Bringing Open Justice to a New Level: Film Footage, Open Justice and the Media in England
Free public seminar presented by CMCL
This seminar is dedicated to recent developments in open justice in the courts in England and Wales.
The first session will focus on a Protocol from the Crown Prosecution Service that now allows disclosure to the media of material shown in court to the jury - such as CCTV footage or photographs – on the same day the material is shown in court. This Protocol has transformed court reporting and means television and newspaper reports can broadcast and publish what was seen in court that day. The talk will also look at other recent open justice issues such as the announcement by the Lord Chancellor that will lift the ban on filming in the courts, tweeting in court and disclosure of court documents to the media.
The second session will focus on developments in contempt of court in 2011 and related issues - the resurgence of the laws of contempt of court, the present position on suppression orders and the topical issue of super-injunctions.
Speaker: John Battle
Place: Corrs Chamber Westgarth, Sydney

Enforcement, Enforcement, What Enforcement?
Free public seminar presented by IPRIA in association with CMCL
This event is generously hosted by Blake Dawson
Intellectual property piracy and counterfeiting remains rampant in China, countries in southeast Asia, as well as other developing countries. Yet, these countries continue to disagree with developed countries over international intellectual property enforcement standards. What types of standards exist today? Why can't countries agree on harmonizing their standards? Can the new Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and the growing number of free trade agreements strengthen intellectual property enforcement in the developing world? What do we need to do to provide intellectual property rights holders with meaningful and sustainable protection
Speaker: Professor Peter K Yu- Kern Family Chair in Intellectual Property and Director, Intellectual Property Law Center , Drake University Law School , USA
