Upcoming Events
Seminar: Natural Law With and Without God
Join us as Professor Jonathan Crowe explores the different approaches to natural law with and without God; as well as the implications of God's existence, and non-existence for natural law.
Virtual Seminar: the Human Right to a Healthy Environment (Past)
Before attending this event, please purchase ALPSA membership for $2 via QPAY: https://alpsalawmembership.getqpay.com/
In 2019, Queensland joined Victoria and the ACT by enacting the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld), which includes a right to life.
In this seminar, Dr Justine Bell-James will explore whether the right to life can be used as a vehicle for environmental claims. Most importantly, the right to life may have implications for executive policy, legislative reform, and litigation regarding climate change.
The seminar will take place via Zoom. We will post a link to the Zoom meeting a week before the seminar. Dr Bell-James's presentation will be followed by a Q & A.
This seminar is a great chance for students with an interest in human rights and environmental law to explore a cutting-edge topic: one that may have widespread implications in the coming years.
Virtual Seminar: the US Impeachment Process (Past)
What is impeachment, where does it come from, and what equivalent processes (if any) do we have in Australia?
Professor Graeme Orr will be answering these questions, as well as exploring the rationale and risks of impeachment in ALPSA's first ever virtual seminar. To do so, Professor Orr will compare the US process with Australia's processes for removing judges from office and explore their common history. The seminar will be followed by a Q & A.
ALPSA will deliver this seminar via Zoom. The seminar will be live, rather than recorded and published online. Make sure to click "going" to give us an indication of how many students will be joining the seminar. We will publish a link to the Zoom conference a week before the seminar.
