True Justice: Deep Listening

Truly understanding law in Australia requires us to listen and respond differently in the pursuit of True Justice.

We're seeking to change the way law students learn, striving for true justice through deep listening on country. @JudyHar76995181 @AnthonyLHopkins @ANU_Law

Our Aboriginal-led courses in the Northern Territory were referred to in this report as an example of an intensive high quality learning opportunity in the broader work to address bias in the legal system.

We're near the end of hosting the first True Justice Deep Listening course for a group of lawyers and support staff, starting on Larrakia country and to various locations at Kakadu National Park. Thank you to @NAAJA_NT for the opportunity.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

Today our course goes out on country to Kakadu National Park. Setting the context on Larrakia country in the last few days has been important for our journey and learning and sharing.

Learning about kinship systems and communication with clients.

Another incredible day of learning and sharing as part of the True Justice Deep Listening course. Grateful for the feedback from the civil legal team at @NAAJA_NT and the many speakers. @RichardFejo

Day 2 of a True Justice Deep Listening course for @NAAJA_NT civil legal team. Our classrooms are outside as we learn and share on country.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

True Justice grounded in deep listening. We're so excited by the upcoming sessions connecting Traditional Owners, trauma informed practitioners, cultural educators, historians, interpreters and linguists, lawyers sharing their knowledge and speaking from their own authority.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

Earlier this month we held a course for @ANU_Law at Mparntwe - Tempe Downs - Uluru.

Tomorrow we start a course for @NAAJA_NT civil legal and law and justice teams on Larrakia country and to Kakadu National Park.

We're seeking to change the way law and justice is taught.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

@Ronahidmrbg Hi, talk to your law school and we're open to hosting courses. On-country courses such as these should be the minimum standard in legal education.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

Learning about Aboriginal law, knowledge and context is by engaging directly with the source authority. These were some of our classrooms.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

This week has been the most incredible journey for 16 law students and all involved in seeking to change the way law is taught. We are all privileged to witness what we hope is planting the seeds of change for law schools/colleges across the nation.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

Yesterday we travelled far and a difficult journey to arrive at a significant spot. This source of water also served as a place to teach and learn. Incredible feedback by students as they learn Aboriginal knowledge and context as a law based course.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

The places we visit where legal institutions sit have stories and connect to our legal system today. The stories on country have a much longer history and also shape the world today. With these courses, the country also teaches.

Leaving Mparntwe and stopped at the heritage Police station through the gap. Came across this trail.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

This morning we are traveling to Tempe Downs before Uluru. We'll be on the red desert sands continuing with the experience of sharing Aboriginal views of law and justice. The country will also share as we stay for three days out of mobile and internet range.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

The canvass is beginning to take shape. Here is a reflection of an Aboriginal lawyer view of ethics and the principles of conduct and responsibility in practice.

[True Justice: Deep Listening @TrueJusticeDL]

Canvass session for the inaugural True Justice: Deep Listening course. We look forward to seeing the students reflections and a completed canvass at the end of the week. #TrueJustice22 @ANU_Law @NAAJA_NT
