Delivery of Advice to Marginalised and Vulnerable Groups: The Need for Innovative Approaches

Alexy Buck ; Liz Curran

Knowledge, capacity, capability and understanding are the key pre-requisites to access to justice.4 If legal aid services are to be effective in reaching people who are disadvantaged, disempowered or marginalised, then integrated, connected service delivery, outreach and relationship building, community development and education play a vital role. This article presents selected research findings from England and Wales, and Australia, illustrating the advice needs of disadvantaged ...

Art of Judgement

Nicole Rogers ; Greta Bird

Law

We performed this paper at the Judicial Reasoning: Art or Science? conference held at the Australian National University in February 2009. We were performing on at least two levels: as academics and editors of a collection of judicially-authored essays on the art of judging but also, as we proclaimed at the outset, as Jester and Fool. We did not appear in costume as jesters or fools. We did not even appear as fairies, although one of us is well-known at Southern Cross University ...

Aesthetics, Authority and the Outlaw of the Street

Susan Bird

This is a paper about the meanings of aesthetics, authority, street art, and graffiti. It is about the potential that graffiti has to disrupt the codes that emanate from the post-industrial, capitalist city, and the ways in which law making authorities have attempted to curb that potential. The regulation of public space involves control over the visual appearance of that space. The Graffiti Prevention Act (Vic) 2007 is one instrument employed in regulating the aesthetics of space. ...

Evidence of Auction House Influence Over Buyer Behaviour and Price Formation in the Australian Art Auction Market

Meaghan Wilson-Anastasios; University of Melbourne

Art History; Cultural Economics; Cultural Studies; Art Market Studies

During the last six months, there has been much discussion in the general and arts media about the manifestation of problematic practices within the Australian art auction market. Although the nature of these practices has been scrutinised, scant attention has been paid to how the methods and mechanisms employed by auction houses to build business during the art market boom that commenced in the late 1990s might represent a force that could undermine the sustainability of the ...

Art, Actually! The Courts and the Imposition of Taste

Marett Leiboff; Faculty of Law, University of Wollongong

Cultural legal studies, art and law

Despite their attempt to avoid questions of taste, this article argues that the courts actively engage in a form of connoissuership. For the most part, this involves the courts rendering images into component elements which alters the image or object, in order to acheive a particular legal outcome. By drawing on the history of the 18th century connoisseur, the article suggests that the courts display many of the features of the connoissuer, even when they disavow any involvement ...

Desert Island Disks: Ten Reveries on Inter-Disciplinary Pedagogy in Law

Desmond Manderson

In this essay Professor Manderson defends the use of inter-disciplinary methodologies in teaching law. Focusing in particular on images and texts of no more than a page's length, the essay insists that a whole curriculum could be devised around these pictures, sounds, and stories. Yet legal teaching, reflecting the character of legal texts in general, has been relentlessly long-winded and linear. They direct us to one conclusion to the exclusion of all others; they close options ...
