DESCRIPTION:DCL Research Series: MEDIA PITCH\n\nFive Doctor of Law candidat
 es will go head-to-head to compete in the Faculty of Law's first-ever medi
 a pitch event. They will be evaluated by a panel of judges and challenged 
 to explain why their research is timely and relevant.\n\nThis is the first
  of a two-part media pitch series. The Winter Semester pitch will include 
 judges from external media. All members of the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community are invite
 d to attend!\n\nMeet the contestants and their projects\n\n1) Timiebi Agan
 aba\n	Overcoming the danger of a 'single story' of space actors: The power 
 of narratives in framing law and approaches to law can never be underestim
 ated! As such\, the 'single story' of who can engage in outer space activi
 ties is damaging to aspirational and emerging space actors. Can a new conc
 eptual lens inspired by third world approaches to international law (twail
 ) minimize the danger of a 'single story'? The CAIL approach presented in 
 this talk is situAted within this attempt.\n	2) Alexandra Pasca \n	Portraits
  du juge et de l'avocat civilistes dans la culture populaire: Mon projet d
 e recherche porte sur l’évolution du rôle des juges et des avocats civilis
 tes\, en particulier dans le contexte des réformes récentes du système jud
 iciaire québécois. Ma thèse est que la fonction symbolique de l’avocat et 
 du juge – prêtres de la justice – s’est érodée au 21e siècle\, laissant pl
 ace à des fonctions administrative et transactionnelle qui trouvent écho n
 otamment dans la culture populaire (films et littérature). Je m'interroge 
 non seulement sur la culture populaire comme miroir du droit\, mais égalem
 ent quant à son impact sur la pratique du droit\, voire sur la redéfinitio
 n même de la fonction des avocats et des juges dans la société contemporai
 ne.\n	3) Alexander Ezenagu\n	From Double Taxation to Non-taxation: why devel
 oping countries are still under-developed: Tax treaties are the primary me
 ans by which countries cooperate to avoid double taxation and counter tax 
 evasion\, but they have also become a central means for multinationals to 
 avoid taxation on a global basis. I seek to analyze the strengths and weak
 nesses of these tax conventions and standards as they affect developing co
 untries\, in order to assess the efficacy and viability of harmonization m
 echanisms\, whether developed by the OECD or otherwise\n	4) Eliza Bateman\n
 	Snake oil salesmen for a new millennium? A federal Bill before US Congress
  proposes to ban LGBTQ conversion therapies. This would make unlawful all 
 clinical interventions to change sexual orientation\, on the basis that to
  offer this change constitutes therapeutic fraud. This is religion and psy
 chology going head to head on the question of biology versus choice in sex
 uality and equality versus religious freedom rights. Who will blink first?
  \n	5) Bradley Por\n	First Peoples' blockades enacting law across Canada: On
  the unceded lands of BC\, and all across Canada\, First Peoples' have for
 med blockades to stop development on their territories\, to which they cla
 im Aboriginal title. unable to wait for title claims to be proven in court
  while their lands are being accessed and developed without consent\, Firs
 t Peoples' at blockades are securing and protecting their territories and 
 enacting their own Indigenous laws.\n
