local, regional and international perspectives
Sponsors:
UBC First Nations Legal Clinic, University of British Columbia, Faculty of Law
Southwest Indian Law Clinic, University of New Mexico School of Law
The Tribal Law Practice Clinic, Washburn University School of Law
Description:
The Symposium is designed to facilitate discussion across doctrinal and clinical theories of Indigenous law and education. The goal is to create a pedagogy and to explore emerging methodologies for teaching how to work and practice in Indigenous communities. We invite an inclusive conversation with all community members who are engaged in Indigenous legal issues.
The Symposium begins with panel discussions on education between Indigenous legal theorists and clinicians and continues by sharing international and local perspectives. This will be followed by presentations from community lawyers and Aboriginal people engaged with current legal issues. The afternoon will conclude with a field trip to the First Nations legal clinic in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, and dinner at a local First Nations restaurant. Saturday morning begins with a breakfast presentation and tour of the Museum of Anthropology, with sessions continuing that focus on sharing clinical practical skills applications, student perspectives, innovations, and works in progress.
Registration Fee, $250.00 covers the entire Program, Museum tour and entrance, local transportation, materials and meals.
