The NYU Native American Law Students Association (NALSA) and the Center for Race, Inequality, and the Law (CRIL) are excited to co-host our upcoming symposium, Law On Our Terms, on Thursday, March 30th, from 12:00 to 7:00 PM ET. The symposium, which will include lunch and dinner, will be held at the Lester Pollack Colloquium in Furman Hall at NYU School of Law (245 Sullivan St., New York, NY 10012). 

The goal of this symposium is to engage with important Indigenous legal issues while centering the perspectives of Indigenous leaders and scholars. We have planned an exciting full day of events featuring a keynote speaker, two-panel discussions, and the sharing of food and community. This event is conducted in partnership with Law Women, the Women of Color Collective (WoCC), and the Law Students of Alumni Association (LACA).

Speakers will include Marguerite Smith (First Nations Development Institute), Amanda White Eagle (NYU-Yale American Indian Sovereignty Project), Steven McSloy (Columbia Law School), Matthew Fletcher (University of Michigan Law School), Precious Benally (Columbia Law School), Angel Charley (Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women), Carmen O'Leary (National Indigenous Women's Resource Center), Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum (Cardozo School of Law), and Curtis Zunigha (The Lenape Center). 

Many thanks to the numerous sponsoring organizations who have made this event possible!
