The University of Tromso has released a call for papers for its upcoming international symposium:
Extractive Industries in the North – what about Environmental Law and Indigenous Peoples Rights?
The symposium will be held November 17-19, 2013.
The announcement and call for papers can be found here.
The AALS Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section invites submissions on the topic “The Relationship Between Indian Law and Tribal Law” for the Section’s 2014 AALS conference panel. The American Indian Law Review has agreed to publish selected papers associated with this call (the Law Review of course reserves the final publication decision). Please submit full papers, not just abstracts, to the Section Chair, Ezra Rosser, at erosser@wcl.american.edu, by August 1, 2013. We anticipate interpreting the topic broadly, so please submit if you are doing work related to this year’s topic! The Section Executive Committee (in connection with the Law Review) will inform you if you have been chosen to be on the panel by August 14, 2013 so that you will know in time for the Spring Law Review submission cycle.
THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN invites proposals for articles to be published in a special issue of the journal that examines the historian as expert witness in the adjudication of natural resources in North America, including but not limited to issues surrounding property, water, and mineral rights. Proposals that discuss issues and problems of historical consulting and expert witness testimony across North America (Native American/First Nations, Canada, United States, Mexico) are especially encouraged. For example, a proposed essay might address the nature and scope of your work as a consultant and expert witness, contextualize your recruitment to particular cases, evaluate aspects of your work (deposition, trial testimony, research, and consultation), consider a body of work generated by particular litigation, examine judicial criteria for determining historical expertise on a given subject, identify and evaluate the tensions or challenges of presenting your expertise in litigation, or critically analyze the substance and effect of historical expert witness work on your discipline. Proposals for alternative formats, such as conversations among experts in one field or with attorneys or judges on the claims, composition, and effects of historical expertise on a particular case, will also be welcome. Proposals, which should be no longer than one double-spaced page, should be submitted to The Public Historian at scase@history.ucsb.edu. Deadline for submission is March 1, 2013. Selected authors will be notified by April 1, 2013. Articles will be due by August 1, 2013 and subject to peer review. Publication of the special issue of The Public Historian is expected in 2014 (Volume 36).

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
The American Indian Justice Conference is an annual event that is supported by funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance through the Tribal Court Assistance Program and the Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program.
The 1st Annual American Indian Justice Conference was held in Fort McDowell, AZ and was the culmination of a collaborative planning effort between the Tribal Judicial Institute and Fox Valley Technical College. Due to an overwhelmingly positive response to the past four American Indian Justice Conferences, this year’s partners, the University of North Dakota, Fox Valley Technical College and The National Judicial College, along with the host Tribe are pleased to announce the 5th Annual American Indian Justice Conference. The partners, along with this year’s host Tribe, will hold the event at the Grand Traverse Resort, Acme, MI (10 minutes from the Cherry Capital Airport).
The theme is Wounded Knee 1973 but other topics relating to the Northern Plains Tribes are welcome. More info. is here.
