摘要

在这篇短文中,我们报道了2017年举行的一次新颖的咨询活动。52名土著和非土著法律学者在墨尔本召开会议,起草并颁布澳大利亚各地法学院应遵循的标准,以提高土著文化能力。咨询采取了小型公众的一般形式。小型公众是一个决策机构,其成员是从更广泛的公众中随机选择的,但在人口统计学上具有代表性。小型公众的公共决策现在已成为惯例。然而,我们的是一个独特的变化,因为小型公众声称代表的不是司法管辖区的整个公众,而是司法管辖区内的特定专业阶层——在本案中是澳大利亚的法律学者。我们召集了这个法律学者的小型公众,以使颁布的法学院课程文化能力准则具有更大的合法性。文章探讨了咨询的内容,重点是其对提高法律教学的广度、内容和质量的建议,因为它涉及土著人民的生活。然而,最重要的是,这篇文章评估了小型公众的独特用途,以代表一个不同寻常的小型和受过高等正规教育的公众。在这里,我们通常依赖于我们自己对新颖的协商过程及其方法的定性观察。

A Mini-public of Academics: Experimenting with Deliberative Democracy and Indigenous Cultural Competency in Legal Education
In this short article we report on a novel consultation event held in 2017. Fifty-two Indigenous and non-Indigenous legal academics convened in Melbourne to draft and promulgate standards to be followed by law schools across Australia for promoting Indigenous cultural competency. The consultation took the general form of a mini-public. A mini-public is a decision-making body whose members are randomly selected from – but demographically representative of – a broader public. Public decision-making by mini-publics is now routine. Yet ours was a distinctive variation, in that the mini-public purported to represent not the whole public of a jurisdiction, but only a particular professional class within it – in this case legal academics in Australia. We convened this mini-public of legal academics in order to give greater legitimacy to the promulgated guidelines for cultural competency in law school curricula. The article explores the content of the consultation, centring on its suggestions for improved breadth, content and quality of legal teaching, as it touches the lives of Indigenous people. Most of all, however, the article assesses the unique use of a mini-public to represent an unusually small and highly formally educated public. We generally rely here on our own qualitative observations about the novel consultative process and its methods.
