Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada [TRC] identified law schools as a site of ongoing colonization and specifically called upon law schools to change in a variety of ways – from instituting mandatory courses relating to Indigenous Peoples to reconceptualizing the institution of law schools themselves. This article considers whether “Indigenizing” curriculum is coming at the expense of addressing the need to decolonize law schools as institutions. The author argues that both Indigenizing and decolonizing are a vital coupling if full meaning is to be given to the TRC’s Calls to Action. Though the process is complicated and ripe with challenge, listening to and working with Indigenous peoples is essential if law schools really seek fundamental change.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
