ORGANIZER;CN=Dr Ana Vrdoljak:MAILTO:ana.vrdoljak@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Vindicating Plaintiffs or Vindicating Rights? Towards greater recognition of subjective party interests in the selection of remedies.\n\nThe award of every judicial remedy\, whether declaratory\, coercive\, compensatory\, restitutionary or punitive\, can be said\, in general terms\, to vindicate the legal rights of the plaintiff.\n\nDoes the law’s view of vindication accord with what plaintiffs seek by pursuing a legal remedy? This paper will consider what factors influence plaintiffs in their choice of remedy and explore whether the law’s traditional understanding of plaintiff vindication is too narrow. The paper will call for a more plaintiff-centred approach to judicial choice of remedy and seek to identify the potential benefits that may result from:\n\n(a) broadening the criteria applied in remedial decision making to include factors that influence plaintiff choice of remedy\; \n\n(b) using a wider range of remedial orders to reflect these factors\; and\, \n\n(c) other ways of acknowledging plaintiff choice.\n\nThis paper is work in progress by Robyn Carroll and Dr Normann Witzleb (Faculty of Law\, Monash University). It forms the basis of a presentation to the Melbourne Remedies Conference on 11 December 2009 and is be presented in its final version at the Non-Adversarial Justice: Implications for the Legal System and Society Conference in Melbourne\, 407 May 2010. In my presentation I will outline the research question underlying this paper and the materials we will be examining to answer it. \n\nThe first article was published as “The Role of Vindication in Torts Damages” (2009) 17 Tort Law Review 16 – 44. That paper focuses on damages\, whereas we are now looking at non-monetary remedies and judicial pronouncements. \n\nRSVP by Monday\, 12 October 2009\, 5pm: Ana Vrdoljak ana.vrdoljak@uwa.edu.au\n\n(The correct time is 12:00 noon to 12: 45pm)\n\nSpeakers: Robyn Carroll\, Senior Lecturer\, Faculty of Law LOCATION:Law Library\, Law Link Building URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091007T051209Z-857-590@events.uwa.edu.au/whats on/staffdev END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090218T032019Z-301-11176@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20090218T032019Z CREATED:20090218T032019Z DTSTART:20091013T123000 DTEND:20091013T133000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090218T045941Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:LMS Look & See - Mastering the LMS Grade Book ORGANIZER;CN=Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning:MAILTO: catloffice@admin.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Intended audience: UWA staff who are advanced users of UWA's LMS and interested in learning the tips and tricks to mastering the LMS Grade Book.\n\nHave you ever wanted to manage student access and grades in one central location?\n\nIf so\, then youwill find it invaluable to be able to use the LMS Grade Book feature effectively.\n\nThis seminar will provide a demonstration and opportunities to discuss this LMS related software.\n\nSpeakers: Yvonne Button LOCATION:Seminar Room 1 & 2\, Love House\, 28 Broadway\, Crawley URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090218T032019Z-301-11176@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/staffdev END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090209T050936Z-857-2448@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20090209T050936Z CREATED:20090209T050936Z DTSTART:20091014T094500 DTEND:20091014T104500 LAST-MODIFIED:20090209T050958Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Financial Month End Reviews and Reconciliations ORGANIZER;CN=Belinda Ireland:MAILTO:belinda.ireland@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to reinforce the University’s internal and external reporting obligations.
