Dr Alecia Simmonds has always been interested in the ways we govern intimate life. Here, she reflects on notable cases in Australia's past that explored gender dynamics, emotion, love and relationships, and what is says about our legal frameworks. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with UTS Faculty of Law associate professor Dr Alecia Simmonds about her academic work and interests, and the extent to which the legal battles that women have fought over the years have evolved. Simmonds also discusses her recently released book – Courting: An Intimate History of Love and the Law – and how she came to pen it, the cases she covered that were of greatest personal and legal interest, how expectations and standards around the legalities of courtship have changed, the takeaways from those instances, whether Australian society has learnt the requisite lessons from such sociocultural proceedings, and how optimistic she is that we, as a nation, can ensure our legal frameworks can sufficiently govern love and relationships.

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #228 Broadcast date: 9 April 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guest: Dr Stephen Morse, ESG Strategist & Founder Unchained & Serena Stewart Head of Strategic Partnerships, Business/Law School at UTS If you asked a small business owner if they had processes which showed consideration, fairness and equality when hiring new staff, that they were making considerable effort to reduce their impact on the environment and be more sustainable, and had all their paperwork up to date with ASIC; the vast majority would say yes, they were working on all of that or had it nailed. But if you said to the same small business person: Are you meeting your ESG reporting requirements they would probably look at you quick blankly and ask what that stands for. Yet another reporting requirement, is what it stands for. Something small businesses are not ready for, is what it stands for. But what it IS, is the reality coming down the pipeline. Yet many small businesses owners are unaware of the impact of ESG reporting requirements, what and when they need to take action and how it will change their business significantly if they're not ready. Luckily, we've got Dr Stephen Morse on the Small Biz Matters again. You'll remember him from a few years ago when he came onto our radio show to talk about another set of requirements : Anti-Slavery reporting requirements. He's joining us once again to support small businesses to understand what they need to do and where to get help. Plus, Serena Stewart from UTS will be jumping in to tell us all about the ESG survey they are developing and they're asking for your help to make policy better! PEOPLE –  Tell us about your journey and how you became so passionate about helping small businesses to navigate regulation like ESG and anti-slavery requirements. What sort of small business people are the most vulnerable if they don't start planning out how ESG will affect their business? Are you concerned that small businesses will be left with another overly-onerous reporting regime they don't understand? What is working elsewhere in the world? POLICY - Is the solution for ESG additional regulation really just reg-tech or do you think the Government needs to consider small businesses at the co-design phase? Which is more efficient: Should we be designing ESG reporting methods around different segments of small businesses or allow big business to dictate what they need to see from their supply chain PURPOSE -  What exactly is ESG and why do small business people need to be aware of it and starting to plan NOW for the changes coming? Where is a good place to start? Will it be mandatory? How can we make it as easy as possible for small businesses to report and what do you think the Government needs to do now in its policy settings to support the transition? Dr Stephen Morse is CEO of Unchained Solutions Pty Ltd, a Sydney-based facilitation and advisory firm that enables organisations to make a meaningful contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and improve their ESG reporting and CSR commitments. Unchained's solutions are designed to help local and global teams to thrive.

In this session, we spoke with Beth Patterson, the Founder and Director of legal industry-focused tech consultancy, ESPconnect and an Adjunct Professor (Industry) at UTS Faculty of Law. Beth's career has the distinctive hallmark of being groundbreaking. The depth and breadth of her experience in tech and legaltech, in tech companies and law firms, as a consultant and educator, means she has a highly practical, global and unique perspective on where AI in the legal industry is going today. Our discussion began with context - placing generative AI in the broader AI continuum - and moved into its impact on the legal industry. We are all still experimenting (testing and investing) in every industry, legal included, and we should be because there are still major issues with the tech that need to be worked out. However, what was also clear from our chat is the need for us to engage with the tech NOW because it's not going away, not ever! Senior management in law firms know this (as do our clients) and they're driving the engagement with it, something that makes this tech journey different from others. What AI will we end up with at the end of this journey? Beth opines it will be a portfolio - a combination of enterprise-wide tech and point solutions, with commercial models driving the selection of what you use, for what and when. But, integration will also remain key; data governance critical; and capabilities to identify pain points, choose and use/apply fit-for-purpose tech increasingly part of every solution and BAU. The opportunities with AI in legal are plentiful for those who jump in – new roles, new responsibilities, new practice areas (or expanded), new revenue streams, increasingly refined LLMs that do more and do it better – it's a brave old and new world which we will embrace with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) or JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) – you'll definitely want to listen to or watch this session to see where you fall on the continuum!

Franco Impellizzeri is Rob's guest on this week's Pacey Performance Podcast. He's been Professor in Sport and Exercise Science and Medicine at the UTS Faculty of Health since 2018, with around 170 publications in the area of sport science. However, Franco is much more than just an academic – he has hands-on experience in training several elite track and field athletes in various disciplines (including two gold medallists at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games). More recently, Franco has been the fitness coach of the Swiss Fencing Team (2012 to 2016) for the preparation of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Franco is here to mainly discuss the Nordic hamstring exercise, including the controversy around his recent meta-analysis. With information that could be invaluable to other trainers and coaches, Franco uncovered several errors in another recent meta-analysis in this area, and shares what his re-analysis means for practitioners. This includes statistical errors and the high risk of biases in such research. There's also a discussion into where trainers and coaches can find higher quality research, and what Franco will be up to next. In addition, Franco also tells us about his thoughts on the acute chronic workload ratio, and how it should be used in practice whilst being mindful of the problems what can be encountered using it. Finally, he talks about the issues with using the worst-case scenario as a training benchmark and that can be counteracted. For all this insight, hit the play button now. This week's topics: The errors in a recent meta-analysis on the Nordic hamstring exercise Statistical errors and the high risk of bias in Nordic research Why Franco re-analysed Nordic hamstring for his recent meta-analysis What Franco's re-analysis means for practitioners Why the statistic that Nordics reduces injury by a given percentage is unrealistic How the chronic workload ratio is used in practice Problems encountered when using ratios The issues with using the worst-case scenario as a training benchmark

Technology is disrupting nearly every industry, and law is no exception. As AI, blockchain technology and smart contracts become everyday parlance in the industry, students in law school will have to adequately adapt to become competitive once they graduate.   At the University of Technology Sydney, Faculty of Law, this reality has already led to a reworking of how they teach their students. In the latest episode of Beyond Billables, UTS lecturers stopped by to explain how their law program has been reflecting the rapid change we are experiencing when it comes to technology. Maxine Evers and Dr Philippa Ryan, two senior lecturers at UTS Faculty of Law, had a lot of insightful things to say about how law students should (and already are) preparing themselves for something of a technological revolution in their industry.   In this episode, we cover:   Why you should know how to intelligently analyse data How to protect against the uncertainty that comes with swiftly changing technology The increasing usefulness of in-house law teams How team collaboration will become more prevalent in law Why it’s a good idea for law students to pursue a dual degree in engineering, math or other STEM subjects How law will experience a ‘reverse ageism’ in the coming years Why the fundamentals of law still haven’t changed How law could become more of a ‘service industry’   Links: Maxine Evers - LinkedIn Dr Philippa Ryan - LinkedIn UTS Faculty of Law
