Eddie Mabo was a Murray Islander who took his land rights case to the Australian High Court in 1982, arguing that Indigenous people had owned their lands for thousands of years. In 1993, the High Court overturned the doctrine of terra nullius and recognized native title. This recognized that Aboriginal people held rights and interests to their traditional lands prior to European settlement, even if the government had not formally recognized this. The 1996 Wik decision further established that native title could coexist with pastoral leases, allowing Indigenous groups to negotiate land usage with commercial interests like mining and pastoral companies.

Mabo Case Study.pptx
The document provides an overview of the landmark Mabo v Queensland (No 2) case that recognized native title rights of Indigenous Australians. It discusses how the case overturned the doctrine of terra nullius by establishing that Australia was occupied at the time of British settlement, recognizing Indigenous land rights. The case was brought by Eddie Mabo and other Murray Islanders and resulted in the High Court ruling that native title exists if a continuous connection between the Indigenous group and the land can be proven. This established that Indigenous Australians had legal rights to land and impacted laws around native title and recognition of Indigenous land rights.
Theories of Justice
This document summarizes and compares the theories of justice put forth by Robert Nozick and John Rawls. It discusses Nozick's entitlement theory, which believes in minimal state interference and strong private property rights. It then covers Rawls' theory of a just society being one that benefits the least advantaged and ensures fair equality of opportunity through distributive justice. The document concludes by agreeing more with Rawls' view that promotes greater equality over Nozick's defense of free markets and private ownership which can increase inequality.
An overview of native title in Australian land law
This is a sketch of the foundations of Australian land law and how they accommodate native title. The story starts with the foundation of Australian sovereignty, the reception of English law and the way in which native title could be recognised in the Mabo decision.
Eddie Mabo
Eddie Mabo was born in 1936 on Murray Island in Queensland, Australia. As a child, he was raised by his uncle after his mother passed away. As an adult, Mabo fought for over a decade in the High Court of Australia to gain land rights for indigenous people. He worked to prove that the legal doctrine of terra nullius was wrong and that indigenous people had ownership over their traditional lands. Unfortunately, Mabo passed away in 1992 before the final ruling recognizing indigenous land rights, but his work helped establish legal rights for indigenous groups in Australia.
Latin American Wars for Independence
The document summarizes the Latin American wars for independence from Spanish rule in the early 19th century. It describes growing discontent among creoles, mestizos, and mulattos under Spanish rule. It also discusses how the invasion of Spain by Napoleon inspired independence movements. Key leaders like Bolivar and San Martin led revolts across South America, while Hidalgo, Morelos, and Iturbide did so in Mexico. These revolts ultimately led to independence for nations like Mexico, Central American countries, and countries across South America. However, the new nations did not always bring desired social changes.
Life as a Slave
This document provides an overview of the lesson about life as a slave in the 1700-1800s. It discusses the living conditions slaves faced, such as poor quality housing and meager diets. It also describes the various types of difficult jobs slaves were forced to perform on plantations and in homes. The document notes slaves had no control over their lives and were subject to cruel treatment by owners who saw them as property rather than people. The lesson involves note taking and answering a National 5 level question about the usefulness of a source describing the lack of rights and protections for slaves.
Stamp act
The Stamp Act was a tax passed by the British Parliament in 1765 that required American colonists to pay a tax on all printed materials such as newspapers, magazines, and legal documents. The colonists strongly opposed this tax because they were not represented in Parliament and felt it was "taxation without representation". As a result, the colonists organized protests, boycotted British goods, and intimidated tax collectors. Ultimately, the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766 due to colonial opposition.
Land Rights Summary
- Aboriginal belief systems view land as sacred and linked to their ancestral spirits and identity. The land is seen as the dwelling place of elders and Aboriginal people feel a responsibility to care for it.
- Several key events advanced Aboriginal land rights and recognition, including the 1938 Day of Mourning, the 1946 Pilbara Strike, the Wave Hill Walk-off in 1966, and the Mabo decision in 1992 which overturned the doctrine of terra nullius.
- The Native Title Act of 1993 was passed to recognize native title under the common law in the wake of Mabo, though successfully claiming native title remains difficult for Aboriginal groups.

