Prof. Wenona Singel has organized a panel of tribal court judges for this year’s Michigan Indian Day at MSU’s Kellogg Center (happening today!). The panel is titled, “Developing Tribal Courts in Harmony with Culture & Tradition.”
The panel includes the female judges sitting on the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians judiciary. The panel includes Chief Judge JoAnne Gasco (GTB), Associate Judge Jenny Kronk (SSM), and Appellate Justice Rita Shephard (LTBB). Prof. Singel is also the chief appellate justice and an LTBB member and she will be moderating this panel.
