Description

Since 2000, CILA hosts an annual conference dedicated to the exploration of legal topics of interest to California Indian tribes and to provide continuing education on cutting edge legal issues for Native attorneys and attorneys practicing Native law in California. Over the past 20 years, the conference has tackled important issues ranging from employment law, gaming compacting, Indian child welfare, environmental compliance, and more. Each year's agenda is determined by feedback from our membership, reflecting the issues faced by tribal clients and Indian County as a whole. The annual event also includes the opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of our peers by the presentation of the Outstanding Achievement in California Indian Law and Outstanding Young Attorney awards. In 2021, we honored Judge Claudette White with the Lifetime Achievement in California Indian Law award. We were honored to present Geneva Thompson with the Outstanding Young Attorney award. Stay tuned for this year's awardees! Conference surveys and membership feedback illustrates how valuable our participants find the California Indian Law Conference. Attendees include tribal attorneys, elected tribal leaders, and community members.
