EDITOR-IN-CHIEF’S ADDRESS

Dear Readers,

Greetings and welcome to the 2022 Winter Edition of the USQLS Law Review. As you browse and absorb the content of these pages, you will embark on an adventure of legal knowledge acquisition that would apply to current issues in the world experienced by all. The interpretation, dissection, and commentary of these applications, of course, is reserved to you; O legal scholars.

Herein lies the beauty of tackling diverse subjects. For at the end of the day, in Law just like in life, everything is interconnected and has a story to tell. The Law, you see, is a living organism. Your adventure, therefore; should you choose to accept, is to see how International Conflicts and changes in Political leadership affects Australia. How fictional characters in plays and legal theories can metaphorically be comparable to real-life occurrences in our Australian jurisdictional court practices. How the separation of Religion and State, regardless of personal sentiment by some, needs to be adhered to. And how Legislation is ever changing and will be subject to amendment in accordance to the times.

To the USQ Law Society under the leadership of its current President Tracy Bowen. The USQ Law School is all that much better because of your existence. The events, educational opportunities, volunteering initiatives, and overall support you show towards students serves as your raison d’ etre. Keep up the great work.

May nothing but love and continued success come your way.

To the Editorial Board. The publication of this issue would not have been possible if it were not for the expert guidance of our esteemed USQLS Law Review Vice President, Jaidyn Paroz. The high-quality editing and suggestions by the rest of the Editorial Board for this issue: Hamida Nazari, Mai Marie Voet, Rasha Abualhassan, and Yoon Kim is heartfeltly acknowledged.

Thank you.

And to the contributors to this issue, your legal scholarship never ceases to amaze. May copies of this issue reach far and wide so readers will see first-hand the quality of education learned through USQ Law School.

Sincerely, Bonifacio B. Arribas, Jr.
