Subject: Law&Society roundtable

Dear Prof. McMillan

Law & Society has called for proposals for its 2014 meeting in Minneapolis. I am responding with a proposed roundtable on tribal justice. At the outset of the roundtable there would be showing of a 10-minute video presenting the essence of a docuentary on which I am currently working. The roundtable requires 4 participants and I am writing to you with a request for names and contact  information for Law  & Society members of the CRN on Law and Indigeneity.

The documenary is  featuring  the innovative work of the chief justices in the two largest tribes in California: Yurok in the northwest and Quechan in the southeast.  I am attaching a one page description of the documentary in progress.   

Each of the judges is working to bring traditional cultural values back into her courtroom, and to partner with state court judges..  The project has progressed sufficiently for me to be confident that we will have a good—no, an outstanding--  ten-minute video which I would like to show at the 2014 Law and Society meeting in Minneapolis. The video would serve to initiate a discussion. The film calls for comments about the Federal jurisdictional constraints on the courts; about each judges’ efforts to develop a judicial system, to rebuild a nation and to counteract the ravages of history; restorative justice ; and much more.  

I am certain the roundtable will be of interest to CRN participants.

 

I look forward to your reply.

Dear Jane--I would be glad to participate.  My contact information is below.  Congratulations on the video--ever since I got into this business I've been thinking I should figure out a way to make a video on tribal courts--maybe I'll use yours as a model (for the project that I still will probably never complete!).  Bethany
