Australia\u2019s detention of asylum seekers in Nauru and Papua New Guinea is modelled on the long standing US Migrant Interdiction Program which includes the detention of refugees by the US in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.<\/p>\n
This new book by Dr Azadeh Dastyari<\/a><\/strong> examines the US\u2019 compliance with its legal obligations as it interdicts asylum seekers at sea, detains refugees in its immigration detention centre in Guant\u00e1namo Bay and resettles refugees in third countries. It asks what lessons can be learned from the world\u2019s longest running offshore processing and detention regime.<\/p>\n To be launched by Senator Sam Dastyari<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> Tuesday 17 May 2016<\/p>\n Time: <\/strong>6.00pm \u2013 7.30pm<\/p>\n Venue: <\/strong>Monash Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale St, Melbourne<\/p>\n RSVP:<\/strong> Tuesday 10 May 2016, online here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Please find more information here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Registrations are now open for the Monash Entrepreneurship and Commercialisation lecture series.<\/p>\n Interested undergraduate and postgraduate students and staff are all welcome to attend the lectures.<\/p>\n Further information on topics, speakers and registration can be found\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Is your career freaking you out?<\/p>\n generationYOU<\/strong><\/a> is a one day event that aims to help you stand out of the crowd and become the exception to the rule, not the stereotype.<\/p>\n Meet community and industry speakers who run hands-on and honest sessions around employer expectations and skills such as problem solving, networking, building a personal brand, communication and more.<\/p>\n Featuring speakers from companies such\u00a0Etsy<\/strong>,\u00a0Australia Post<\/strong>,\u00a0Ashurst<\/strong>,\u00a0Arup<\/strong>,\u00a0Melbourne University<\/strong>,\u00a0The Foundation for Young Australians<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> Friday 22 April 2016<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 8.30am – 4.30pm<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre<\/p>\n Price:<\/strong> Concession $75; Full $99<\/p>\n More info\u00a0here<\/a> <\/strong>and\u00a0generationyou.com.au<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Uganda’s February elections saw\u00a0President Yoweri Museveni win his fifth term as president, extending an uninterrupted 30-year stint in office.<\/p>\n Worsening restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly in the lead up to the elections\u00a0cast serious doubt over whether they were conducted in a free and fair manner.<\/p>\n Join Ugandan human rights lawyer\u00a0Nicholas Opiyo<\/a><\/strong> and Human Rights Watch Senior Africa Researcher\u00a0Maria Burnett<\/a><\/strong> as they examine\u00a0Uganda’s failure to make progress on human rights issues, and what can be done to ensure its citizens can freely exercise fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n Date: <\/strong>19 April 2016<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 6.00pm to 7.15pm<\/p>\n Venue:<\/strong> Monash University Law Chambers, Seminar Room 3, Level 2, 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne<\/p>\n RSVP:<\/strong> castan.centre@monash.edu<\/a> or telephone 03 9905 3327<\/p>\n For full details please click\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Published by the Journal of Professional Legal Education in 1991, Sue Campbell’s Blueprint for a Clinical Program<\/em> highlighted the benefits of\u00a0clinical legal education to both students and staff alike.<\/p>\n At the time of publication there were only two full-scale clinical legal education programs\u00a0operating in Australian Law Faculties \u2013 one at Monash, established in 1975 and the context of Sue’s discussion, and one established in 1981 at the University of New South Wales.<\/p>\n Since that time, however, over 70% of Australia’s thirty-six law schools have developed clinical programs, with Sue’s article \u2013 and the strategies\u00a0it offered other faculties \u2013 truly serving as a blueprint for this expansion. Not only has clinical legal education expanded greatly in Australia, it has now spread throughout the world.<\/p>\n The Susan Campbell Oration\u00a0will review the state of clinical legal education in Australia and elsewhere; evaluate the impact of the strategies that Sue set forth; discuss where\u00a0clinical legal education is today; and suggest a blueprint for a robust and innovative future.<\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> Wednesday 11 May 2016<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 5:30-7:30pm<\/p>\n Venue: <\/strong>Monash Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale St, Melbourne<\/p>\n RSVP: <\/strong>Wednesday 4 May 2016, register <\/strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Light refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n2.
