Research Week 2017

The Centre for Professional Legal Education (CPLE) hosted a Symposium during Re-

search Week, entitled ‘Law Without Lawyers?’. The Symposium explored the likely

impact of technological innovation on the practice of law, and the implications—both

positive and negative—of the possibility that legal services will be delivered without

the direct involvement of lawyers.

The Keynote address, ‘The Disruptive Technologies Most Likely to Make Lawyers

Redundant’, was delivered by Matthew Burgess, Director of View Legal, and Associ-

ate Professor Kate Galloway. A Panel Discussion and Debate with invited Speakers

was held in the afternoon, and an Interactive Workshop capped off a successful day,

attended by industry, staff and students.

Twilight Seminar

Ken Yin, from Edith Cowan University, School of Law presented a well-attended Twi-

light Seminar entitled ‘Law as “reason free from passion”: the art of syllogistic analy-

sis’. Teaching foundation law students to solve legal problems is an exceptionally

challenging task. Somewhat surprisingly, Australian literature on the mechanics of

legal problem solving is virtually non-existent, leaving first-year law teachers to fend

for themselves in designing this element of their curricula. The seminar explained how

syllogistic analysis provides the underlying basis for critical analysis in the context of

legal problem solving, using everyday learning experience as a means of demonstrat-

ing relevant techniques. You can access the recording of Ken’s talk here.

In October, Professor Dan Svantesson chaired a Panel on ‘Contractual Issues in Online Social Media’ at a Colloquium at the Max Planck Institute in Luxembourg for Procedural Law, on ‘Jurisdiction, Conflict of Laws and Data Protection in Cyberspace’.

Assistant Professor Annette Greenhow attended the Australian and NZ Sports Law

Association (ANZSLA) Annual Conference in Sydney. The conference theme was ‘Are

you match ready? Key developments and emerging issues in sports law”. The confer-

ence was attended by over 200 delegates from law, sport, government, academia and

industry.

Bond University’s Chancellor, Dr Annabelle Bennet, delivered the keynote address

with Dr Ulrich Haas on the role of the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the Russian

Doping Scandal, setting the scene for an informative and engaging conference.

Assistant Professor Greenhow participated in a Panel discussion on Concussion in

Sport. Other panellists contributed medical perspectives, sports administrators per-

spectives, litigation perspectives, insurer perspectives and player perspectives.

In October, Professor Jon Crowe presented at the Politics in the Pub event hosted

by the Ngara Institute in Mullumbimby on the topic ‘Imagining Anarchy’. This is a regu-

lar series of informal public seminars discussing innovative responses to political is-

sues. The event was attended by around 100 people from the local community. There

was a lively discussion about alternative methods of community organisation and the

importance of local and democratic solutions to social problems. Click here to see a

recording of Professor Crowe’s talk .

Impact and Engagement

On the back of a highly successful Colloquium on Food GIs and FTAs in June this

year, Professor William van Caenegem was invited to meet with a group of Parlia-

mentarians from the European Parliament to discuss the issue of GIs in the forthcom-

ing FTA negotiations. Professor van Caenegem also used this opportunity to meet

and continue the discussion with another Colloquium attendee, IP Australia.

Associate Professor Michelle Markham’s recent article on international arbitration in

the ADRJ attracted the attention of the Director of the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute

at the Crawford School of the ANU, and she was asked to write a post for the Austax-

policy blog. Check out ‘Recurring Resistance to Tax Treaty Arbitration as a Dispute

Resolution Mechanism’ on the Austaxpolicy blog here.

The Opinion of the Advocate General in Case C-210/16 before the Court of Justice of

the European Union was released in October, and in footnote 43, the Advocate Gen-

eral refers to a book chapter written by Professor Dan Svantesson. This is a signifi-

cant indicator of research impact, given how rarely reference is made to academic

writings in this context.

Assistant Professor Tory Baumfield assisted a reporter from the Gympie Times to

understand the complexities around the water reforms taking place in the region. She

is quoted within the resulting article, see here.

An article co-authored by Associate Professor Danielle Ireland-Piper and former

Bond Senior Teaching Fellow Kim Weinert in 2014, entitled ‘Is there a “right” to

sport?’ was cited in the Victorian Parliament (FN 4). The link to Hansard is here.

