The cultural characteristics of Aboriginal groups are significantly diverse and the interface between Aboriginal people and the dominant Australian culture and justice system is highly complex. The justice system, and its many parts, interacts with Aboriginal people and culture in many different ways, and is imposing. The consideration of cultural competency is necessary in understanding how justice is applied in Australia. The organisation considered by this paper delivers legal services and justice agency programs to Aboriginal people. As a non-government community organization, it is one part of a broader justice system. Governed by an Aboriginal board, the service is in a unique position to use its cultural authority to influence how cultural competency is understood from a public policy and law reform context. The service recently implemented a Cultural Competency Framework 2017-2020 (Framework) as an iterative process to outline how it is a culturally appropriate organization. The framework includes a series of strategies and actions with mechanisms for accountability. This paper will explore the legal service’s organizational approach to developing cultural competency and its application to the provision of legal aid services and justice programs. In turn, it serves as a valuable example of how a legal organisation can make a meaningful commitment to developing cultural competency. So long as Aboriginal issues or people are referred to in any context, consideration of the suitability of how an organisation approaches cultural competency, and develops its people, is relevant.
土著群体的文化特征非常多样化,土著人与占主导地位的澳大利亚文化和司法系统之间的联系非常复杂。司法系统及其许多部分以许多不同的方式与原住民和文化互动,并且令人印象深刻。在理解澳大利亚如何实施司法时,有必要考虑文化能力。本文所考虑的组织为原住民提供法律服务和司法机构项目。作为一个非政府社区组织,它是更广泛的司法系统的一部分。该服务由原住民委员会管理,在利用其文化权威影响如何从公共政策和法律改革背景下理解文化能力方面处于独特地位。该服务最近实施了2017-2020年文化能力框架(框架),作为一个迭代过程,以概述其如何成为一个适合文化的组织。该框架包括一系列具有问责机制的战略和行动。本文将探讨法律服务机构培养文化能力的组织方法及其在提供法律援助服务和司法项目中的应用。反过来,它也成为一个有价值的例子,说明法律组织如何对发展文化能力做出有意义的承诺。只要在任何情况下提到原住民问题或人,考虑一个组织如何处理文化能力并培养其人员的合适性是相关的。

A Mini-public of Academics: Experimenting with Deliberative Democracy and Indigenous Cultural Competency in Legal Education 学术界的小公众:法律教育中的协商民主与本土文化能力的实验

In this short article we report on a novel consultation event held in 2017. Fifty-two Indigenous and non-Indigenous legal academics convened in Melbourne to draft and promulgate standards to be followed by law schools across Australia for promoting Indigenous cultural competency. The consultation took the general form of a mini-public. A mini-public is a decision-making body whose members are randomly selected from – but demographically representative of – a broader public. Public decision-making by mini-publics is now routine. Yet ours was a distinctive variation, in that the mini-public purported to represent not the whole public of a jurisdiction, but only a particular professional class within it – in this case legal academics in Australia. We convened this mini-public of legal academics in order to give greater legitimacy to the promulgated guidelines for cultural competency in law school curricula.The article explores the content of the consultation, centring on its suggestions for improved breadth, content and quality of legal teaching, as it touches the lives of Indigenous people. Most of all, however, the article assesses the unique use of a mini-public to represent an unusually small and highly formally educated public. We generally rely here on our own qualitative observations about the novel consultative process and its methods.
在这篇短文中,我们报道了2017年举行的一次新颖的咨询活动。52名土著和非土著法律学者在墨尔本召开会议,起草并颁布澳大利亚各地法学院应遵循的标准,以提高土著文化能力。咨询采取了小型公众的一般形式。小型公众是一个决策机构,其成员是从更广泛的公众中随机选择的,但在人口统计学上具有代表性。小型公众的公共决策现在已成为惯例。然而,我们的是一个独特的变化,因为小型公众声称代表的不是司法管辖区的整个公众,而是司法管辖区内的特定专业阶层——在本案中是澳大利亚的法律学者。我们召集了这个法律学者的小型公众,以使颁布的法学院课程文化能力准则具有更大的合法性。文章探讨了咨询的内容,重点是其对提高法律教学的广度、内容和质量的建议,因为它涉及土著人民的生活。然而,最重要的是,这篇文章评估了小型公众的独特用途,以代表一个不同寻常的小型和受过高等正规教育的公众。在这里,我们通常依赖于我们自己对新颖的协商过程及其方法的定性观察。

