Featuring contributions from leading lawyers, historians and social
scientists, this path-breaking volume explores encounters of laws,
people, and places in Australia since 1788. Its chapters address
three major themes: the development of Australian settler law in
the shadow of the British Empire; the interaction between settler
law and First Nations people; and the possibility of meaningful
encounter between First laws and settler legal regimes in
Australia. Several chapters explore the limited space provided by
Australian settler law for respectful encounters, particularly in
light of the High Court's particular concerns about the fragility
of Australian sovereignty. Tracing the development of a uniquely
Australian law and the various contexts that shaped it, this volume
is concerned with the complexity, plurality, and ambiguity of
Australia's legal history.
