The University of Victoria Faculty of Law invites applications for the position of Director, Access to Justice Centre for Excellence.

The UVic Access to Justice Centre for Excellence (ACE) was established by the Faculty of Law late in 2015 in response to the growing concern within the justice community about the problem of diminishing access to justice, and in the belief that there is a unique and important role that the academy can and should play in the resolution of this problem.

The deadline for applications is May 10, 2019. For more information: https://www.uvic.ca/law/home/news/current/job-posting---director-for-access-to-justice-centre-for-excellence.php

Southern Cross University, on the beautiful Gold Coast of Queensland, is planning to host two apocalyptic law and society conferences in a row in their summer of 2019: 

1) The annual conference of the Law, Literature and Humanities Association of Australasia (LLHAA), from 2-4 December 2019, with the theme "JurisApocalypse Now! Law in End Times" and

2) The annual conference of the Law and Society Association of Australia and New Zealand (LSAANZ), from 5-7 December 2019, with the theme "Survive. Thrive. Die. Law in End Times." 
​
Some information about the conferences is available here. The call for papers has not yet been issued. 

The 2020 conference will follow the pattern of previous Modern Studies in Property Law conferences with a mix of plenary, discussion and panel sessions, and will also incorporate the social and human side of property law through the consideration of emerging technologies and the involvement of spokespersons and presentations from social housing schemes, shared equity schemes, organisations engaging with homelessness and the housing of vulnerable people as well as engage with the (sometimes competing) commercial interests associated with property. 

The overarching theme of conference is secure within these walls, and we hope that contributors will interpret this as broadly as possible to include aspects from public and private law. The conference will also include a dedicated PGR strand and we would like to encourage PGR to present their work in diverse ways using the latest technologies.

1er Rendez-vous international de la recherche sur les réformes du droit et de la justice

Le Rendez-vous international de la recherche sur les réformes du droit et de la justice rassemble des chercheurs qui ont étudié ces processus de transformation des mondes juridique et judiciaire, ainsi que les praticiens qui les ont influencées.

Ce colloque scientifique vise à examiner les approches disciplinaires mobilisées pour comprendre ces réformes et analyser les conditions contextuelles dans lesquelles celles-ci ont été réalisées. De quelles manières étudier de telles réformes ? Comment le droit et la justice se réforment-ils dans les faits ? Quelles sont les visions sous-jacentes au changement projeté ? Les expériences tentées dans certaines juridictions tracent-elle la voie à suivre ? Quels sont les éléments qui favorisent, ralentissent ou empêchent les réformes envisagées en matière de droit et de justice?

Le Rendez-vous international, qui aura lieu à tous les deux ans et dont la langue de communication est le français, est une initiative du consortium de recherche Accès au Droit et à la Justice (ADAJ : adaj.ca) regroupant neuf universités canadiennes, en association avec l’Institut Québécois de Réforme du Droit et de la Justice (IQRDJ : adaj.ca/iqrdj).

Date limite pour soumettre une proposition de communication : 1er mai 2019
