On October 8-9, 2011, the University of Arizona College of Law’s Indigenous Peoples Law & Policy Program will celebrate its tenth anniversary by hosting a conference and reunion in Tucson, Arizona. The morning of Saturday October 8 will be devoted to a roundtable discussion of what the Academy and Practicing Attorneys can offer each other. Roundtable panelists include Professor Matthew Fletcher (Michigan State University), Professor Angela Riley (UCLA), Lawrence Baca, (U.S. Dept. of Justice (retired)), Christopher Chaney (Deputy Director, Office of Tribal Justice); and Professor Kirsten Matoy Carlson (invited) (Wayne State University).
We will then have a celebratory luncheon featuring a keynote speech by Professor S. James Anaya, who is also the current UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Saturday afternoon will be devoted to panels of alumni who work in a variety of capacities for governments, in private practice, for human rights organizations, and in academia. The Conference itself is free and open to the public, although we do ask that you RSVP so we can ensure adequate seating and materials. Tickets to the luncheon are $20 each.
On Sunday, October 9, we will be having a barbeque from 11:30 am – 2:00pm at the College of Law for alumni and their families.
