Abstract

This article examines the utility of bringing an Indigenous cultural safety lens to clinical legal education. It describes a legal clinic in Logan, Queensland, variously called the Culturally Safe Criminal Law Practice and the Cultural Immersion Clinic. The clinic has run for five years and is a three-way collaboration between The University of Queensland (UQ) School of Law (through its Pro Bono Centre), Bond
University Faculty of Law and YFS Legal, a community legal centre located in Woodridge in the city of Logan, on the southern outskirts of Brisbane, roughly equidistant between UQ and Bond University campuses.
