Berkeley Law School Symposium on Legacy of Phil Frickey — Sept. 2012
A few years before his untimely death the renowned Indian law scholar Phillip Frickey delivered a lecture citing the “failure of scholarship in federal Indian law to grapple with the law on the ground in Indian country” and encouraged his colleagues to educate a judiciary with little knowledge of Native culture.
This symposium will bring together tribal leaders, jurists, Indian law scholars and practitioners to highlight the challenges facing tribal communities today and to explore ways in which the legal academy can contribute to meeting those challenges.

Fletcher on NAICJA/Getches’ “Indian Courts and the Future”
I posted my University of Colorado Law Review symposium paper, “Indian Courts and Fundamental Fairness: Indian Courts and the Future Revisited.” Here is the abstract:
This paper comes out of the University of Colorado Law Review’s symposium issue honoring the late Dean David H. Getches. It begins with Dean Getches’ framework for analyzing Indian courts. I revisit Indian Courts and the Future, the 1978 report drafted by Dean Getches, and the historic context of the report. I compare the 1978 findings to the current state of Indian courts in America. The paper focuses on the ability of Indian courts to successfully guarantee fundamental fairness in the form of due process and the equal protection of the law for individuals under tribal government authority is uniquely tied to the legal infrastructure available to the courts. Congress tried to provide the basic framework in the Indian Civil Rights Act, and many of the most successful tribal justice systems have borrowed from ICRA or developed their own indigenous structure to guarantee due process and equal protection. I argue that ICRA is declining in importance as Indian tribes domesticate federal constitutional guarantees by adopting their own structures to guarantee fundamental fairness.
The Colorado Law Library recently archived Indian Courts and the Future and its two appendices (here and here). Check them out. The Indian law portion of the symposium is here.

Final Reminder for Minnesota American Indian Bar Association Annual Meeting THIS FRIDAY
Here is the agenda:
Keynote speaker is Patrice Kunesh, and featured speakers include Tracy Toulou, Andrew Adams III, Colette Routel, and Hon. Korey Wahwassuck.
I was going to be there as well, but I will be testifying before the Senate Committee Thursday and couldn’t find a way back to Minnesota. I will be there in spirit, however. This is a remarkable conference and group. We wish we had something like this in Michigan.
