Episode 11: Defining Indigenous in Africa and the Americas Part 1

In the last segment of Season 2 of Juristudents, Tiemo and Aljaz discuss another extensive topic in a two part episode - how the term indigenous peoples is defined by the American Court of Human Rights and the African Court of Human Rights. In this first part, Tiemo and Aljaz will look at how the American court handles the definition, what are the issues with it and how can it be improved. They discover that indigenous rights were created to protect an especially vulnerable group in society; however, for them to work, we need a definition of “indigenous” - this can be very tricky. Aljaz and Tiemo are both encouraging everyone to get in touch with their definitions.

Listen to Part 1 first! This is the second part to the trip to East Asia by Tiemo and Aljaz as they continue the explore the similarities, differences and controversies of the Chinese and the Singaporean international commercial courts.

Episode 9: The Chinese Int'l Commerical Court: A Rival to the Singapore Int'l Commercial Court? Part 1

In this episode, Tiemo and Aljaz virtually travel to east Asia to compare the new China International Commercial Court to the established Singapore International Commercial Court. There are various procedural and substantive differences to the courts starting with the political reasons behind their establishment. Also in this episode, they discuss the jurisdictional aspects about what kinds of cases can be brought before each court. Naturally, the conversation expands also to a more general discussion on the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and what this may mean for the future of international commercial dispute resolution. The research for this topic was so extensive, the episode had to be split into two episodes and the second part will be published shortly. Both Aljaz and Tiemo are looking forward to all interactions from listeners.

Episode 8: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Tiemo and Aljaž record one of the most difficult episodes yet. They have a conversation on what is happening currently and why in Israel and surrounding territories. They provide a brief history of Israel and Palestine and discuss legal terms such as self defense, necessity, proportionality and distinction. After, they have a conversation trying to present all sides to this incredibly complex issue and ponder about possible solutions, what ifs and whens. Tiemo and Aljaž realize this is an incredibly emotional topic for many people and there are extreme views on both sides. With this episode, Juristudents is not taking a stand for any side and simply wants to bring back something so often missing in our lives - conversation about difficult issues. Thank you for listening. Aljaž and Tiemo would love to hear your reactions, thoughts, and comments on this episode and hope it can spark a fairer debate. [*Note* This episode was recorded prior to the ceasefire.]

Episode 7: Conflict Minerals in the DRC with Special Guest Maja Tuma

Tiemo and Aljaž are joined by a special guest Maja to guide them on a path exploring conflict minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The mineral mostly discussed in this episode and dominant in the DRC is cobalt. These cobalt mines are problematic as they may involve child labor and other human rights abuses. The trio explore what the EU has been doing to mitigate the situation, namely the Conflict Minerals Regulation and expand to a broader discussion on the solution for human rights abuses in mineral mines. The discussion goes beyond the DRC to Africa in general where issues of corruption are rampant and external actors such as Russia and China are stirring the pot making it difficult to prevent human rights exploitation in these mines.

Episode 4: Corruption in International Business Transactions

Juristudents is back on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! :) Tiemo and Aljaž continue their expedition in Season 2 by addressing a topic that seems to get attention every now and then in the news, but always seems to die down and the issues continue to occur. Corruption, more specifically, bribery is dominant in business transactions all around the world. Aljaž and Tiemo explore the notion of corruption and why it is so relevant in the international context. They define the curious cultural background of corruption via psychological phenomena, as well as tradition - such as Chinese guanxi. This leads to a general discussion about what is being done to prevent bribery, for example work by the OECD, and why corruption seems to be a flaw in the governing systems that is so difficult to eradicate. Both are excited and intrigued to hear your opinions on the topic.

Episode 3: Mental Health Law with Special Guest Sabrina Nucciotti

The voyage in Season 2 continues for Tiemo and Aljaz with a very special episode, namely a guest episode. A special guest, Sabrina Nucciotti, comes on to talk about a very topical area of mental health, more specifically, the legal aspects surrounding this incredibly diverse sector. The three musketeers talk about, specifically, mental health law in Scotland with the current mental health act being under review and eventually branch out into a more general discussion and even some arguments on capacity, consent, medical paternalism and even the coronavirus vaccines. We are all looking forward to your reactions and interacting with everyone. Tiemo and Aljaz would like express gratitude to Sabrina for taking the time out of her busy schedule to come on as the first guest on Season 2.

Episode 2: Crime, Moral Panics and the Media

In episode 2 of the second season, Tiemo and Aljaž embark on a contemporary journey and discuss the complex monster of 'moral panics'. They illuminate the impact of the media on everyday citizens and their reactions to certain news that are being portrayed. When defining moral panic and its connection to crime, Aljaž and Tiemo talk about sex offenders in the news and contrast them with child pornography which does not seem to create the same moral panic as the former. Discussing controversial topics such as the hearing of Justice Kavanaugh and the BLM protests, some disagreements arise as Aljaž and Tiemo try to show multiple sides of the argument and display the true effect of moral panics in this day and age of social media. Both are excited to hear your opinions on this topic.

Episode 1: Genetic Diseases - Balancing Confidentiality and the Right to Know

Aljaz and Tiemo explore an interesting area of the law in the UK. A recent case of ABC v St George's Healthcare NHS Trust offered a new perspective on an issue of genetic disorders in a familial sense. Genetic disorders can greatly affect one’s health situation, whether through the disease itself or also simply knowing it exists and the possibility of getting it. Aljaz and Tiemo discuss and attempt to answer the question of whether there should be a legal right to be informed about a family member’s genetic disorder utilizing the ABC case as reference. They use the case as a guide; however, discussion quickly drifts to what implications such a duty may have. Both Aljaz and Tiemo are excited to hear your opinions on this topic.
