UDub Tribal Code Drafting Workshop

1st Annual Tribal Code Drafting Workshop

Aug. 7–8, 2025

This August, the Native American Law Center (NALC) will hold its first CLE dedicated to drafting, revising and/or amending tribal codes.

The workshop — led by Professor Eric Eberhard, Associate Director of the NALC, alongside NALC Fellow Avey Menard — will provide focused instruction on legislative drafting techniques that focus on the specifics of tribal codes, including their intersection with federal laws, such as the Indian Civil Rights Act, VAWA and federal environmental statutes and their relationship to tribal courts and other governmental forums.

This two-day intensive workshop will provide you with opportunities to draft an amendment to existing law as well as a standalone piece of legislation of your own choosing within a workshop environment. Professor Eberhard and Fellow Menard will be available to review, comment on and discuss all drafts.

The program will only be offered live, and we anticipate 11.75 MCLE credit hours for those who attend the program. Registration costs $275 and attendance is limited to 15 participants. Make sure to reserve your seat now at the link below!