The history of native american reservations pp
Native American reservations were created for several reasons, including to control Native American tribes and force assimilation. The Dawes Act of 1887 broke up tribal lands and opened reservations to settlement. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 reversed this policy and increased tribal sovereignty, but reservations still face many social and economic problems today.
3b How English Law Affected Indigenous Australians
The document summarizes how English law affected Indigenous Australians after British settlement. It describes that Indigenous Australians had their own complex customary legal system and organized into family groups with responsibilities over traditional lands. When Britain claimed Australia in 1788, English law was applied without recognition of Aboriginal law or negotiation. As a result, Indigenous Australians lost ownership of their lands overnight and were subject to English laws they did not understand or recognize. This had immense negative impacts as they became trespassers on their own lands and were punished under foreign laws.
Slavery and abolition movement in USA
Slavery began in America in 1619 and spread throughout the colonies, where African slaves helped build the nation's economic foundations. By the 18th century, millions of slaves had been imported from Africa. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 cemented the importance of slavery to the Southern economy. Most slaves lived on plantations and were subject to oppressive laws that prohibited education and tightly controlled their lives. The abolitionist movement gained strength in the 1830s-1860s, led by activists like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The American Civil War erupted over slavery and states' rights, ultimately leading to emancipation through Lincoln's 1863 proclamation and the 13th Amendment in 1865. However
Law of tort in pakistan
The document discusses the scope and application of tort law in Pakistan. It begins with definitions of tort from legal scholars such as being a civil wrong for which the remedy is damages. It discusses the main principles of justice, equity and good conscience. The major topics of tort law are outlined, including types of torts (negligence, trespass, nuisance, defamation, conversion), remedies, vicarious liability, issues at the borderline of tort, and maxims in tort. Landmark cases that helped develop tort law principles are also summarized, such as Donoghue v Stevenson which established the duty of care in negligence cases.
Brown vs. Board of Education
Brown vs. Board of Education was a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. Oliver Brown filed a lawsuit after his daughter Linda was denied enrollment in her local white school. Thurgood Marshall served as the chief attorney arguing that racial segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and overturned the 1896 Plessy vs. Ferguson decision that allowed racial segregation. This ruling marked a major victory for the civil rights movement and required schools to integrate.

The Rise of Big Business
Industrialization in the late 19th century was driven by technological innovations like the steam engine and railroads, which fueled other industries and opened up the Western United States to development. Inventors like Edison and Bell introduced revolutionary new technologies and mass production techniques like the assembly line standardized work. This period saw the rise of large corporations and trusts that dominated entire industries, led by powerful businessmen dubbed "robber barons" like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan. While industrialization increased overall wealth and living standards, it also led to the concentration of economic and political power in the hands of a few.

Lecture 16 introduction to equity
This document provides an overview of equity law and equitable remedies. It defines equity as fairness or natural justice that supplements common law rules. Historically, equity was administered separately in the Court of Chancery, but the Judicature Acts merged law and equity into a single court system. Equitable remedies include specific performance and promissory estoppel. The document discusses the Central London Property Trust v High Trees House case that established promissory estoppel and the "shield not sword" principle. Learning outcomes cover understanding equity, remedies, and applying principles from cases.
Causes for American Revolution
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Revolution, including the Proclamation of 1763, various taxation acts passed by the British Parliament such as the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Acts, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts. It provides context for colonists' responses to these acts and events, increasing tensions between the colonies and Britain that ultimately led to the American Revolution.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in 1811 in Connecticut and grew up in a religious family. She moved to Cincinnati to teach and met her future husband there. Stowe published the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852, which depicted the harsh reality of slavery and became immensely popular. The book is believed to have contributed to the outbreak of the American Civil War. Stowe lived until 1896, becoming a prominent abolitionist through her writing.

Role of icj in solving internation dispute
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) helps resolve international disputes through binding judgments. It is the primary judicial branch of the United Nations, composed of 15 judges elected by the UN General Assembly and Security Council. Only states can bring cases to the ICJ, and its jurisdiction is based on state consent. One example is the 1986 case of Nicaragua v. United States, where the ICJ ruled the US violated international law by supporting Contra rebels against Nicaragua's government. While the decision was binding, the US refused to participate and blocked its enforcement, showing the limited power of the ICJ without state cooperation.
Us neutrality in the 1930’s
The Neutrality Acts of the 1930s were passed by the US to remain isolationist and avoid involvement in World War II. They banned arms trade and loans to belligerent nations. Later acts established a "cash and carry" system and included civil wars. The Lend-Lease Act of 1941 ended neutrality by allowing the US to support allies. The US also instituted the draft and established naval bases in Britain in moves away from isolationism prior to entering the war in 1941.
Women's Civil Rights Turning Points
This document summarizes key events and developments in the advancement of women's civil rights in America from the 19th century to the 1990s. It outlines several important court cases and legislation that helped establish women's rights, such as Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion and the 19th amendment granting women's suffrage. It also discusses the growth of feminist movements and organizations that campaigned for women's equality and rights in the workplace, politics, and over their own bodies. Social and economic changes like the two world wars and industrialization brought more women into the workforce but attitudes were still largely traditional in viewing women's primary role as wives and mothers.

