Tribal Law & Government


Robert N. Clinton


The seminar in Tribal Law & Government is usually a full year seminar devoted to analysis of  particular problems in tribal law. Frequently, the seminar is organized around the drafting of proposed tribal legislative or rules changes studied during the course of the year. Students do all background research, field work, legislative or other drafting, and other work associated with the preparation of the materials for the year.

The work products from prior seminar sessions are posted below. Anyone with suggestions for topics for future seminars should email them to Robert N. Clinton.
