This unit engages students in a detailed study of Indigenous experience of Australian legal and justice systems, and of the historical interaction between Indigenous and Australian law. Contexts in which these themes are explored include Land Rights and Native Title, criminal justice, Indigenous dispute settlement, and Indigenous ownership of intellectual and cultural property.
