| 2019 | 2019 Sir John Graham Lecture by Professor Gobodo-Madikizela | Professor Gobodo-Madikizela | |
| Synopsis: | Every society must negotiate how it will repair acts of wrongdoing- whether in the individual experience of crimes committed against particular victims, or through the ongoing social consequences of cultural, racial, or religious conflict.
Since serving on South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Professor Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela has dedicated her life to understanding how we can bridge the differences that have been at the root of historic divisions through reconciliation and reparation, "creating spaces for dialogue, facing and mourning the past."
Professor Gobodo-Madikizela's 2019 lecture reflected on the successes and failures of the practice of reconciliation as a response to historic injustices; and considered questions about its capacity to interrupt intergenerational cycles of suffering and to bring wholeness and lasting peace.
There are two videos, one of her lecture and one of the Q & A Session. |

The presentations covered a wide range of topics including: de-regulation of the workplace and competitive attitudes towards employment issues; aspects and implications of the recent amendments to health and safety laws; workplace stress, bullying and harassment; restructuring, redundancy and redeployment; modern workplace environments and cyber-work; and equality, human rights and precarious work.
A large number of excellent papers were presented at the conference and submitted for publication to a special issue of the New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations. As a result, two special issues will be published. This first special issue focusses specifically on the impact of technology on labour law and the relationship between human rights and employment law. The next special issue will include papers broadly concerned with health and safety and matters related to employment agreement.

| Synopsis: | This video provides an overview of issues and possible solutions for improving Maori engagement in the extractive industry. It presents the views and concerns of iwi and hapu who have experience with the extractive industry. Through interviews with experts, of international law and indigenous rights and domestic law, the video provides a legal perspective and insight into similar issues in other jurisdictions.

| Synopsis: | Here is the collection of presentations given on 15 February 2016 at the symposium entitled "Interpreting the Treaty over 175 years", hosted by the New Zealand Centre for Public Law at Victoria University of Wellington. This symposium took a scholarly look at the various legal, historical, political, philosophical and policy dimensions of "interpreting the Treaty" through time. As 2015 was the 175th anniversary of the Treaty texts, it was timely to reflect on how these texts and the relations they evidence have been interpreted across time from 1840, with an acute eye to how those interpretations may have changed or adapted and in what circumstances. Academics and researchers from New Zealand, Australia, and Canada with an interest in the Treaty of Waitangi or indigenous peoples' issues more broadly were invited to participate in the symposium which was supported by the New Zealand Law Foundation and the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. | |

| Synopsis: | The University of Otago's Faculty of Law presents this public lecture by Professor Graham Virgo, 2016 NZ Law Foundation Distinguished Visiting Fellow, 2016 FW Guest Memorial Lecturer. In 1516 Sir Thomas More published 'Utopia', which identifies an attractive vision of law and society. As Lord Chancellor, More helped to develop Equity as a mechanism to secure justice which was not provided through the rigid interpretation of the Common Law. From the start, the equitable jurisdiction was founded on conscience. By tracing the historical development of conscience it is possible to identify the theoretical structure which justifies and explains the equitable jurisdiction and shows how it should develop in the future. |

| 2015 | Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform - a New Zealand perspective on the international law framework | Rive, Vernon | |
| Synopsis: | This paper, delivered at the July 2015 ANZSIL Conference, introduces material from Vernon Rive's Law Foundation funded research on fossil fuel subsidies: The paper links fossil fuel subsidies with adverse global environmental issues, particularly climate change. It highlights the International Energy Agency view that the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies would result in a reduction in global energy demand equivalent to the entire energy consumption of New Zealand, Japan and Korea combined. The paper comments on the fragmented international law system and its effectiveness (or lack of it) to respond to the widespread support by governments for fossil fuel exploration, production and consumption. Two kinds of subsidies are identified: consumption subsidies and production subsidies. Reference is made to what is already being done, in particular via the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate, and via the Friends of Fossil Subsidy Reform and points to the new global instrument due to be confirmed at COP21 in Paris in December 2015. The paper highlights the willingness of nations to advocate at an international level for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, while on the other hand continuing to divert billions of dollars annually for the production and consumption of fossil fuels. New Zealand is viewed as having the right credentials to be a world leader in the removal of fossil fuel subsidies; due to expertise and respect in international trade and climate diplomacy, and due to its experience in removing its own agricultural subsidies in the 80s and 90s, and its involvement in international fisheries subsidy reform via WTO. | |

Sawyer, Adrian., Vial, Peter., White, David I., Griffiths, Shelley., Spoonley, Jacob., Elliffe, Craig., Sharma, Shaleshni., Davey, Howard., Quintal, Aaron., Snell, David., Chan, Nicholas. (Authors) | |
| Synopsis: | The majority of articles and comments in this special issue of the New Zealand Journal of Taxation Law and Policy were written for a tax conference "Key Issues in the Design of Capital Gains Taxes" held 18 July 2014, hosted by the University of Auckland Law School. The NZ Law Foundation provided funding for the attendance of keynote speaker Professor David Duff from the University of British Columbia. The conference focused on the issue of how a 21st century capital gains tax (CGT) would look, not on whether New Zealand should have one or not. The idea was to help inform debate. The articles have a New Zealand centric focus or have been adapted to have relevance to New Zealand. Broader international ramifications are discussed relating to a wide variety of jurisdictions by the academics who presented at the conference or who were commissioned to discuss their jurisdiction. |

| 2014 | When Freedoms Collide - 2014 Sir John Graham Lecture | Alvare, Helen | |
| Synopsis: | Should a pacifist be forced to go to war? Should a parent be forced to give their child medical treatment that runs contrary to their beliefs? When freedoms collide, what are our options? A society that values freedom of thought will inevitably find itself at the intersection of competing views of freedom. What we do then will show us what we really value. At the 2014 Sir John Graham Lecture, Professor Helen Alvare sparked a discussion on how we maintain a society that is both safe and open to all. Over the course of the evening, she shared from her decades of experience as a lawyer, academic, legal consultant and media spokesperson in the area of freedom of conscience. Helen Alvare is a Professor of Law at George Mason University School of Law in Virginia, USA. | |

| 2014 | From Hypatia to Victor Hugo to Larry & Sergey: All the world's knowledge and Universal Authors' Rights | Ginsburg, Jane C. | |
| Synopsis: | This lecture is given by the New Zealand Law Foundation's 2014 Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Professor Jane C. Ginsburg, who is internationally recognised for her expertise in copyright law. In this talk, Professor Ginsburg evokes two utopian goals: universal access to knowledge, and universal authors' rights. The former implying a curator-custodian, a public institution that gathers, systematizes and makes available the world's knowledge. The latter enforcing private prerogative through the international recognition of authors' property rights that arise from their creativity or are justified by the public benefits those creations bestow. Creators and custodians of knowledge have long pursued complementary aims, despite occasional skirmishes between copyright owners and libraries. That now may be changing. Jane addresses the clash of utopias epitomized by the Google book-scanning program and the legal responses it has inspired, including the recent decision by the SDNY upholding Google's fair use defence. Finally, as we query whether, through mass digitization, libraries will replace publishers, or vice-versa, we should not lose sight of the authors, who are both copyright's raison d'etre and the necessary forebears of libraries, for without works of authorship to stock the collection, there is nothing to curate. Professor Ginsburg is the Morton L. Janklow Professor of Literary and Artistic Property Law at Columbia University School of Law, and Faculty Director of its Kernochan Center for Law, Media and the Arts. | |
