Murri Courts are a specialist criminal law practice that includes Elders and respected  persons of the local Community Justice Group in the sentencing of Aboriginal and  Torres Strait Islander defendants. Drawing on an ethnographic study of two southeast  Queensland Murri Courts, this article explores the impact of State ordered out-ofhome care on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander defendants and their children. We  show how Community Justice Groups and specialist courts help to address the intergenerational impacts of child protection interventions. The rights of Australian Indigenous peoples to enjoy, maintain, control, protect and develop their kinship ties is  recognised under the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) and international human rights  treaties. We suggest that policymakers and legislators should better recognise and support Community Justice Groups and specialist courts as they provide an important  avenue for implementing the rights of Australian Indigenous peoples to recover and  maintain their kinship ties.
