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	\n	2) Alexandra Pasca \n	Portrai
 ts du juge et de l'avocat civilistes dans la culture populaire: Mon projet
  de recherche porte sur l’évolution du rôle des juges et des avocats civil
 istes\, en particulier dans le contexte des réformes récentes du système j
 udiciaire québécois. Ma thèse est que la fonction symbolique de l’avocat e
 t du juge – prêtres de la justice – s’est érodée au 21e siècle\, laissant 
 place à des fonctions administrative et transactionnelle qui trouvent écho
  notamment dans la culture populaire (films et littérature). Je m'interrog
 e non seulement sur la culture populaire comme miroir du droit\, mais égal
 ement quant à son impact sur la pratique du droit\, voire sur la redéfinit
 ion même de la fonction des avocats et des juges dans la société contempor
 aine.\n	\n	3) Alexander Ezenagu\n	From Double Taxation to Non-taxation: why d
 eveloping countries are still under-developed: Tax treaties are the primar
 y means 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 
 weaknesses of these tax conventions and standards as they affect developin
 g countries\, in order to assess the efficacy and viability of harmonizati
 on mechanisms\, whether developed by the OECD or otherwise\n	\n	4) Eliza Bat
 eman\n	Snake oil salesmen for a new millennium? A federal Bill before US Co
 ngress proposes to ban LGBTQ conversion therapies. This would make unlawfu
 l all clinical interventions to change sexual orientation\, on the basis t
 hat to offer this change constitutes therapeutic fraud. This is religion a
 nd psychology going head to head on the question of biology versus choice 
 in sexuality and equality versus religious freedom rights. Who will blink 
 first? \n	\n	5) Bradley Por\n	First Peoples' blockades enacting law across Ca
 nada: On the unceded lands of BC\, and all across Canada\, First Peoples' 
 have formed blockades to stop development on their territories\, to which 
 they claim Aboriginal title. unable to wait for title claims to be proven 
 in court while their lands are being accessed and developed without consen
 t\, First Peoples' at blockades are securing and protecting their territor
 ies and enacting their own Indigenous laws.\n
