Abstract
Since the 1990s, numerous reports and studies have identified the serious inequity experienced by First Peoples in their dealings with the Anglo-Australian Legal system, including the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC) National Report, the Human Rights Commission's 1997 Bringing Them Home Report and, more recently, the 2014 Bowraville Report. These reports have consistently called for changes in the way lawyers are educated and trained as part of the systematic reforms needed to improve the capacity of the legal system to produce just outcomes for First Peoples. A key feature of the change called is that lawyers need to develop cross-cultural competency and communication skills.
