Stapled softcover, 24.5cms x 17cms 106 pages In 1977, the Australian Law Reform Commission was directed to enquire into whether it would be desirable to apply Aboriginal customary law to indigenous Australians, either in whole or in part. It is almost 20 years later, and many of the questions raised have not been resolved. The impacts of conflicts between tribal law and traditional practices and the criminal justice system still challenge the effective operation of a legal system. In this topic book the capacity of the legal system to mete out justice for indigenous Australians is questioned through the examination of four contemporary cases. Four pencilled lines inside rear cover. Book in VERY GOOD condition.
