CALL FOR PAPERS
Tribal Nation Economics and Legal Infrastructure
This call for papers seeks submissions for the AALS Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section’s 2010 publication of selected papers. The Section will meet during the American Association of Law School’s Annual Conference on January 8th, 2010. The Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section Meeting will focus on “Tribal Nation Economics and Legal Infrastructure.” The Washburn Law Journal will be publishing the papers on this topic accepted for publication.
The papers should address the themes of Tribal Nation economics and law. Law and economics are intertwined fields. As Tribal Nations rebuild economies in the wake of failed federal policies, legal infrastructure promoting a climate of healthy economics has become vitally important. Subject areas for papers include topics on contemporary reservation economies, successful practices in tribal commercial law, assessing federal economic incentives for Tribes, legal code development to facilitate economic opportunities, evaluation of the tribal corporate model, creative thinking regarding tribal economic development in the era of federal Indian self-determination, review of sustainable tribal economic strategies, and related topics along these lines.
Abstracts for the papers should be sent by Friday, October 2nd, 2009 to Angelique EagleWoman at (eaglewoman@uidaho.edu). Abstracts should be no longer than two pages.
