Please join us in congratulating our new NALSA Co-chairs, Josh Clause and Rob Teel! NALSA will be in good hands. And Member of the Year goes to Erin Dougherty! If you see Erin make sure to congratulate and thank her for her dedication and hard work. It was a very close vote – thanks everyone that was a part of NALSA this year. It was so great to have your enthusiasm and support throughout the year!
End of the year dinner!
Sadly, another year at Michigan Law is drawing to a close. But luckily, that gives us yet ANOTHER reason for ANOTHER NALSA event!
What: End of the Year Dinner
When: Wednesday, April 16 *Last Day of Classes*
Where: Sadoko, 1321 South University, 6:00pm …and later
The amazing thing about NALSA is that we all get along and we like each other’s company! To celebrate another successful year of friendship and promoting the study of Indian Law we’ll be getting together for one final dinner. If you plan to attend, please RSVP Erin. If you can’t make the dinner at Sadoko then you’re still more than welcome to stop by afterwards. Either way please RSVP.
Indian Law Day
NALSA would like to thank all the speakers and sponsors for making this year’s American Indian Law Day a success.
