About the Annual California Indian Law Conference
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 2019, we had the honor of presenting George Forman the Outstanding Achievement in California Indian Law award. In 2019, George celebrated his 50th year of service to California tribal communities. We were honored to present Christina Snider, Governor’s Tribal Advisor and Executive Secretary of the Native American Heritage Commission, the 2019 Outstanding Young Attorney award.
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.
