Reminder: AALS Indian Nations & Indigenous Peoples Call for Papers on Same-Sex Marriage & LGBT Families

The deadline is coming up 9/1. Please submit if you have a qualifying research project and also feel free to share widely:

The Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section of the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) invites paper proposals on the following topic. How do Indian Tribes, First Nations, and other Indigenous Peoples regulate same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships, and adoption and foster parenting by same-sex couples and LGBT individuals? What role does evidence of Tribal culture and tradition, if any, play in these decisions? Additionally, what are the processes by which Tribes change their laws with respect to same-sex relationships? More broadly, we are interested in the ways in which Tribes, First Nations and other Indigenous Peoples regulate sexuality and family structure.

Please send proposals of 500 to 1000 words summarizing a paper or work-in-progress you would present on an AALS panel on these issues. The selected panelists will be invited to present their work in a joint program of the Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples and the Law and Anthropology Section, which will be co-sponsored by the Family Law Section. The Program will be held at the AALS Annual Meeting, January 6-10, 2016. Selected papers will be published in the William Mitchell Law Review. Please submit your proposal on or before September 1, 2015 to Michalyn Steele, Chair-Elect, at steelem@law.byu.edu. Questions can also be directed to Ann Tweedy, Chair.

American Indian Law Journal at Seattle Univ. Law Call For Papers

The American Indian Law Journal at Seattle University is seeking content

My name is Jillian Held and I am the Content Editor for the American Indian Law Journal at Seattle University. The American Indian Law Journal is a fairly new academic journal. In an effort to fill a critical gap in the amount of current information available to those interested in the rapidly developing field of Indian law, the Journal employs an innovative online format. Containing a hybrid of shorter, timelier articles, published in parallel with legal developments in the field, as well as traditional, lengthier journal articles analyzing larger topics, the Journal appeals to a broad range of readers.

The Editorial Board is seeking content. This is a formal publication and will be available to practitioners, professors, students, and the general public across the country. If you are interested in providing content please submit articles to me by email. We do have a very limited number of slots open for our Spring 2015 edition, so if you are interested in submitting an article for Spring please email me your articles as soon as possible.

My email is heldj@seattleu.edu.