International Law i week four
This document discusses the relationship between international law (IL) and municipal law from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Theoretically, there are two main views: dualism, which sees IL and municipal law as separate systems, and monism, which sees them as part of the same legal order. Practically, conflicts can arise when the two regulate the same subject and courts must decide whether to apply IL or municipal law. The document also examines how different countries, including the UK and Malaysia, approach the incorporation or transformation of IL into their municipal legal systems through legislation, judicial decisions, and constitutional frameworks.
Donoghue v Stevenson
Donoghue v Stevenson was a 1932 case that established the tort of negligence in UK law. It involved a woman named Donoghue who became ill after drinking ginger beer that contained a decomposing snail, allegedly due to negligence by the manufacturer Stevenson. Donoghue sued Stevenson, arguing he breached his duty of care towards consumers. The judge ruled in favor of Donoghue, finding manufacturers responsible for ensuring consumer safety even without a direct contract, establishing the "neighbor principle" of duty of care in tort law.

Ch. 32
The document discusses the history of Aboriginal land claims in Australia. It describes how Aboriginal people lost their land after European settlement, as the Europeans did not recognize Aboriginal land ownership and claimed the land as empty under the doctrine of Terra Nullius. Additionally, from 1909 to 1969, the Australian government took around 100,000 mixed-race Aboriginal children from their families in a policy of forced assimilation known as the Stolen Generation. Later land rights laws and court cases like Mabo and Wik have helped overturn the doctrine of Terra Nullius and allow some Aboriginal land claims, though these groups still face challenges in having their land ownership recognized.
Dougy background and context
This document provides background information on several topics relating to Australian Indigenous history, including:
- Pre-arrival - Indigenous Australians lived across the continent in many communities prior to European arrival.
- 1788 - The arrival of the First Fleet led to initial confusion and misunderstanding between Indigenous Australians and British settlers.
- The Stolen Generations - Between 1910-1970, government policies led to many Indigenous children being forcibly removed from their families, causing lasting trauma.
- The Mabo Decision - A 1992 High Court case that recognized Indigenous land rights, overturning the idea that Australia was terra nullius at colonization.
- The Apology - In 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered a national apology to the St
Law Reform in Action - Native Title
The document summarizes the history of government policy and legal decisions regarding native title in Australia. It discusses how indigenous land rights were initially denied under the doctrine of terra nullius. Key court cases like Mabo v Queensland and Wik overturned this concept and recognized native title. Legislation like the Native Title Act aimed to establish a framework for native title claims, though balancing indigenous rights with other land interests has remained challenging. The legal system and law reform have played an important but imperfect role in recognizing indigenous land rights.

Europeancolonizationofaustralia 090422080930-phpapp02
The document summarizes the history of European exploration and settlement of Australia, beginning with the Dutch in 1606. It then discusses British exploration under Captain Cook in 1770 and the establishment of a penal colony in New South Wales in 1788, using British prisoners. Over time, free settlers also arrived and colonies were established. Racist policies like the White Australia policy were eventually dismantled and today Australia has a diverse population from around the world. The impact on indigenous Aboriginal peoples is also addressed, from the loss of their lands and culture to recent recognition of their rights.
Historical context of post – colonial new zealand
The document discusses the historical context of post-colonial New Zealand, including the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840 between Maori chiefs and the British Crown. It outlines key events such as the ancient discovery of New Zealand, the arrival of the first Maori settlers around 1250-1300 AD, European discovery of New Zealand in the 17th-18th centuries, and the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Issues arose from differing interpretations of the Treaty and it has continued to impact race relations and politics in New Zealand. The effects of post-colonialism are still evident today through the merging of European and Maori cultures into a hybrid New Zealand identity.
European colonization-of-australia
The document provides a history of European exploration and settlement of Australia. It begins with the Dutch discovering Australia in 1606 but abandoning further exploration after being attacked. The British took greater interest in the late 1700s, with Captain Cook claiming the land for Britain in 1770. Britain subsequently began transporting prisoners to Australia in 1787 to establish a penal colony at New South Wales. Through the 1800s, Australia developed as a British colony with the influx of both prisoners and free settlers, eventually becoming the independent Commonwealth of Australia in 1901.
Canadian aboriginal issues
The document summarizes some key issues and events in Canadian Aboriginal history:
- The 1876 Indian Act assimilated Aboriginal people and placed them under government control on reserves. Residential schools operated from the 1870s-1980s and suppressed Indigenous culture and language.
- The 1969 White Paper proposed eliminating special status for Aboriginal people. This was opposed by Indigenous groups and led to increased activism.
- The 1973 Calder case recognized Aboriginal title. This initiated a comprehensive land claims process.
- The Berger Commission in 1974-1977 halted the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline due to environmental and Indigenous land rights concerns.
- The 1990 Oka crisis saw violent clashes over a land claim in Quebec and precipitated
Australia history
The Dutch were the first Europeans to explore Australia in 1606 but did not establish settlements. In 1770, Captain Cook claimed Australia for Britain and mapped parts of the eastern coast. In 1787, the British began transporting convicts to Australia to establish a penal colony in New South Wales. By 1868, Britain had transported thousands of prisoners to Australian penal colonies. Australia developed a "White Australia" immigration policy in 1901 that restricted non-European migration until it was dismantled after World War 2. Aboriginal Australians faced displacement and discrimination from European settlers for many decades.

