Associate Professor Ghena Krayem provides deep insights into her latest book, Understanding Sharia Processes – Women’s Experience of Family Disputes, explaining the difference between a religious and a civil law divorce and why an Islamic woman might want both, the different types of religious divorce, and the process for obtaining a religious divorce, considering recent improvements to make the process more female-friendly and suggesting further reforms. Fascinating.

In this episode of the Books, Books, Books Law School Series, Professor Svetiev provides an up-to-date account of the evolution of competition law enforcement in the European Union, arguing that recent developments may be explained by a model of experimentalist governance based on learning from difference and learning from experience. He considers the extent to which an experimentalist governance model is either feasible or desirable, with detailed reference to recent cases and developments.

In this week’s episode of the law school series, Nicole speaks with Dr Stacie Strong, Associate Professor, about her recent book, Legal Reasoning Across Commercial Disputes – Comparing Judicial and Arbitral Analyses¸ in which she considers the following three issues:

• Is legal reasoning in the judicial setting different from legal reasoning in the setting of commercial arbitration?
• Is legal reasoning in the context of international commercial arbitration different from that used in domestic commercial arbitration?
• Does legal reasoning in the commercial context differ between countries with a common law system and those with a civil law system?

Dr Strong conducted an extensive survey of judges and arbitrators, as well as interviews and an analysis of judicial decisions and arbitral awards, and arrived at some interesting and at times surprising results.

Feminist, activist and writer Wendy McCarthy reveals in her new memoir, “Don’t Be Too Polite, Girls” how to be a strong feminist, a good mother and a good wife  - all at the same time. Here she discusses how choosing the right life partner, her beloved Gordon McCarthy, enabled her to live a stimulating, purposeful life, with a brilliant career spanning the public, private, corporate and not-for-profit sectors. Her advice to women offered key roles? “Say yes and work it out later,” – just as a man would do. Gold.

“I am first and foremost a First Nations woman. I am that before I am a lawyer”.

In this wide-ranging conversation with Teela Reid, Sydney Law School’s first First Nations Lawyer in Residence, she discusses her remarkable career as lawyer, activist and storyteller – the life-changing decision to move from teaching to law,  her determination to make life better for the next generation of First Nations kids, her involvement in the Regional  Dialogues which led to the Uluru Statement From the Heart and her tireless advocacy for the First Nations Voice to Parliament, which she sees as the beginning of a crucial reckoning between Black and white Australia. She also talks about the need for non-Indigenous Australians to show up and to do the work.

A fascinating insight into one of the thought leaders of her generation, who is determined to use her role at the Law School to “make sure we continue to create space for other First Nations students and lawyers”.