UNSW Law Faculty has one of the most advanced offerings nationally for Indigenous law students, aimed both at providing pathways for entrance into legal studies, and academic and pastoral support throughout degree programs. In 2017, research was conducted into the experience of Indigenous students in the Faculty of Law, to evaluate what has been done well, what could be done better, and where the Faculty should look to next in growing its support for Indigenous law students. The research includes original primary research, in the form of a digital survey of present and past Indigenous law students, and two focus groups, one with current students and one with graduates.This paper will outline two of the issues that Indigenous students say are most challenging about attending law school. These are: the experience of imposter syndrome and the lack of institutional flexibility around the complex lives of many Indigenous law students. The research also discusses factors that are protective against discontinuation of studies, including fostering of cultural safety in the classroom and on campus, and attention to the needs of the whole students, including mental health and the needs of student parents. With the voices of the students firmly at the forefront, the paper includes recommendations for some priority areas in Indigenous student support in tertiary legal education.
新南威尔士大学法学院为土著法律学生提供了全国最先进的课程之一,旨在为进入法律研究提供途径,并在整个学位课程中提供学术和牧业支持。2017年,对法学院土著学生的经历进行了研究,以评估哪些方面做得好,哪些方面可以做得更好,以及法学院在增加对土著法律学生的支持方面下一步应该着眼于哪里。这项研究包括以数字调查的形式对现在和过去的土著法律专业学生进行的原始初级研究,以及两个重点小组,一个针对现在的学生,一个面向毕业生。本文将概述土著学生所说的上法学院最具挑战性的两个问题。这些是:冒名顶替综合症的经历,以及许多土著法律系学生复杂生活中缺乏制度灵活性。该研究还讨论了防止学业中断的因素,包括在课堂和校园中培养文化安全,以及关注全体学生的需求,包括心理健康和学生家长的需求。由于学生的声音坚定地站在最前面,该文件为高等法律教育中的土著学生支持的一些优先领域提出了建议。

Dealing with the ‘Wicked’ Problem of Race and the Law: A Critical Journey for Students (and Academics) 处理种族和法律的“邪恶”问题:学生(和学者)的关键旅程
IF 0.3 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.53300/001c.9043

In 2014, we co-facilitated the specialist elective ‘Race and the Law’ as an LLB summer school intensive. Our pedagogical design was informed by Indigenous philosophy and knowledge (Watson, 2014; Morgan, 2012; Moreton-Robinson, 2007) and by Critical Race and Whiteness Theory (Delgado & Stefanic, 2012; Goldberg, 2001; Moreton-Robinson, 2009). Our aim was to prompt students to think critically about the ongoing significance of race to law (and law to race), how systems of race structure social relations, the capacity of mainstream law to operate as a racialised system of power, and whiteness as a position of privilege. We also sought to empower students by engaging them in a reflexive praxis through which they could develop self-awareness of the significance of race and respond to its influence in their personal and professional lives. As Liptsitz argues, there is a ‘possessive investment in whiteness’ because of the close relationship between white supremacy and the accumulation of assets, or what he calls the ‘wages of whiteness’ (Lipsitz, 2006). This ‘possessive investment’ became evident in our class discussion once we turned attention to an examination of special measures, affirmative action and other mechanisms that aim to equalise opportunities and alleviate the material inequities mediated by race – that is, the wicked problem, racism. In this paper, we share our reflections on our success in using theory as a practice to challenge the wicked problem of racism in the law classroom, and within the law curriculum. In addition, we reflect on the value of team teaching in this complex and dynamic teaching space and the significance to legal institutions and the profession of engaging law students in critical learning on race and whiteness.
2014年,我们联合举办了“种族与法律”专业选修课,作为法学学士暑期课程的强化课程。我们的教学设计受到土著哲学和知识的启发(Watson, 2014;摩根,2012;morton - robinson, 2007)和《批判种族与白度理论》(Delgado & Stefanic, 2012;戈德堡,2001;Moreton-Robinson, 2009)。我们的目的是促使学生批判性地思考种族对法律(以及法律对种族)的持续意义,种族体系如何构建社会关系,主流法律作为种族化的权力体系的运作能力,以及白人作为特权地位。我们还试图通过让学生参与反思性实践来增强他们的能力,通过这种实践,他们可以培养对种族重要性的自我意识,并对其在个人和职业生活中的影响做出反应。正如Lipsitz所说,由于白人至上主义和资产积累之间的密切关系,或者他所说的“白人工资”(Lipsitz, 2006),因此存在“对白人的占有性投资”。在我们的课堂讨论中,当我们把注意力转向特殊措施、平权行动和其他旨在平等机会和减轻由种族介导的物质不平等的机制时,这种“占有性投资”变得明显起来——种族主义是一个邪恶的问题。在本文中,我们分享了我们成功地运用理论作为实践来挑战法律课堂和法律课程中的种族主义邪恶问题的思考。此外,我们还反思了在这个复杂而动态的教学空间中团队教学的价值,以及对法律机构和法律学生参与种族和白人批判性学习的职业的重要性。

