Further proposed reforms are under consideration. This article reviews recent and proposed reforms and analyses empirical data on class action settlements in Australia. The second part, to be published in the next issue, examines class actions in Canada and the United States along with other reforms that would assist in achieving the policy goal of reducing transaction costs and maximising the return to class members.<\/p>\n Click here to access article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n Movement Lawyering: An Old Ethos and New Theory for First Nations\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Sovereignty<\/em><\/strong><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Lilian Burgess, Giulia Marrama and Suvradip Maitra<\/p>\n Movement lawyering is a new theory but an old practice that involves lawyers aligning with a movement and contributing their unique legal skills to a cause. Consistent with movement lawyering theory we adopt the recognition of pragmatic sovereignty as the overarching goal of a First Nations movement, proposing the creation of space as its strategy. We canvass aspects of the legal landscape as it currently impacts Australia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s First Nations Peoples and propose discrete tactics aimed at furthering pragmatic sovereignty within the purview of native title, traditional knowledge and the criminal justice system. While discrete, we recognise that the tactics identified in each area of law are applicable across domains. We hope our work can assist in providing a framework for Australian lawyers to optimise their contributions to the modern First Nations sovereignty movement.<\/p>\n Click here to access article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n For the PDF version of the table of contents, click here: Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 96 No 7 Contents<\/a> or here: New Westlaw Australia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 96 No 7 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n\n
