Turtle Talk

Please Join the Tribal Supreme Court Project for the Webinar, “Indian Country, the Supreme Court, and the Long Conference” – Monday, September 25, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern

On September 25, the United States Supreme Court will hold its “long conference” where the justices consider all of the petitions for certiorari that have gathered during the summer recess. This effort will set much of the docket for the coming term. There are a number of petitions on matters in federal Indian law.

The Tribal Supreme Court Project will hold a webinar on September 25 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) to review these pending certiorari petitions and discuss the importance of the certiorari process.

The webinar will:

Provide an overview of how the certiorari process works;

Review both the granted and pending cert cases that affect issues in federal Indian law, with brief discussions by the attorneys representing tribal governments; and

Review the principles of the Tribal Supreme Court Project and discuss how tribes can work together to improve our odds of success before the United States Supreme Court.
