"Indian Law and Legal Writing" is public lecture Oct. 22


Tonya Kowalski, Washburn University School of Law, will give a public lecture on incorporating federal Indian and tribal law into legal writing courses, which typically are part of the required first-year law school curriculum, at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22, in the Baker Courtroom, School of Law. The lecture would be of interest to students considering law school, as well as any faculty, staff, or students interested in de-marginalizing tribal issues in higher education. Professor Kowalski is an associate professor of law at Washburn University School of Law, where she teaches first year Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing.
