Reflections on the Legacy of Sir Gerard Brennan to Australian Public Law
Sir Gerard Brennan AC KBE made an enormous contribution to Australian public law. As the first President of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, he was a pioneer in Australian administrative law. As Justice and later Chief Justice of the High Court, his decisions shaped many areas of law so as to uphold the most important values underling the Australian legal system: justice, the dignity of the individual, and equality before the law.For this seminar and to mark the launch of the book, Professor Tierney will be joined by five leading scholars of federalism from across the world to explore the important ideas developed in this new work. All are welcome to join this discussion, with Professor Eva Maria Belser, Professor Peter Niesen, Professor Nicholas Aroney, Dr Asanga Welikala and Professor Cheryl Saunders to reflect on federalism, constitutionalism and the state in the 21st century.

Post-Soviet as post-colonial
What is the relationship between post-colonial theory and constitutionalism? What role does the construction of history play in this interaction? This seminar discussed these questions in the context of William Partlett and Herbert Küpper’s new book, The Post-Soviet as Post-Colonial: A New Paradigm for Understanding Constitutional Dynamics in the Former Soviet Empire. It addressed three main questions.In this seminar, our panellists critically reflected upon the development of the constitutional freedom over the last 30 years and shared their thoughts in relation to its future. The panel consisted of barrister Kathleen Foley S.C., Professor Dan Meagher (Faculty of Business and Law, Deakin University) and Professor Adrienne Stone (Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne).
