2024 Caldwell lecture: ‘Mā te ture anō te ture e āki (The Law must look itself in the mirror) - Justice Joe Williams (NZSC) - Trinity College Melbourne - Youtube
In this lecture, Justice Williams will discuss how law, including our conception of law and its purpose, is changing in ways that are providing a firmer foothold for First Nations in the life of post-colonial States. He will situate these developments within the wider context of the contemporary search for a durable post-colonial identity. Justice Williams will consider the parallel journeys of New Zealand and Australia as case studies.
Hear from criminal lawyer Ben Watson about his journey and what it takes to thrive in criminal law.
