<h3>Caldwell Lecture 2024</h3><h4>Mā te ture anō te ture e āki (The Law must look itself in the mirror) Presented by The Honourable Justice Joe Williams KNZM</h4> In this lecture, Justice Williams will discuss how law, including our conception of law and its purpose, is changing in ways that are providing a firmer foothold for First Nations in the life of post-colonial States. He will situate these developments within the wider context of the contemporary search for a durable post-colonial identity. Justice Williams will consider the parallel journeys of New Zealand and Australia as case studies. * Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki, Māori prophet and leader c.1832-1893 We hope you can join us to hear The Honourable Justice Joe Williams speak.

Derham theatre. Entrance via Ground Mezzanine (GM) or back entrance via Level 1 The Caldwell Lecture SeriesThis endowed lectureship is awarded every five years in the areas of art, law and literature - the Caldwell Lectures were the vision of Colin Caldwell (1913–1989). Colin Hicks Caldwell entered Trinity College in 1931 as a resident student reading Law. A talented student, and subsequently a practising lawyer, Colin developed a lifelong passion for books, paintings, and porcelain. At the time of his death, the bequest — now known as the Colin Hicks Caldwell Trust — was the largest single gift in the College’s history. It provided, amongst other things, for visiting lectureships that would attract to Melbourne notable international scholars in art, art history, law or literature.
