CONFERENCE: 7th Annual National Indigenous Legal Conference

The National Indigenous Legal Conference Committee invites you to attend the seventh annual National Indigenous Legal Conference to be held on the 5th and 6th of October.

The conference will be held at the University of Notre Dame, Fremantle and The University of Western Australia, Perth.

This year’s conference addresses two key themes, New Approaches to Justice, and Cultural and Natural Resources Management. Within these two main themes, the conference features a number of fascinating sessions, including discussions on the Noongar Claim, Stolen Wages, Joint Management of Country, and Youth Diversionary Programs in criminal justice.

The conference also examines the current and highly significant issues of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. The program is varied and focused on prospective pathways for Indigenous peoples in Australia, and to this end it specifically focuses on the innovative work being undertaken across diverse areas of practice.

The conference has attracted a number of highly regarded experts in Indigenous law and policy, and promises to give attendees an insight into current and developing strategies in connection with the promotion and protection of Indigenous people’s land, law, culture and country.