Professor Rachael Field, and Assistant Professors Elizabeth Greene and Jodie

O’Leary made submissions to the QLRC review into Domestic Violence Disclosure

Schemes. The Final Report has been released, and they are cited numerous times in

that report. Bond was named directly in FNs 22, 68, 80, 131, 216 and in s6.47, s6.110,

s6.125, although there are many other instances where submission numbers are cit-

ed. The full report can be read here.

Book Review

Associate Professor Danielle Ireland-Piper’s book ‘Accountability in Extraterritorial-

ity: A Comparative and International Law Perspective (Edward Elgar, 2017) has again

been the subject of an international review, the first being in South Africa, and this

time in France. Jean-Sylvestre Berge of the University of Lyon described the book as

‘interesting in more than one way’ and noted, among other things, that it contained

‘useful historical summaries’ and delivered ‘theoretical principles which described the

basis of competence for extraterritorial action’. Translation provided by Ms Melodie

Giradin, a native French speaker and student at New York University.

Research areas of interest

I am generally interested in corporate law and corporate governance, and in particu-

lar in the governance of monopolistic government owned businesses such as our

public water and energy suppliers, public transport providers such as Queensland

Rail, and the NBN. I am extremely interested at the moment in the public law value

implications of providing basic services through government entities: should the fact

of government ownership imply that we have (or should have) different expectations

for these businesses than traditional for profit businesses? I am troubled by the ex-

pectation that has ruled the day in Australia since the early 1990s that state owned

infrastructure businesses should be run on a profit-maximising basis when they tend

to be run as monopolists with a captive audience of customers. (This is particularly

true for water supply.) This expectation was based on the premise that these indus-

tries would be opened up to competition, but in many instances that has not hap-

pened, and where competition has been introduced, that competition has been tep-

id, at best. I am also looking at the extent to which participatory governance struc-

tures might be an appropriate means of solving some of the problems with how state

-owned monopoly businesses are managed.

Current research projects

I am madly trying to finish writing the first draft of my PhD thesis, which explores my

concerns with government owned businesses that I described above. I am doing my

PhD at UQ. I have a couple of other papers in the pipeline based on conference

and workshop presentations that I did this year (discussed in more detail in response

to the next question), but I have decided to focus on completing my first draft of my

PhD before putting any more time into them. It has been too distracting over the

past year or two taking advantage of the other publication opportunities that have

presented themselves (see below), but now I feel like I should be making my PhD

my priority so I can get it off my plate!

Recent publications

I have two book chapters currently in publication: a chapter on water supply govern-

ance in the TICLP-sponsored book on “Order and Disorder” co-edited by Danielle

Ireland-Piper and Leon Wolff, which should be out soon, and a chapter critiquing the

explosion of hybrid business forms (which are new corporate forms that are intended

to be used by social enterprises with both profit and public interest objectives) in an

edited volume on corporate governance and sustainability to be published by Cam-

bridge in 2018. That volume was co-edited by Beate Sjafjell of the University of

Oslo and Irene Lynch-Fannon of University College, Cork, who both serve on the

steering committee (along with me) of the Daughters of Themis International Net-

work of Female Business Scholars.

I also presented a paper on interdisciplinary research methods in law at the Daugh-

ters of Themis workshop on interdisciplinary research in Kea, Greece earlier this

year. I will seek to publish that eventually, but am holding off on revising it until I

finish the first draft of my thesis. Similarly, I have about 10,000 words of fairly pol-

ished material that I cut from my Cambridge book chapter which could easily make

Page 10: ASPIRATIONS & INSPIRATIONS · ASPIRATIONS & INSPIRATIONS Law Research Newsletter September-October 2017. Conferences/Seminars ... On the back of a highly successful Colloquium on

Academic Spotlight cont’d

up a journal article, but I am going to hold off on finalising that material and submit-

ting it for publication until I get the PhD drafting done because I have found it too

easy to get distracted focusing on other publications while the PhD languishes. Pri-

orities!

What is your dream project/area of research to work on?

