Justice, Elders and Culture in the Koori Court

Explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander approaches to justice and the law and the Koori Court at this event honouring the NAIDOC Week theme ‘For Our Elders’.

First established more than 20 years ago, the Koori Court is a court for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders developed to reflect cultural issues, promote community participation and enable culturally-informed decision making.
