WEBINAR EXPLAINING THE AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBAL LAW AND ORDER ACT

WILL BE HOSTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA COLLEGE OF LAW AND CONCORD LAW SCHOOL

The “Tribal Law and Order Act” will be the topic of an upcoming webinar jointly hosted by The University of Tulsa College of Law and Concord Law School of Kaplan University. “The Tribal Law and Order Act has profound implications for attorneys and others working in the field of Indian law today,” said Professor Tim Pleasant, who will lead the webinar.  “This webinar will give an overview of the new law and how it will affect the administration of law and order in American tribal courts.  This new law promises to be a real turning point in tribal justice.  The webinar will also be a great opportunity for potential students to become acquainted with the live classroom we’ll use as we begin our new MJIL program.”

The webinar is a feature of a collaborative online Master of Jurisprudence in Indian Law (MJIL) degree program that the University of Tulsa College of Law and Concord Law School will be offered beginning August 2011, and has been granted acquiescence by the American Bar Association. The 30-credit-hour program is for college graduates, particularly those working in tribal governments and businesses, and government agencies, who are interested in learning about Indian law. The program is also for lawyers who wish to gain additional expertise or expand their practices.
