National Bench Book


The National Bench Book on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the Legal System, crafted by the Legal Strategies Hub at UTS, serves as a vital resource for judges and legal professionals, offering insights and guidance to promote fair and culturally sensitive legal proceedings.

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