‘The Difficulties of Communication Encountered by Indigenous Peoples’: Moving Beyond Indigenous Deficit in the Model Admission Rules for Legal Practitioners “原住民的沟通困难”:超越法律从业人员入职规则范本的原住民缺陷

The Law Admissions Consultative Committee’s Model Admission Rules 2015 require new practising lawyers to have an ‘awareness’ of the difficulties of communication attributable to cultural differences, including ‘the difficulties of communication encountered by Indigenous peoples’ (LACC: 31). While there is no doubt that effective cross-communication is essential to providing ethical legal representation for clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, this paper will argue that in the context of the First Peoples of Australia greater regulatory attention to these issues is urgently needed and that the ‘difficulties of communication’ need to be framed differently. Numerous reports and inquiries have shown that First Peoples’ encounters with the Australian legal system are fraught with a lack of cultural understanding on the part of non-Indigenous legal actors. Given the ongoing and systemic over-representation of First Peoples in the criminal justice system and child protection regimes, there is a critical need for lawyers to develop Indigenous cultural competency as one step towards addressing this gross injustice, and making the Australian legal system more responsive to the needs and aspirations of First Peoples. Canadian developments, particularly in the wake of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, underline the scale and significance of this need, and provide some broader context for a reconsideration of legal education and professional admission requirements in Australia. This paper will argue that Indigenous cultural competency should be a mandatory requirement for admission to legal practice in Australia, and that the ‘deficit discourse’ on First Peoples’ engagement with the legal system must be discarded, to ensure that legal ethical and professional responsibilities are inclusive of the needs of First Peoples.
法律入学咨询委员会2015年的《入学示范规则》要求新执业律师“意识到”文化差异造成的沟通困难,包括“土著人民遇到的沟通困难”(LACC: 31)。毫无疑问,有效的交叉沟通对于为来自不同文化背景的客户提供合乎道德的法律代理至关重要,本文将认为,在澳大利亚第一民族的背景下,迫切需要对这些问题进行更大的监管关注,并且需要对“沟通困难”进行不同的定义。许多报告和调查表明,第一民族与澳大利亚法律制度的接触充满了非土著法律行为者缺乏文化理解的问题。鉴于第一民族在刑事司法系统和儿童保护制度中的持续和系统性代表性过高,律师迫切需要发展土著文化能力,作为解决这一严重不公正现象的一步,并使澳大利亚的法律制度更能满足第一民族的需求和愿望。加拿大的事态发展,特别是在真相与和解委员会的最后报告之后,强调了这一需要的规模和重要性,并为重新考虑澳大利亚的法律教育和专业入学要求提供了一些更广泛的背景。本文将论证土著文化能力应该是进入澳大利亚法律实践的强制性要求,并且必须抛弃关于第一民族参与法律体系的“赤字话语”,以确保法律道德和专业责任包括第一民族的需求。

