Finding Justice From Courtroom to Country

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A revelatory exploration of how law and lore can co-exist, from the bestselling author of After Story.

Larissa Behrendt has lived an extraordinary career - as a legal academic, author and filmmaker - that has allowed her to move between courtrooms and Country to explore what real justice means, and what it might yet become.

In this ground-breaking work that is part philosophical meditation and part historical reckoning, Behrendt weaves together personal reflection, Indigenous knowledge and decades of legal experience to illuminate a deeper truth about Australia: that more than one way of understanding law, justice and responsibility has always existed.

With quiet authority, Behrendt considers how First Nations' Practices of Sovereignty - grounded in self-determination, reciprocity and collective care - have succeeded within communities.

Clear-eyed, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful, Finding Justice is a profound invitation: to rethink power and policy, expand our understanding of justice and achieve genuine transformation.
