The jury room - the verdict is yours - 3 pm to 4 pm
Description

Step into the courtroom and help decide the outcome of today’s most pressing legal debates. Five of Sydney Law School’s leading scholars will argue the case for and against on issues shaping our future.

You are the jury. Hear the evidence, weigh the arguments, and cast your vote to deliver the verdict.

Sample debates include:

  • Criminal Law: Would you trust an AI tool to help a jury decide your fate?
  • Environmental Law: Should destroying biodiversity be treated like committing a crime?
  • Defamation & Privacy Law: Do public figures deserve less privacy than the rest of us in a digital world?
  • International Law: Should the UN recognise “climate refugees” as a new protected category?
