Maxim Institute warmly invites you to join us for dinner at the 14th annual Sir John Graham Lecture.
When: 6pm Friday 6 September 2024
Where: The Pullman Hotel, Auckland CBD
The Lecture:
We trust the law to mould responsible leaders and citizens. Does it? We think our schools and universities prepare us for life. Do they? We look to the market to satisfy us. Can it?
Professor Nicholas Aroney examines what we put our faith in to create a good society. He shows how we’ve lost our way, and how we can rediscover it.
The Lecturer:
Nicholas Aroney is Professor of Constitutional Law at The University of Queensland and an External Fellow of the Centre for Law and Religion at Emory University. He has published extensively in constitutional law, comparative constitutional law, and legal theory, including books with Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and others.
He is a co-convenor of the Queensland Chapter of the Australian Association of Constitutional Law and serves on the editorial boards of several law journals in the United States and Australia.
Professor Aroney has led several international research projects in comparative federalism, bicameralism, legal pluralism, and law & religion, and he speaks frequently at international conferences on these topics.
