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 法官等人才成为第一代原住民律师。 此后，已有六百多名原住民追随他们的脚步。 如今，原住民律师为工资被盗行为的受害者追查案件，代表原住民土地权索赔人，并在议会就拟议的原住民之声进行对话。 尽管做出了这些贡献，土著律师的故事却被学者们忽视了。 该项目将收集原住民律师的生活故事，这在澳大利亚尚属首次。 它将产生关于他们的职业动机以及他们如何改变法律和法律职业的新知识。
