How Are Tribal Judges Shaping Justice Systems to Fit Their Communities?

On October 30th, we welcome you to join the American Constitutional Society (ACS) and the Native American Law Students Association for a panel discussion with former tribal judge Cheryl Demmert Fairbanks (Tlingit/Tsimpshian) and current tribal judge JoAnne Cook (Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians). The panel will open with a grounding from Judge Fairbanks. The panel will explore the unique ways that tribal judges function in their communities, how Indigenous justice systems are molding restorative outcomes for community members, and where Indigenous justice is going next. 

The event will take place on Wednesday, October 30th, at 12:15pm. Both judges will attend via Zoom Webinar and we will be able to welcome guests either in person or through the Zoom Webinar. 

Lunch will be provided for those who are attending in person and RSVP by October 23rd.
