  • When Interpretation Acts Require Interpretation

    James Duffy, John O’brienARTICLEUniversity of New South Wales Law…2017

    When interpreting words or construing provisions in an Act of Parliament, the context in which the words appear and the purpose of the Act can be used to ascertain meaning. The catchcry of text, context and purpose has become a repeated moniker for the High Court of Australia’s μmodern approach’ to statutory interpretation. In this context, the thought of removing either text, context or purpose as a primary factor to be considered when divining …

  • The ‘I Belong in the LLB’ Program

    Open AccessJames Duffy, Rachael Field et al.ARTICLEAlternative Law Journal2016References: 6

    The empirical research on law student psychological well-being in Australia continues to grow in volume and sophistication.1 Law schools across the country remain indebted to the Jepson family, who engaged the Brain and Mind Research Institute (‘BMRI’) at the University of Sydney to conduct the first Australian empirical research into lawyer and law student mental health.2 In 2016, the wider Australian legal community can reflect on the resultant…

  • Evening use of light-emitting eReaders negatively affects sleep, circadian timing, and next-morning alertness

    Open AccessAnne-Marie Chang, Anne‐Marie Chang et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2015

    Significance The use of light-emitting electronic devices for reading, communication, and entertainment has greatly increased recently. We found that the use of these devices before bedtime prolongs the time it takes to fall asleep, delays the circadian clock, suppresses levels of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin, reduces the amount and delays the timing of REM sleep, and reduces alertness the following morning. Use of light-emitting devices…

  • Engaging Sex

    Open AccessJames Duffy, Des Butler et al.ARTICLEAlternative Law Journal2015

    Given the ever increasing importance of legislation to the resolution of legal disputes, there is a concomitant need for law students to be well trained in the anatomy, identification, interpretation and application of laws made by or under parliament. This article discusses a blended learning project called Indigo’s Folly, implemented at the Queensland University of Technology Law School in 2014. Indigo’s Folly was created to increase law studen…

  • Engaging Law Students to Promote Psychological Health

    Open AccessJames Duffy, Rachael Field et al.ARTICLEAlternative Law Journal2011References: 1

    Recent empirical evidence suggests that concern for the psychological health of law students is well justified. Traditionally, the legal curriculum has focused on the provision of substantive legal doctrinal knowledge. This approach has not always engaged students positively with their learning of law. This article considers some strategies that can be adopted by Law Faculties to better engage students with their legal education in order to promo…

  • Fingers or One, it's How You Play

    Open AccessJames DuffyARTICLEAlternative Law Journal2010

    For quite some time, debate has raged about what the human race can and should do with its knowledge of genetics. We are now nearly 60 years removed from the work of Watson and Crick who determined the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), yet our opinions as how best to employ scientific knowledge of the human genome, remain as diverse and polarised as ever. Human judgment is often shaped and coloured by popular media and culture, so it shou…
