“…the Federal Court will consider the practices of other courts, and consult with litigants conducting their own proceedings and with the legal profession before it finalises any position… In the meantime, the Court expects that if legal practitioners and litigants conducting their own proceedings make use of Generative Artificial Intelligence, they do so in a responsible way consistent with their existing obligations to the Court and to other parties. Further, it is also expected that parties and practitioners disclose such use if required to do so by a Judge or Registrar of the Court.”

Policing Popular Sovereignty - Henry Palmerlee | The University of Queensland Law Journal
Should Australia’s Governor-General refuse royal assent to an anti-democratic or intolerant constitutional amendment that has been approved at referendum? The limits on the Australian people’s power to amend their own constitution have, to date, been the subject of limited scholarship. Through application of Yaniv Roznai’s theory of constitutional unamendability, it is argued that political constitutionalism is a core tenet of the Australian constitutional order, a tenet which would likely call for a refusal of assent to an anti-democratic amendment. By contrast, Australia’s relatively weak tradition of legal constitutionalism would not stand in the way of an intolerant alteration to the Australian Constitution. Understanding the legitimate boundaries of the Governor-General’s authority is an ongoing project in Australian constitutional theory. However, these issues can provide fresh insight on long-running academic debates about the role of Commonwealth vice-regal representatives and the source of the Australian Constitution’s authority.
Two recent court decisions could help shape the debate, and perhaps the law, on when children can be given puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone therapy.
Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back LegalVision General Manager and Head of Legal Emmanuel Giuffre to discuss how in-house legal teams are managing AI adoption, what they’re hearing from clients across the country about common AI challenges and the layers inherent with AI implementation.
Giuffre also covers the benefits legal departments are experiencing from AI, the shift in sentiment among in-house teams, and the key legal, ethical, and professional considerations involved. He touches on teams’ awareness of their obligations, the challenges of ongoing education about emerging tools, leadership dynamics, and the significant changes likely to reshape legal departments in the near future.
