Decolonised law degrees: A misnomer

Abstract

Despite evidence of efforts to embed Indigenous cultural competencies in law degrees there is a distinct absence of an instrument to measure a university’s performance. Currently, broad statements are the norm, with a subjective assessment focus. Instead, a tool that objectively measures embeddedness is required. This article raises the concept of a decolonising continuum measure with basic, intermediate and advanced attributes. It embraces the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholarship and the possible risks of poor implementation.
