In this Brennan Justice Talks event, Professor Jennifer Burn will define modern slavery and discuss its occurrence in Australia. She will outline the legal provisions which seek to address modern slavery in Australia and current issues such as reparations.
Professor Burn will also discuss the work of Anti-Slavery Australia (ASA) – our unique legal service at UTS which provides legal advice and representation for people affected by modern slavery. ASA advocates for changes to laws and policies to improve the protection of the rights of people who have been trafficked and enslaved.

The Brennan Justice and Leadership Program (Brennan Program) was introduced in 2011 as a joint initiative of the UTS Faculty of Law and the UTS Law Students’ Society. The Brennan Program is a free, voluntary program for UTS Law students that seeks to strengthen the justice consciousness, idealism and sense of service that participants bring to their studies and later professional work. The program has two separate components of reflection and service. It is named after Sir Gerard Brennan AC KBE, former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia and UTS Chancellor (1999-2005). Sir Gerard’s life and career exemplified the qualities of professional leadership, service and excellence that the Program seeks to nurture.
