People. The Rt Hon Lady Justice Rafferty - our new Chancellor
The Chancellor is the senior lay Officer of the University and empowered to confer degrees and other academic awards. The appointment was approved by the University Council and follows a period in which University students, staff, alumni and friends were invited to nominate individuals who united a strong belief in universities and their transformational importance to society with the professional and personal qualities to serve in this unique ambassadorial role. Lady Justice Rafferty read Law at the University of Sheffield, graduating with an LLB in 1971. She began her pupillage in 1974, was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1990 and a Recorder of the Crown Court in 1991. In an outstanding career, Dame Anne has served in a number of senior positions including Chairmanship of the Criminal Bar Association and of the Criminal Procedure Rule Committee – in each case the first woman in these roles. In August this year she became Chairman of the Judicial College. She suggested and wrote the 1989 Pigot Committee recommendation (how the young or vulnerable give evidence in court), acknowledged as a major contribution to the administration of justice and replicated internationally. Dame Anne said: "The University gave me so much that I have always felt in its debt. This privilege – which means the world to me – begins my opportunity to repay.
"Sheffield is a world-class player for good reason: its research contribution is outstanding, but it never forgets that university life begins with undergraduates and depends on inspiring teaching and leadership."
Following the retirement of our current Chancellor Sir Peter Middleton in summer 2015, the University of Sheffield’s new Chancellor will be The Right Honourable Lady Justice Rafferty, DBE – a law graduate of the University and a Lord Justice of Appeal since 2011.

Project Update: STREAM (Strategic Targeting of Recidivism through Evaluation and Monitoring
Contact the Research Team If anyone would like to find out more information about the project, please contact, Angela Sorsby or Joanna Shapland. [email protected] [email protected]
The final conference of the EU project STREAM (Strategic Targeting of Recidivism through Evaluation and Monitoring) took place in Malta from 22-24 October 2014. STREAM is about improving the quality of probation supervision and enabling probation initiatives to be evaluated. The University of Sheffield has been leading the work-package on transferring training on quality one-to-one supervision of offenders for experienced probation officers to Romania, replicating our evaluation of the package in England. The conference was attended by some 90 delegates from 21 countries, including directors of probation, policy makers and senior practitioners, and was opened by the Minister for Home Affairs of Malta. Professor Joanna Shapland gave a keynote presentation on 'Promoting quality in probation supervision: evaluating the SEEDS programme in Romania'. Dr Angela Sorsby, with Nigel Hosking of the National Offender Management Service of England and Wales and Ramona Balaita, probation inspector in the Romanian Probation Service, gave two workshops for delegates on 'Evaluation in practice'.
Joanna at the conference Project Update: 'Good' Police Custody Study
The aim of the study is to rigorously examine what ‘good’ police custody is, taking into account recent shifts towards civilianisation and privatisation in how police custody is delivered. This research will make an impact by contributing to existing mechanisms for monitoring and reforming police custody.

Seminars and Events.
Professor Sarah Blandy organised an interdisciplinary workshop on Co-ops and Commons, 16-18 October 2014, with the assistance of Sarah Beedham. Academic lawyers, anthropologists, geographers and planners presented their current research, and they visited Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, a recently established employee/tenant mutual orgnisation; and LILAC, a new eco-housing community in Leeds with an innovative legal, financial and social structure. Intensive and fascinating discussions amongst the participants developed over the three days of the workshop.
The photo above shows their visit to LILAC, a legally, financially and environmentally innovative co-housing development, hosted by Dr Paul Chatterton, Geography, University of Leeds, who lives at LILAC. Workshop participants from left to right: Doug Harris, Sarah Blandy, Paul Chatterton (and baby), Alison Clarke, Anne Bottomley, Maja Hojer Bruun, Ting Xu, Wei Gong, Simone Abram, Tom Archer.
Co-ops and Commons Workshop, 16-18 October 2014
Aims of the workshop The impetus came from the very successful 'Alternative Property Practices' seminar held at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law, Onati, 3-4 April 2014. The idea was to follow up on some of the ideas from this seminar, which aimed to: ‘explore what property can and might be, once the land‐image has been dispensed with as the 'proper' (only) grounding for 'thinking' (conceptualising) property. In doing so, it challenges 'property theory' by beginning with two sets of practices which we have associated with 'alternative property practices' ‐ using them to explore the fabrication of property relations through the framing of 'practices', rather than the attribution of conceptual framings located in and through the land‐image of property relations. Bringing together scholars experienced in the practices of alternative properties, along with theoretical researchers who draw on resources outside of the orthodox property theory framework, will allow us to examine the evidence that we need another approach for property thinking, as well as to explore the methods and concepts which may help us in developing an alternative approach: one which directly engages with, recognises and uses, the implications of 'alternative property practices'. The value of this work to the debate is that these initiatives have had to struggle, directly, with a lack of legal forms appropriate to property practices which go well beyond the image of an individual owner having property in a specific thing.’ This workshop will develop these issues further, by setting up a space for discussion between those who research and/or implement legal forms for co-operatives and commons, with those who observe and/or participate in such collective endeavours. This discussion will contribute to the debate and respond to the increasing interest by academics and policy makers in the role of communal property and community management, and the interplay of communal property with private and public interests. An important aspect of the workshop is to facilitate networking and knowledge exchange.

On 9 October, British Institute of International and Comparative Law hosted a public seminar on the issue of State responsibility for cyber operations, organised by Kristin Hausler (Associate Senior Research Fellow). The expert panel, which was chaired by Cathy Adams (Legal Director, Foreign and Commonwealth Office), included Dr Marco Roscini (Westminster Law School), as well as Professor Nicholas Tsagourias and Dr Russell Buchan (both at the University of Sheffield). Speakers covered various topics, such as the attribution and evidentiary rules applicable to cyber operations, as well as the question of countermeasures in case of internet-based attacks. Among the questions considered, the speakers discussed whether a cyber-attack can constitute an armed attack under Article 51 of the UN Charter, which would in turn allow a state to exercise its right to self-defence. A number of interesting parallels were also drawn from international environmental law and the concept of transboundary harm.
