Advocacy

The Indigenous Law and Justice Hub ('The Hub') is passionate about community-designed research which is designed to benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The Hub’s key priorities will be advanced through its research-focused and clearing-house functions, especially in the areas of justice and treaty, but also engaging broader issues of legal pluralism and Indigenous self-determination. The thematic foci will adapt to changes in Indigenous communities’ priorities and to encompass matters of current interest.

The Hub’s research skills and experience include:

  • In/Justice
    • Incarceration
    • Over-representation
    • Self-determination
    • Deaths in custody
    • Missing and murdered women and children
    • Juvenile detention
  • Treaty
    • Treaty making processes and governing law
    • Design of Indigenous representative institutions
    • Law and jurisdiction of Indigenous peoples
    • Sovereignty and legal pluralism
