| dc.description.abstract | Quite a lot, actually, has been written about the story of the Adelaide Law School (‘ALS’).2 All of it, though, was written before we began to realise how the English common law (taught in Australia, and all British colonial jurisdictions) ignored those who were already present long before the arrival of the British. Marcia Langton and Aaron Corn, in Law: The Way of the Ancestors, 3 demonstrate the richness of the Indigenous Law that existed before the British invasion of the Australian continent and its violent suppression of the laws of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Fernanda Pirie shows, in The Rule of Laws: A 4000-Year Quest to Order the World, 4 that there is, indeed, more than one way to understand law. Manifold in nature, law can only be understood as temporally and contextually specific. Viewing the imposed law of the coloniser through these lenses forces us to consider afresh its nature, status, and validity. | |
