Felix S. Cohen Panel at MSU Law College March 28
Our mini-symposium on “Felix Cohen’s Indian Law Legacy” will be held next Friday, March 28, 2008, starting at 11AM in the Castle Boardroom at the law college. Our speakers include Sam Deloria, Christian McMillen, Riyaz Kanji, Sam Hirsch, and Bethany Berger.
We will be celebrating the recent publication of three books: (1) Cohen’s Handbook of Federal Indian Law; (2) Christian McMillen’s “Making Indian Law: The Hualapai Land Case and the Birth of Ethnohistory“; and (3) Dalia Tsuk Mitchell‘s “Architect of Justice: Felix S. Cohen and the Founding of American Legal Pluralism.” Unfortunately, Prof. Tsuk Mitchell can’t make the conference.
A fourth book, edited by David E. Wilkins, “On the Drafting of Tribal Constitutions,” was recently published by the University of Oklahoma Press — a little too late for our planning.
This panel is funded in part by the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Dalia Tsuk Mitchell’s Book on Felix Cohen Wins National Award
From Legal History Blog:
The 
Littleton-Griswold Prize for the best book in American law and society will be awarded to Dalia Tsuk Mitchell for Architect of Justice: Felix S. Cohen and the Founding of American Legal Pluralism (Cornell Univ. Press, 2006) at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association in January.
We will be hosting Prof. Tsuk Mitchell at the Center this spring to discuss her book, along with Sam Hirsch of Jenner & Block, Riyaz Kanji of Kanji & Katzen, Christian McMillen of the University of Virginia, and Sam Deloria of the American Indian Graduate Center. That day’s panels will be discussing the legacy of Felix S. Cohen.
