Centre celebrates 20th anniversary
Twenty years of CPICL were celebrated on 13 December 2023 with the launch of a Special CPICL edition of the UQ Law Journal.
Guests included CPICL founders, Professor Emeritus Suri Ratnapala and Professor Reid Mortensen, and the Centre’s three Directors, Professors Suri Ratnapala, Jennifeer Corrin and Anthony Cassimatis, and UQLJ editors Dr Iian Field, Assoc Professor Rebecca Ananian- Welsh and Mr Renato Costa.
The Special Issue features a forward from Professor Anthony Cassimatis AM, and an Introduction by Professor Ann Black and Dr Jospeh Lelliot (The CPICL editors for the edition). Contributors include: Professor Nicholas Aroney, Dr Paul Taylor, Professor Jonathon Crowe (University of Southern Queensland), Professor Reid Mortensen (University of Southern Queensland), Dr Yvonne Breitwieser-Faria, Professor Sue Farran (Newcastle University), Dr Constance Lee (CQ University), and Simon Miller.
The articles represent the full breadth of CPICL, spanning issues in public, international, and comparative law. The Centre’s focus on the Asia-Pacific is well represented, with articles on Japan’s Constitution, the push from Pacific nations for Climate Justice, and the tension (and convergence) between the foundations of Confucianism and constitutionalism.
