Since 1981 the Indigenous Law Bulletin has provided Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers from diverse personal and professional backgrounds with quality commentary on the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the law.

The Aboriginal Law Bulletin was born in 1981 as one of the first projects of the Aboriginal Law Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. The Centre became the Aboriginal Law Centre in 1986 and the Indigenous Law Centre in 1997. In August 2006, the ILB celebrated its 25th Anniversary.

The ILB remains a publication of the Indigenous Law Centre. Financial support for the ILB is provided by the Commonwealth Government of Australia. In addition, the Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales provides in-kind support.

The ILB is a leading journal for accessible, accurate and timely information about Australia's Indigenous peoples and the law. A valuable resource to legal practitioners, advocates, policy-makers and researchers, our content covers emerging legislation, policy, case law, international developments as well as grass-root activism and the work of Indigenous communities and organisations. Some of the issues covered by the ILB are:

• native title
• land rights
• treaties
• sovereignty
• corrections and imprisonment
• stolen generations
• criminal justice
• discrimination
• human rights
• intellectual property
• cultural and heritage issues
• biodiversity and biopiracy
• international and comparative law

A major aim of the ILB is to provide avenues for Indigenous people to inform debate on contemporary legal issues. It also provides a public forum for continuing dialogue on the legal and social injustices Indigenous peoples face in pursuit of the full realisation of their rights in Australia and throughout the world.

In addition to publishing articles the ILB supports and promotes Indigenous art by identifying new and emerging artists through TAFEs, art colleges, galleries, universities and secondary schools. Artwork is reproduced in full colour on the cover and we include up to seven artworks in black & white inside the magazine. Artworks are not used illustratively in the ILB but stand alone as a distinct feature of the magazine.
