Abstract:

Looking at institutional policy and professional standards, this chapter highlights ways of developing greater cultural safety within law schools, with a view to raising the cultural safety of the legal system more broadly. The first part of this chapter defines cultural safety and examines its significance to the process of embedding Indigenous perspectives in law schools. The authors then closely examine an institutional strategy that can support law schools to decolonise their curricula. The chapter also discusses the role of standards and requirements for admission to practice in influencing legal curricula. Finally, industry standards for health professionals are considered with a view to capturing lessons for developing professional admissions standards in law.
