Professor Reese analyzes tribal court opinions on the topic of judicial review, using the underexplored body of case law to surface new insights about the institution of judicial review and about tribal courts themselves.

Wohoo! And it’s about time… The Oneida Nation endowed a chair for an Indian Law scholar at HLS and they’ve been trying to fill it for DECADES. It took the incredible badass that is Tanner to break down that door finally. So proud and excited. This is a win for Indian Country and for the field!
