Co-hosted by the Law Society of New South Wales and the New South Wales Bar Association, Mori’s presentation on the legality of the US military commission system was met with eager attention by the generously-sized crowd.

It was standing room only in some corners of the Selbourne Chambers, as the passionate yet plain-spoken Mori lambasted the US for its handling of detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, along with the inaction of the Australian Government.
