Join the Arts Law Centre of Australia for an overview of Australian defamation law and recent cases, as well as tips on how to balance defamation risk and expression as a writer in Australia.
Whether you are a fiction or non-fiction writer, defamation can be an issue if you choose to base your writing on real people. This session will take you through what to look out for and how you can deal with defamation risks.
Arts Law is a national community legal centre for the arts with a mission to empower creators through the law and regularly advises writers on defamation and other legal issues.
Join Anna Spies (a lawyer at Simpsons and pro bono contributor to Arts Law, former barrister and reader) and Dr Louise Buckingham (Arts Law CEO, lawyer and reader) as they discuss defamation law in a practical and easy-to-understand way.
