SUMMARY:Lessons from history: colonial foundations of criminal justice in Victoria
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that The Hon Justice Chris Maxwell AC will deliver the Society’s inaugural Paul Mullaly History and Law Lecture during Law Week 2023. \nThis lecture will explore the value of legal history\, both as a window into social and political history and as an aid to understanding the present state of the law. By way of illustration\, the lecture will highlight key aspects of criminal justice in colonial Victoria – jury trials\, the role of the trial judge\, and early ideas about proof and punishment – drawing on Paul Mullaly’s foundational work ‘Crime in the Port Phillip District 1835-51’. \nThe Royal Historical Society of Victoria was much saddened at the death of long-serving member\, His Honour Paul Mullaly QC\, in 2022 just shy of his 93rd birthday. Paul contributed substantially to the RHSV over many years and in many ways however his greatest contribution has been his transcription and annotation of Judge Willis’ Port Phillip Casebooks\, for which legal scholars will always be in his debt. Paul’s work can be found on a mini-website within the RHSV website here: The Judge Willis Casebooks . To honour Paul’s contribution we have established this biennial lecture on history and law in our Distinguished Lecturer series. \n\nThe Hon Chris Maxwell has been a highly respected Justice especially known for his advocacy for individual rights. Maxwell initially studied at The University of Melbourne then\, after receiving a Rhodes Scholarship\, Maxwell went to the University of Oxford and then graduated in law. He was admitted to the Bar as a member of Lincoln’s Inn in 1978. Maxwell returned to Melbourne the following year and was admitted to the Victorian Bar in 1984. \nIn 1981 he interrupted his legal career to take up an appointment as Principal Private Secretary to Senator Gareth Evans\, then Commonwealth Attorney-General. He practised in constitutional and administrative law and in revenue law.  In 1994\, Justice Chris Maxwell was counsel assisting the Judicial Inquiry into the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. \nHe was appointed a Queen’s Counsel in 1998. A champion for the rights of the individual\, Maxwell was Legal Aid Commissioner for seven years. He was President of Liberty Victoria\, for which he appeared pro bono as Counsel in the Tampa case to argue that the Commonwealth had unlawfully detained those rescued on the Norwegian container ship. \n\n\n\n\nIn 2003–04\, Justice Maxwell undertook a review for the Victorian Government of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1985.  The recommendations of that review were implemented in the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004.\n\n\n\n\nIn 2005 Maxwell was appointed the second President of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria. He retired\, after serving 17 years as President\, in 2022. \n\n\n\nIn June 2015\, he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom 5:30pm – 6pm the RHSV serves refreshments before the lecture commences at 6pm. Zoom audiences will join at 6pm. Zoom log-in details will be sent to attendees 24 hours prior to the lecture.\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto caption: The Chris Maxwell delivering the 2019 Victoria Law Foundation Oration.

SUMMARY:Ned Kelly; a new lens
DESCRIPTION:Partway through the Jerilderie Letter\, Ned Kelly accused Senior Constable Anthony Strahan of threatening to shoot him ‘like a dog’. Two days after Anthony reputedly made his threat\, Ned and his gang shot dead three policemen at Stringybark Creek\, believing one of the cops was Anthony.\n\n\n\nLachlan Strahan\, Anthony’s great-great-grandson\, and author of “Justice in Kelly Country” grew up believing Ned Kelly was a heroic outlaw and Anthony the ruthless cop who pursued him. Yet\, as he combed through letters\, police reports\, court transcripts\, newspapers and family histories\, Lachlan pieced together a different story about the life of his ancestor.\n\n\n\nThe event will feature an in-depth discussion between Dr. Andrew Lemon and Lachlan Strahan. During the discussion\, the two experts will explore recent research\, discoveries\, and conclusions about Ned Kelly\, and examine how these findings could change the common narrative about him. Attendees can expect to gain a new perspective on the famous Australian outlaw\, and the discussion will touch on themes such as justice and retribution\, morality and character\, and making a life against the odds in a frontier society.\n\nOur events are fairly relaxed and convivial and we always have refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the event will start. All our events are now hybrid so there will both an audience at the RHSV and on Zoom (from 6pm). The discussion usually takes one hour including audience Q&A\, finishing at 7pm. \nPlease note that this event was originally promoted with Alex McDermott as a speaker. Unfortunately\, due to illness\, Alex has had to pull out so it will now be a ‘deep-dive’ between Lachlan Strahan and Andrew Lemon. \nSpeakers \nDr Lachlan Strahan is a descendant of Senior Constable Anthony Strahan\, accused by Ned Kelly of threatening to shoot him ‘like a dog’.  Lachlan’s book\, published by Monash University Publishing\, is Justice in Kelly Country: The Story of the Cop Who Hunted Australia’s Most Notorious Bushrangers.  \nLachlan joined the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in 1993 as a graduate trainee\, and recently completed a three-month assignment as Australia’s Acting United Nations Ambassador in Geneva\, managing Australia’s first session as a member of the Human Rights Council. Dr Strahan was an Assistant Secretary in the International Division at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet\, 2013-15\, managing relations with the Middle East\, South and Southeast Asia\, the Americas and the Pacific. During his time there\, he played a central role in developing a major counter-terrorism package in the wake of ISIL’s capture of Mosul\, and coordinating the initial stage of the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370\, receiving an excellence in leadership award for the latter. \nHe has published several articles and two books\, “Australia’s China: changing perceptions from the 1930s to the 1990s” and “Day of Reckoning\,” which was shortlisted for the 2006 New South Wales Premier’s Australian History Prize. \nDr Andrew Lemon AM has enjoyed a distinguished career as a professional historian\, specialising in Australian social and cultural history in their British and colonial context. An accessible writer\, he believes that the local and particular illuminate the big questions we ask about ourselves and our society. A recent past president of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, Andrew was honoured as a Member of the Order of Australia for services to community history and the racing industry. \n
