Governor named liaison to Indian Law Section, highlights May CLE at Tulalip reservation
Summary
Governor Bang said she will serve as liaison to the Indian Law Section, encouraged participation in studying Indian law topics and promoted a May CLE at the Tulalip reservation. She said she is preparing for the bar exam associated with tribal practice and invited colleagues to join in study and discussion.
Governor Bang announced she has been designated liaison to the Indian Law Section and said she has begun outreach and study to help translate recent board discussions into ongoing work for the section. “I am starting my fourth month here on the board,” Bang said, “and I have the honor of being the liaison to the Indian Law Section.”
Bang said she is studying for the tribal bar exam and encouraged others to learn along with her. She also promoted the Indian Law Section’s 30th annual CLE, a two-day event scheduled for May at the Tulalip reservation, and said it is a “fantastic time to show up and learn.”
Why it matters: the liaison role and CLE promote sustained attention to Indian-law issues within the WSBA and provide continuing legal education opportunities and networking for practitioners working on tribal matters.
Discussion versus direction: the announcement was informational; no motion, budget, or committee assignment was recorded during the roundtable.
Ending: Bang invited colleagues to contact her to discuss Indian-law issues and to consider attending the CLE.
