About the Program

Join us for the 27th Annual University of Washington Indian Law

Symposium! As in past years, the conference includes comprehensive

litigation and legislation updates and a number of topics of interest

to a broad array of practitioners. This year features high-level political

appointees who implement Indian policy in the Obama Administration.

Both Assistant Secretary Kevin K. Washburn and White House Policy

Advisor Jodi Gillette will participate in this year’s event. We are also

excited that Senate Indian Affairs Committee Chief of Staff and

General Counsel Mary Pavel (a University of Washington School of

Law Grad) will give the annual federal legislative update. Another focus

will be on the implementation of the tribal law and order act and the

amendments to the Violence Against Women Act that restored tribal

criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians who commit certain crimes within

Indian country.
