In this article we present a novel approach that combines social-legal and technical methods to train machine learning models that are accurate and acceptable. Using the domain of Australian family provision law \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the statutory and common law domain that interprets testator intent and beneficiary need to rewrite testamentary dispositions \u00e2\u20ac\u201c we present machine learning techniques to create accurate, predictive classifiers in law, addressing the challenges of sparse and expertise-bound data. We situate this model inside the civil procedure mechanism of Calderbank offers which we argue can mitigate socio-legal issues of acceptance of deep learning models in law.<\/p>\n The Recommended National Standards for Working with Interpreters: Enhancing Access to Justice in Courts and Tribunals<\/b><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>The Hon Justice Melissa Perry<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>The second edition of the Recommended National Standards for Working with Interpreters in Courts and Tribunals (Standards) was launched in April 2022. The Standards recognise the critical role that interpreters play in the administration of justice in courts and tribunals in Australia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s multilingual and multicultural society. The article places the development of the Standards in its broader context from the perspective of international human rights law and procedural fairness, before canvassing key features of the Standards and the practices they seek to promote for the administration of justice by courts and tribunals.<\/p>\n Secret Ministries and The Constitution: An Implied Requirement of Publication?<\/b><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Fiona Roughley and Megan Caristo<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>While he was Prime Minister, the Hon Scott Morrison MP was appointed by the Governor-General to administer five additional departments of State unbeknownst to the other institutions of Australia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s constitutional government and the public. This article considers whether the Constitution contains an implied requirement that any appointment of a person to administer a department of State be made public within a reasonable period, and whether that requirement limits the executive power in s 64 to appoint a person to administer a department of State. Such an implication arguably arises from the text and structure of the Constitution, and in particular, the form of representative and responsible government prescribed by ss 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 23, 24, 28, 30, 49, 50, 62, 64, 75(v), 83 and 128. If the implication be accepted, and if it gives rise to a limitation on the power to appoint in s 64, absence of publication of an appointment within a reasonable period results in invalidity of the appointment. The implication may also have other consequences for the exercise of other executive (and legislative) powers.<\/p>\n BOOK REVIEW<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Angelina Gomez<\/strong><\/p>\n OBITUARY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For the PDF version of the table of contents, click here: New Westlaw Australia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 97 No 2 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n\n
