Who Should Attend

Attorneys who have Indian clients; attorneys whose clients deal with Indians or with tribal governments; persons with an interest in the current issues within Washington’s Indian country will benefit from attend-ing this symposium. Tribal leaders and members of the public are welcome to the program.

About the Program

This year’s conference is dedicated to the David H. Getches, the late Dean of the University of Colorado School of Law, founding director of the Native American Rights Fund, key early attorney in United States v. Washington and friend and supporter of the UW Indian law program and mentor to many in the Northwest.

As usual, the conference includes comprehensive litigation and legislation updates and a number of topics of interest to a broad array of practitioners. This year’s program covers the legal and political history of the Elwha Dam removal project, Public Law 280 issues, implementation of the Clean Air Act in Indian country, and a panel dealing with important aspects of law affecting individual tribal members.
