Brief Description: 

The course — led by Professor Eric Eberhard, Associate Director of the NALC, and NALC Fellow Avey Menard — will focus on legislative drafting techniques to strengthen and build upon your preexisting knowledge and experience in drafting tribal codes. The program will benefit practitioners who have a working understanding of the canons of statutory interpretation. The two-day workshop will provide you with the opportunity to draft code provisions that incorporate standards established in federal law to address the problems of trespass on tribal lands and consent.

The program will only be offered live and in-person. For Washington state attorneys, the UW School of Law will submit your attendance to the WSBA for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit after a post-event survey is completed. We anticipate a minimum of 11 MCLE credit hours for those who attend the full program. Registration costs $275 and attendance is limited to 15 participants.