The Indigenous Cultural Competency for Legal Academics Program (ICCLAP) was designed to promote the incorporation of Indigenous cultural competency (ICC) in legal education with a view to creating inclusive learning environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander law students, and to build ICC in all students. This paper will discuss the project’s activities and key findings from the literature review, consultation process and survey of law schools on the current state of play with respect to embedding ICC in legal curricula. These findings set out barriers and constraints, critical success factors, and guiding principles for embedding ICC in law programs. It concludes by emphasising the need for ICC to be developed in collaboration with local Indigenous communities, recognising the place-based nature of Indigenous knowledges, and within a framework of legal pluralism.
土著文化能力促进法律学者方案(ICCLAP)旨在促进将土著文化能力纳入法律教育,以便为土著和托雷斯海峡岛民法律学生创造包容性学习环境,并在所有学生中建立土著文化能力。本文将讨论该项目的活动和主要发现,这些发现来自文献综述、咨询过程和法学院关于将国际刑事法院纳入法律课程的现状调查。这些发现阐明了将国际商会纳入法律项目的障碍和制约因素、关键成功因素和指导原则。报告最后强调,国际刑事法院需要在与当地土著社区合作的情况下发展,承认土著知识基于地方的性质,并在法律多元化的框架内发展。

Using Legislation to Teach Indigenous Cultural Competence in an Introductory Law Subject 法学导论课程中运用立法进行本土文化能力教学

Building the knowledge of university graduates as to Indigenous cultures, histories and contemporary social realities requires innovation in legal education. At the same time, universities are under increasing pressure to demonstrate to the legal profession how they are guiding students to develop requisite skills and knowledge in statutory interpretation. This article showcases how these dual aims may be advanced through an examination of the legislative framework that led to the Stolen Generations in NSW. These historical legislative artefacts provide the 'hook' to aid critical reflection on the role of the legal profession in the context of the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. Using legislation enables students to build a foundation in the principles of statutory interpretation that can be further developed throughout the Bachelor of Laws curriculum. This article reflects on a teaching strategy adopted in a first-year introductory law subject to advance both the embedding of Indigenous cultural competence and knowledge of the general principles of statutory interpretation. The approach is outlined, alongside an analysis of the benefits and limitations. The article emphasises the importance of recognising the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures in conjunction with an analysis of structural and historically legal forms of racial discrimination. The paper also highlights the value of meaningful consultation and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to facilitate teaching innovation in law curriculum.
建立大学毕业生对土著文化、历史和当代社会现实的认识需要法律教育的创新。与此同时,大学也面临着越来越大的压力,需要向法律界展示它们是如何引导学生培养必要的法律解释技能和知识的。本文展示了如何通过审查导致新南威尔士州被盗一代的立法框架来推进这些双重目标。这些历史立法文物提供了“钩”,以帮助批判性地反思法律职业在将土著和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童从家庭中带走的背景下所起的作用。运用立法使学生在法律解释原则方面打下基础,这些原则可以在整个法学学士课程中进一步发展。这篇文章反映了在第一年的法律导论课程中采用的一种教学策略,以促进土著文化能力的嵌入和法律解释一般原则的知识。本文概述了该方法,并对其优点和局限性进行了分析。文章强调承认土著和托雷斯海峡岛民及其文化的力量和复原力的重要性,并结合对种族歧视的结构性和历史法律形式的分析。本文还强调了与原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民进行有意义的协商和合作对促进法律课程教学创新的价值。

The article emphasises the importance of recognising the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures in conjunction with an analysis of structural and historically legal forms of racial discrimination. The paper also highlights the value of meaningful consultation and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to facilitate teaching innovation in law curriculum.","PeriodicalId":43058,"journal":{"name":"Legal Education Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41341054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Place-based learning is receiving widespread global approval for the way in which it effectively engages with local Indigenous communities. Charles Sturt University has made significant community partnerships to inform their law education curriculum. These partnerships include an “Elders in Residence” program to incorporate Indigenous place-based learning pedagogy into the teaching of core law curriculum. Such programs recognise that Indigenous Elders hold a unique place in community as the keepers of cultural knowledge. Law students engage with Indigenous knowledges to consider multiple perspectives of the law, this learning enabling students to critically reflect on their own positioning and cultural bias. The epistemological value of Indigenous knowledges is explored through the lens of justice and self-determination to equip law graduates with knowledge, skills and the competence to apply this learning to their own personal and professional practice.
基于地点的学习因其与当地土著社区有效互动的方式而受到全球广泛认可。查尔斯·斯特大学建立了重要的社区伙伴关系,为其法律教育课程提供信息。这些合作伙伴关系包括一项“老年人居住”计划,将土著基于地方的学习教学法纳入核心法律课程的教学中。这些项目认识到土著长老作为文化知识的守护者在社区中占有独特的地位。法律专业的学生接触土著知识,从多个角度考虑法律,这种学习使学生能够批判性地反思自己的定位和文化偏见。土著知识的认识论价值是通过正义和自决的视角来探索的,以使法律毕业生具备知识、技能和能力,将这些知识应用于自己的个人和职业实践。

