It was not until the 1970s that individuals such as Mullanjeiwaka, Dr Pat O'Shane and Judge Bob Bellear became the first generation of Indigenous lawyers. Over six hundred Indigenous people have since followed in their footsteps. Today, Indigenous lawyers pursue test cases for the victims of stolen wages practices, represent native title claimants, and are leading the conversation on the proposed Indigenous Voice to the Parliament. Despite such contributions, the stories of Indigenous lawyers have been overlooked by scholars. In an Australian first, the project will gather the life stories of Indigenous lawyers. It will generate new knowledge about their career motivations, and how they are changing law and the legal profession.

直到20世纪70年代，Mullanjeiwaka，Pat O'Shane博士和Bob Bellear法官等个人才成为第一代土著律师。 此后，超过600名原住民追随了他们的脚步。 今天，土著律师为被盗工资做法的受害者寻求测试案例，代表土著产权索赔人，并领导关于拟议的土著之声的对话。 尽管有这些贡献，土著律师的故事一直被学者忽视。 作为澳大利亚的第一个项目，该项目将收集土著律师的生活故事。 它将产生关于他们的职业动机的新知识，以及他们如何改变法律和法律的职业。
