1:00-2:30 Native Judges’ Perspectives on Tribal Advocacy | 1.5 credits
Moderator: Wenona Singel (Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians), Director, Indigenous Law and Policy Center, Michigan State University College of Law

Native judges who work in state and federal courts have a unique insider’s perspective on judicial review of litigation before the courts. This panel will give Native judges an opportunity to share that insiders’ perspective to strengthen tribal advocacy. The panel will also include members of the judiciary who previously worked as tribal in-house counsel. These judges will share their thoughts on tribal advocacy before the courts based on their prior work as tribal attorneys and their current work as state and federal court judges.
