Offices of the Southern Jurist-Diplomat
This project engages with the problem of how jurists, and international lawyers in particular, might conduct themselves (ourselves), ethically in our times, sometimes thought of as a moment of ‘global crisis’. To do this we take up the ‘conduct of life’ tradition emerging out of sustained engagements between Indigenous jurists, feminist historians and common law jurists in Melbourne, and puts them into relation with scholarship on connected histories and new diplomatic histories.
