ABSTRACT This paper is about Spaces of Justice and the role the Neighbourhood Justice Centre (Collingwood, Victoria) plays in providing a safe space for Community Justice to be carried out. It is based on the reflections the author provided at the Space of Justice symposium in Melbourne in July 2017, about access to justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities who gather in the local government area of Yarra. The author relates her feeling of removal from Country in reading and navigating the space of urban environment and highlights the importance of the kind of ‘gathering place’ that the Neighbourhood Justice Centre can become for those who similarly must navigate alienating colonial power and court spaces. In doing so, she demonstrates the possibilities for a court building to become the anchor of a community, rather than a punitive space of (in)justice.

对邻里司法中心的设计、国家和社区正义的思考

摘要 本文是关于正义空间以及邻里正义中心（维多利亚州科林伍德）在为社区正义提供安全空间方面所发挥的作用。它基于作者在 2017 年 7 月墨尔本正义空间研讨会上提供的关于聚集在亚拉地方政府区域的土著和托雷斯海峡岛民社区获得司法救助的思考。作者讲述了她在阅读和导航城市环境空间时远离乡村的感觉，并强调了邻里司法中心可以成为那些同样必须导航疏远殖民权力和法庭空间的人的“聚会场所”的重要性。通过这样做，她展示了法院大楼成为社区支柱的可能性，