I am very lucky that I basically got to work on my dream project as a very junior liti-

gation associate when I was chosen to work on the French Banks Holocaust Litiga-

tion, defending Barclays Bank and JP Morgan in a series of related class actions

filed in the US federal courts in New York City, in early 1998. The claims alleged that

the banks had seized Jewish account holders’ funds in order to stay open during the

Nazi Occupation of France in World War II and never returned them. Nobody knew

what had actually happened as the lawsuit was filed so far after the events in ques-

tion, and the banks had no records. Unlike the other defendants, who focused main-

ly on trying to get the claims dismissed on statute of limitations and other grounds,

our clients sincerely wanted to know what had happened and were determined to

make good any valid claims. I was sent to France to scour the French National Ar-

chives, reviewing materials that were subject to French Privacy Legislation until the

early 2000s and hence had never been eyeballed by anyone in many cases; not

since the Allies had shipped the documents to the Archives after liberating Paris in

August 1944. I only got to see the documents because we got special permission

from the French government, which obviously took an interest in the litigation. The

Nazis had kept the most detailed records you could possibly imagine. The lead law-

yer on the case was the legendary American First Amendment lawyer, Floyd

Abrams, who I ended up working with very closely due to my unique position as the

only team member on the litigation who knew all the facts. Floyd told me not to come

home until I had figured out who our relevant account holders were, what assets

they had on deposit at our clients’ branches, and what happened to the funds. It took

me 7 months, but we figured it all out. I say “we” because my law firm hired several

recent university graduates to work under my direction at the Archives and we did

the painstaking work of piecing together highly fragmented evidence together, as a

team. I came up with an analytical process that the French Government ended up

directing every other bank that had responsibility for bank accounts that were open

in France during WWII to apply to their own accounts. I worked closely with the

French Government, which had by this point established three separate commis-

sions to investigate the fate of “spoliated” Jewish assets. We were able to establish

that our clients had very little liability and hence negotiated a favourable settlement

(which was a great outcome for our clients) while also helping to shed substantial

light on an area of history that had been shamefully neglected up until that point of

time. This research project required analysis of US law, current French law, Vichy

law, and Nazi regulations, as well as a sprinkling of history, political science, and

international relations. As someone whose undergrad degree was in International

Relations and French, this was totally my dream project. As part of this project, I

wrote a 500 page history and analysis of the relevant events, which is currently, un-

fortunately, locked in a bank vault in London and will likely never see the light of day.

I used to always joke that it was my fake PhD. I guess I am lucky that I was able to

get to work on my dream project in such a major capacity at such a young age! And I

got to learn from one of the most gifted lawyers in the world, Floyd Abrams. The all-

expenses paid stay in Paris didn’t hurt, either.

Best research advice you can share

Never assume anything. Anything that you assume without checking will inevitably

be wrong. Second, try to “touch” your research every day, even if only for a few

minutes. It really does keep your mind in it so that you don’t fall behind. Oh, and use

Endnote! It revolutionised my ability to keep track of my sources and greatly simpli-

fied my writing process. I could never go back to writing pre-Endnote. The three

days’ investment (it took me to really get comfortable with it and enter a boatload of

sources) (by the way, that is what research assistants are for!) has been paid back

in spades through the time it has saved me.

Favourite way to relax? A random fact you’d like to share? Moments of Epiphany

and why? Who inspires you?

I love to read, mainly novels, especially anything Game of Thrones-esque. Yes, I

preferred the book series to the TV show, although I enjoyed that, too. I enjoy cy-

cling, although I am not nearly as good as Richard is. I also enjoy cooking, when I

am in the mood, and have an extensive herb garden as well as citrus trees (lemons,

limes, and I just planted a mandarin tree). Having fresh ingredients makes cooking a

lot more fun! I also enjoy spending time my with family (Richard, Alexandra (almost

7), and James (5)), of course. Richard inspires me through his utter confidence in

himself, and in me. Women seem to be prone to self-doubt in a way that it seems

like many men are not. Especially being in a male-dominated area like corporate

law, the more time that I spend in this space, the more it becomes clear to me that

there is no reason whatsoever why women’s views and conclusions, where support-

ed by careful and accurate research, are any less valid than the men’s, even though

the men might talk louder. Women should not be afraid to put themselves out there!

Even if someone disagrees with you, who cares? The conversation that develops is

how knowledge is generated.
