1. Honours Information Session<\/span><\/h4>\n

Many of the Faculty\u2019s top students in their penultimate or last year of law elect to enrol in the Honours Research Unit (Honours Thesis LAW5207).<\/p>\n

The Honours Research Unit is a 12 credit point unit intended for students with an interest and aptitude to produce a significant piece of original work in an area of the law that fascinates them. The Unit involves students writing an 8-10,000 word thesis under the supervision of an academic member of staff, on a topic chosen by the student, and approved by the Honours Convenor.<\/p>\n

Students also attend 3 symposiums throughout the year, designed to support them through the research process. At the end of the year students present their thesis findings to their peers and invited guests at a 2 day Honours Conference.<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the Honours Research Unit, students must have an average of 72% or better across their law units, and have no more than 72 credit points remaining to complete the requirements of their law degree.<\/p>\n

Date: Tues 8th Oct
\nTime: 1pm
\nLocation: L2, Bld 12<\/p>\n

Further information on the Honours programme can also be found on the Honours website, at http:\/\/www.law.monash.edu.au\/current-students\/enrolmen<\/p>\n

2. Surrogacy and Adoption: Pitfalls and Promises<\/span><\/h4>\n

Speakers
\nChief Judge John Pascoe<\/p>\n

Will discuss the rapid advance of international commercial surrogacy (ICS). ICS raises complex legal, ethical and moral questions. Apart from the question of parentage, one of the greatest problems with ICS is how to protect the rights of vulnerable surrogate mothers?<\/p>\n

Professor Nahum Mushin
\nWill discuss the national apology for people affected by forced adoptions and the implementation of the concrete measures flowing from it. The question of the future of adoption will be considered.<\/p>\n

Professor Denise Cuthbert
\nWill look at tensions in the understandings of intercountry adoption as a service for adults seeking children for family formation as distinct from a service for children in need of family-based care and asks how we as a community can reconcile these tensions.<\/p>\n
