Book Launch: Mainstreaming Porn – Sexual Integrity and the Law Online

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 22:00:00 GMT

Join Schulich Law Professor and 2024 Dorothy Killam Fellow Dr. Elaine Craig for the launch of her new book Mainstreaming Porn: Sexual Integrity and the Law Online.

Assistant Professor Suzie Dunn, acting director of the law school's Law and Technology Institute (LATI), will be featured as a discussant.

The book launch is part of LATI's new Tech Tok series, a six-part multi-disciplinary and inter-faculty speaker series that aims to provide meaningful opportunities to engage in discussion on current and emerging technology law and policy issues.

�°��ϲ� the Book:

The ubiquity of streaming sites such as Pornhub has transformed the social role of sexually explicit content today. Online porn is no longer a shady corner of the internet; it is mainstream. Its production, commodification, and consumption on data-driven online platforms has changed – and is changing – our personal relationships, social and legal systems, and sexual norms.

Without demonizing pornography or its consumption, Dr. Craig makes a powerful argument for applying legal mechanisms to corporate-owned online platforms while offering a sober evaluation of the limits of the law in governing pervasive cultural norms and social understandings of sexuality.

Colloquium on Cooperatives and the Good Director

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 11:30:00 GMT

How should directors of cooperatives understand their role? How should they exercise their powers? What interests, norms, and aims should they consider when making decisions—and which should they prioritize? In other words, what makes a good director of a cooperative?

Join Schulich Law Assistant Professor Liam McHugh-Russell for "Colloquium on Cooperatives and the Good Director." The event aims to create the foundations for constructive, longer-term conversations and framework for debate about how the questions above should be approached and understood.

A wide cross-section of participants have been invited to attend, including cooperative board members, consultants and regulators, social scientists and business scholars, legal scholars with expertise in corporate law, and lawyers who have acted for cooperatives.

Smith Shield Moot

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 22:30:00 GMT

The Smith Shield Moot is the premiere mooting event of the academic calendar with a tradition dating back to 1927 and selection for the Smith Shield team is a significant accolade

The moot is a not-for-credit exhibition that sees two teams of two student advocates argue a hypothetical appeal before a panel of lawyers and judges - and in front of the whole Weldon community.

Each team is required to prepare and submit a written factum to the judges, and the teams are supported by an alternate who is willing to step in if another team member is unable to participate. The judge’s panel usually includes judges from the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia.

This year, Professors Liam McHugh-Russell and Jodi Lazare selected from candidates nominated by judges from the cumpolsory second-year moot, and based their decisions on comments from those judges and a review of facta from the moot.

The Mooters:

David Gouws (alternate)
Alex Harrison
Machel Maxwell
Rachel McMillan
Anu Sidhu
