‘Indigenous customary law notions of “property” and “kinship” in succession law’
Seminar – 1 CPD point per hour, area 1 compulsory competency
Overview
Many indigenous Australians die
intestate, but common law notions of
property, property rights and family do
not easily fit within the concepts of
indigenous customary law. What is the
existing capacity of indigenous people to
exercise succession rights against their
estate? Can traditional ownership rights
and cultural responsibilities be properly
respected after death?
Speaker
Raelene has an extensive practice in
Aboriginal land rights and native title
law and has appeared in most
landmark native title cases in the High
Court since the Mabo decision on
1992. She is a member of the
Indigenous Legal Issues Committee of
the Law Council of Australia and, in
this capacity, has given evidence to
the Senate Standing Committee on
Legal and Constitutional Affairs on the
recognition of indigenous customary
law on a number of occasions.
