Course Description:
The decolonization of law requires engagement with indigenous legal
orders. However, the more we learn, the more we discover the tension
between them and the settler/Canadian legal system. These two kinds of legal systems are not only different, but also are often contradictory in their deepest commitments and values, underlying structures, and the legal principles that arise therefrom. From this position, it follows that bringing indigenous law into the settler legal system is not a project of decolonization. What use, then, can meaningfully be made of indigenous legal orders in a settler legal practice? This course confronts that question directly. Beginning with a historic overview of how Indigenous law has been engaged by judges in Canadian legal decisions, it will engage legal ethics, professional responsibility and the experience of practitioners to provide an answer to the use of indigenous law in a settler legal practice.

TQR: At a minimum, a first degree in law. Several years of significant practice or professional experience, in the relevant area; Experience in teaching undergraduate law students in a bilingual setting
