Abstract

The Indigenous Cultural Competency for Legal Academics Program (ICCLAP) aims to increase the inclusion of Indigenous cultural competency (ICC) in legal education with a view to improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student outcomes in law and developing cultural competency in all students. ICCLAP is a cross institutional project involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal academics from five universities: University of New England, University of Technology (Sydney), RMIT University, Australian National University, and Queensland University of Technology. Our vision is to create a cohort of cultural competent legal academics to support the inclusion of Indigenous cultural competency in legal education, in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics and legal service providers. The ICCLAP project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training for a period of two years, concluding in April 2018.
