Abstract
The Indigenous Cultural Competency for Legal Academics Program (ICCLAP) aims to increase the inclusion of Indigenous cultural competency (ICC) in legal education with a view to improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student outcomes in law, and also leading to better legal service delivery for Indigenous communities. An important step towards achieving this goal is to enhance legal academics’ knowledge and understanding of the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the Anglo-Australian legal system, and to build the capacity of legal academics to create incorporate Indigenous cultural competency (ICC) into law curricula, thereby improving ICC in all students. ICCLAP is a cross institutional project involving five universities: University of New England, University of Technology (Sydney), University of Melbourne, Australian National University, and Queensland University of Technology. The project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training for a period of two years, concluding in April 2018.
