘C4e - Cybersecurity, Cybercrime and Critical Information Infrastructures Centre of Excellence’ and will run for 56 months. He holds the role of head of the sub-program dealing with law of cyber-defense. This is a major project with involvement by entities such as the Czech Ministry of Defence, National Security Agency and Supreme Public Prosecutor’s office, and represents an exceptional opportunity for him to be involved in a large- scale research project in the cyber security field.

A brief description of the grant is as follows:

The project follows up on the present activity of the Czech Cyber Crime Centre of Excellence (C4e), which has been established based on the initiation grant DG HOME which focuses on research program concerning law, technical education and further training. During the existence of the centre and the initiated international cooperation, a need was identified to link two of the original members of the centre with other research teams to help them achieve complex results. It has been found out that there is a high degree of utility and a need to overlap with research oriented on protection of critical infrastructures and a strong need to utilize research in design, control and reliability of complex systems.

Page 17: ASPIRATIONS & INSPIRATIONS

In relation to the current C4e research, the project focuses on creating a new, broader and fully integrated research strategy, divided into 3 basic research programs linking and harmonizing the present activities of the research teams. The activities focus primarily on increasing the quality of research results at the international level, supporting the existing centre and its material and personal development. The project activities will help to deal with the current challenges related to secure information society both at the national and the international levels.