Indigenous Contexts in the Law Curriculum: Process and Structure 法律课程中的本土语境:过程与结构

The rationale for reorienting the Australian law curriculum to incorporate and reflect Indigenous Australian knowledges, experiences, and perspectives, is well-rehearsed. Yet despite the need to enhance law graduate skills and knowledge in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cross-cultural encounters, many law teachers remain reluctant to integrate what I call here ‘Indigenous contexts’ into law teaching. Adopting the standpoint of teacher-as-researcher, this article reflects on more than a decade of educational practice seeking to understand, theorise, implement, and improve law teaching that appropriately integrates Indigenous contexts into the law curriculum. Informed by an action research methodology, this paper analyses curriculum design practice, through a ‘self-reflective spiral’ following a deliberate, long-term, learning process. The article first outlines the methodological basis for practitioner action research that informs this paper. Part III then reports on an approach to curriculum arising from the author’s own experience in subject and program-level design strategies, developed deliberately to ‘embed’ Indigenous contexts in the law curriculum. Part IV reflects on the capacity of this curriculum framework to deliver change—both in terms of personal practice, notably from the perspective of a non-Indigenous law teacher, and at the program level. It concludes by identifying a widespread need for adaptive change by law teachers to complement the technical aspects of curriculum design: namely instructor knowledge, and personal commitment to implement curriculum goals.
重新调整澳大利亚法律课程以纳入和反映澳大利亚土著人的知识、经验和观点的理由已经充分阐述。然而,尽管需要提高法律专业毕业生在原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民跨文化交流中的技能和知识,但许多法律教师仍然不愿将我在这里所说的“原住民背景”融入法律教学。本文以教师为研究者的立场,反思了十多年来寻求理解、理论化、实施和改进法律教学的教育实践,将土著背景适当地融入法律课程。本文采用行动研究方法,通过一个经过深思熟虑的长期学习过程的“自我反思螺旋”来分析课程设计实践。文章首先概述了从业者行动研究的方法论基础,为本文提供信息。然后,第三部分报告了一种基于作者自己在学科和课程层面设计策略方面的经验的课程方法,该策略是为了在法律课程中“嵌入”土著背景而故意制定的。第四部分反思了这一课程框架带来变革的能力——无论是在个人实践方面,尤其是从非土著法律教师的角度,还是在项目层面。最后,它确定了法律教师普遍需要适应性变革,以补充课程设计的技术方面:即教师知识和实施课程目标的个人承诺。

(Re)Introducing a Closed Book Exam in Law (二)引入法律闭卷考试

In the past half century there has been a move towards open book examinations in many tertiary institutions. However, the body of research on open book and more traditional closed book exams is diverse and even contradictory in its findings. Law-specific research is almost non-existent. This article discusses the findings of an empirical research project on the introduction of a closed book exam in the compulsory subject Land Law, in an institution that has only used open book exams. The closed book exam and subsequent research were motivated by concerns about the way in which contemporary students do open book exams, particularly after the invention of the internet. The study found that academic concerns about open book exams had some validity, particularly in relation to heavy reliance on notes, including other students’ notes during the exam. The authors conclude that there are advantages and disadvantages to both open and closed book exams, and that both have a role to play in a balanced assessment strategy.
在过去的半个世纪里,许多高等教育机构都采取了开卷考试的做法。然而,关于开卷考试和更传统的闭卷考试的研究结果是多样化的,甚至是相互矛盾的。专门针对法律的研究几乎不存在。本文讨论了一项实证研究项目的结果,该项目是在一个只采用开卷考试的机构中引入土地法必修科目闭卷考试的。闭卷考试和随后的研究是出于对当代学生开卷考试方式的担忧,尤其是在互联网发明之后。研究发现,学术界对开卷考试的担忧有一定的道理,尤其是在严重依赖笔记的情况下,包括考试期间其他学生的笔记。作者得出结论,开卷和闭卷考试都有优点和缺点,两者都在平衡的评估策略中发挥作用。
