A few years before his untimely death the renowned Indian law scholar Phillip Frickey delivered a lecture citing the “failure of scholarship in federal Indian law to grapple with the law on the ground in Indian country” and encouraged his colleagues to educate a judiciary with little knowledge of Native culture.
This symposium will bring together tribal leaders, jurists, Indian law scholars and practitioners to highlight the challenges facing tribal communities today and to explore ways in which the legal academy can contribute to meeting those challenges.
Symposium agenda and registration details to follow.
