New Article Regarding Sentencing Disparities for Tribal Citizens in the Dakotas

B.J. Jones and Christopher Ironroad have recently published an article in the North Dakota Law Review titled "Addressing Sentencing Disparities for Tribal Citizens in the Dakotas: A Tribal Sovereignty Approach."

A link to the abstract and a PDF of the article are available here, from Turtle Talk, the Indigenous Law and Policy Center Blog at Michigan State University College of Law.  The citation is 89 N.D. L. Rev. 53.

Sentencing of Native Americans through tribal courts is one of the topics being discussed at the Biennial Indian Law Symposium currently being held at the University of South Dakota School of Law.  The theme of this year's symposium is "Public Safety in Indian Country: Tribal, Federal, and State Responses."  Panel discussions focus on the Tribal Law and Order Act, the Protection of Women, and Tribal, Federal and State Relations.  The Law Library has prepared a LibGuide to accompany the symposium, which is available here