In 1787, the British began transporting convicts to Australia to establish a penal colony in New South Wales. Throughout the 1800s, Britain continued sending convicts to Australian penal colonies while also allowing free settlers to establish farms and businesses. In 1901, the British colonies in Australia formed the self-governing Commonwealth of Australia.
British exploration, colonization, & independence
Lieutenant James Cook explored Australia's east coast in 1770 and claimed it for Britain. Due to overcrowded prisons, Britain established the first penal colony in Australia in 1788. Over time, British settlers took land from Aboriginal people, spreading disease and conflict. The British assimilation policies devastated Aboriginal culture and population. By 1901, Australia became a self-governing British dominion, gaining full independence over time.
National Reconciliation Week 2012 - timeline of reconciliation events
The document outlines key events in the reconciliation timeline between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the British/Australian governments from 1770 to present day, including British declaration of terra nullius, formation of Commonwealth of Australia, granting of citizenship and voting rights, the 1967 referendum, Mabo decision, Bringing Them Home report, the National Sorry Day, and Prime Minister Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations. It discusses ongoing calls for constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Early european relationships
Early settlers like John Batman viewed the land as a resource to exploit for economic gain rather than something inhabited and valued by Indigenous groups. His purchase of land from the Wurundjeri people established a precedent of terra nullius that paved the way for further settlement and industrialization. Industrialization depended on abundant, cheap resources and led to massive environmental impacts as settlers overharvested seals, whales, trees and grazed livestock unsustainably, driving many species to extinction locally and changing ecosystems irreparably.

Lecture slide
The document discusses the Australian legal system, including the main sources of law and the role of courts. It focuses on case law (common law) and how precedent is developed through judicial decisions. A key case discussed is Donoghue v Stevenson, which established the neighbour principle of duty of care in tort law. The summary establishes that case law is developed through judicial precedent where higher courts can overrule and distinguish previous decisions of lower courts to develop legal principles over time.
Sri inai
The Sessions Court found both defendants equally liable for the deaths and injuries caused by a fire at a hostel for school children. The High Court overturned this on appeal, finding that the second defendant (the local authority that owned the building) owed no duty of care as a matter of law, either as a landlord or in its capacity as a local authority. It held that under the applicable common law as of 1956, a landlord is not liable for dangers existing on leased premises. The plaintiffs now appeal to the Federal Court seeking to reinstate the Sessions Court's finding of liability against both defendants.
Lesson of highland towers
The document summarizes the key findings and lessons from a court case regarding the 1993 collapse of Block 1 of Highland Towers apartments in Malaysia.

Jika seseorang memakan makanan haram karena terpaksa, maka tidak akan berdosa asalkan tidak melampaui batas.
Defence of necessity
This document discusses and analyzes the legal defense of necessity in response to the quote "Necessity is never a defence to murder." It summarizes the leading case of Dudley and Stephens (1884) where necessity was not accepted as a defense for murder. It argues that the word "never" is too absolute given that future circumstances may warrant allowing necessity as a defense. It provides a hypothetical example where necessity would be a valid defense to save many lives at the cost of one. The document concludes that judges should consider necessity defenses on a case-by-case basis rather than having an absolute rule.
Defence of insanity
The document discusses insanity as a defense in criminal law. It provides definitions and explanations of insanity from legal and medical perspectives. The key points are:
1) Insanity in criminal law refers to a mental disorder that impairs reasoning such that the person did not understand the nature of their act or that it was wrong. Medically, insanity refers more broadly to any mental abnormality.
2) English law on insanity is based on the M'Naghten Rules, which provide a cognitive test focusing on whether the person knew the nature and quality of their act and that it was wrong.
3) To claim the insanity defense, the law requires proof of a disease of the
