The growth and transformation of Islamic Finance has been scrutinized from various perspectives, both before and after the global financial crisis. Standardization of the regulatory and supervisory framework of Islamic finance has its own pros and cons for industry stakeholders such as regulators, policy-makers, and Islamic legal experts. The lecture will explore these areas in light of the new regulatory architecture being developed in the post-crisis banking industry.

LEGAL BIOGRAPHY PROJECT
The last outlaw: Doing duty over Jimmy Governor
Dr Katherine Biber (University of Technology, Sydney)
This paper examines some of the archival records created and preserved in relation to the Australian Aboriginal outlaw, Jimmy Governor. Convicted of multiple murders on the eve of Australian Federation, Jimmy Governor, the Aboriginal serial killer and Australia’s last outlaw, was nevertheless given every protection under the law. Whilst most historical accounts of Governor focus upon his dreadful crimes, his ability to elude capture, and his eventual execution, this paper seeks to examine him through the law. The presentation will focus upon a special diary kept by the officers guarding him at Darlinghurst Gaol in 1900-1901 during his time in the condemned cell. It reflects upon the materiality of these records, and in so doing, it advances an argument about archival records as evidence of law, of duty, and of public administration. Whereas in the past Jimmy Governor’s story has primarily been told in the genre of law-breaking, this article proposes using archival records about Governor to reveal him as an agent of law-making. On the brink of Australian Federation, the Jimmy Governor case provides evidence of a commitment to the rule of law.
