Criminal Trial Juries in Australia: From Penal Colonies to a Federal Democracy
The recent history of juries in Australia reveals an interesting clash between the endeavours of state and territory governments to reduce the costs associated with jury trial by various means and the determination of the High Court of Australia to reassert the traditional values and features of jury trial
Ghost constraints and the covariant quantization of the superparticle in ten dimensions
We present a modification of the Berkovits superparticle. This is firstly in
order to covariantly quantize the pure spinor ghosts, and secondly to
covariantly calculate matrix elements of a generic operator between two states.
We proceed by lifting the pure spinor ghost constraints and regaining them
through a BRST cohomology. We are then able to perform a BRST quantization of
the system in the usual way, except for some interesting subtleties. Since the
pure spinor constraints are reducible, ghosts for ghosts terms are needed,
which have so far been calculated up to level 4. Even without a completion of
these terms, we are still able to calculate arbitrary matrix elements of a
physical operator between two physical states.Comment: 38 pages, Latex, no figures. Published versio
Vilhelm Lundstedtâs âLegal Machineryâ and the Demise of Juristic Practice
This article aims to contribute to the academic debate on the general crisis faced by law schools and the legal professions by discussing why juristic practice is a matter of experience rather than knowledge. Through a critical contextualisation of Vilhelm Lundstedtâs thought under processes of globalisation and transnationalism, it is argued that the demise of the juristâs function is related to lawâs scientification as brought about by the metaphysical construction of reality. The suggested roadmap will in turn reveal that the current voiding of juristic practice and its teaching is part of the crisis regarding what makes us human
