This volume explores encounters of laws, people, and places in Australia since 1788, addressing three major themes: the development of Australian settler law, the interaction between settler law and First Nations people, and the possibility of meaningful encounter between First laws and settler legal regimes. It highlights the limited space provided by Australian settler law for respectful encounters and the complexity, plurality, and ambiguity of Australia's legal history.

This groundbreaking volume delves into the intricate intersections of laws, people, and places in Australia since 1788, featuring esteemed contributions from renowned lawyers, historians, and social scientists. Its chapters explore three central themes: the evolution of Australian settler law within the framework of the British Empire, the complex interplay between settler law and First Nations peoples, and the potential for meaningful engagement between First Nations laws and settler legal regimes in Australia. Several chapters examine the constraints imposed by Australian settler law on respectful encounters, particularly in the context of the High Court's heightened concerns regarding the fragility of Australian sovereignty. By tracing the development of a distinctively Australian legal landscape and the diverse contexts that shaped it, this volume aims to unravel the complexity, multiplicity, and ambiguity of Australia's legal history.
