In the Supreme Court of the United States, October term 1997: State of Alaska, petitioner, vs. Native Village of Venetie Tribal government, et al., respondents: on writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: brief of amici curiae Indian law professors in support of affirmance
Summary
In 1943, the Secretary of the Interior set aside a 1.8 million acre reservation in Alaska (less than one-half of one percent of the State's land area) to protect the hunting grounds of the Natives of Venetie and Arctic Villages ("Venetie Reservation"). Unlike almost all other Native villages in Alaska, the Natives of Venetie and Arctic Villages elected under section 19(b) of the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, 43 U.S.C. Sec. 1601, 1618(b) ("ANCSA") to acquire title to their existing reservation and thereby to forgo any other land or economic benefits under the Act. The question presented is: Whether the Ninth Circuit correctly held, based on the complete absence of language in ANCSA extinguishing Indian country in Alaska, that the Native Village of Venetie Tribal Government (which represents both Venetie and Arctic Village) occupies Indian country and retains its inherent authority to tax business activities occurring within its territory in order to provide essential government services in an area not served by any other local government.

Summary
Case summary: The Supreme Court of California issued a peremptory writ of mandate prohibiting the Governor and the Secretary of the State of California from implementing Proposition 5, an initiative that would add a section to the government code detailing tribal-state compacts for gaming and gambling in the state. The Court held all but the last sentence of Proposition 5 was invalid because it was inconsistent with the anti-casino provision of California's Constitution.

City of Williams, et al., plaintiffs, v. Michael Dombeck, et al., defendants: no. civ.a. 00-0066 CKK
Summary
Case summary: The District Court granted in part and denied in part plaintiffs' claims against the United States Forest Services' decisions to approve land exchanges near the Grand Canyon. Plaintiffs' claims allege violations of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Federal Land Policy and Exchange Management Act (FLPMA). The court dismissed plaintiff's claims in violation of FLPMA as unripe because the Forest Service's decision to exchange land is dependent on title transfer and rezoning, neither of which have occurred or are imminent. The Court granted defendants summary judgment as to violation of NEPA stipulated in counts IV, V, and VII of plaintiffs' complaint and granted plaintiffs summary judgment as to violation of NEPA stipulated in count III of its complaint.

Summary
Case summary: The United States District Court for the District of Columbia denied plaintiffs' motion to amend its complaint against the United States Forest Service alleging violations of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Federal Land Policy and Exchange Management Act (FLPMA). The Court found plaintiffs' proposed amendments to the complaint were not warranted and would unduly prejudice the defendants because of the untimeliness of the amendments and the addition of tangentially related claims.

Title
Message to BLSA: Black Law Students Association: August 16, 2003
Summary
Summary by Jane Thompson: The very brief address to the Black Law Students Association in August of 2003 (read to them in absentia) is quite significant because it comes two months after the U.S. Supreme Court's Michigan affirmative action decisions on race and admissions (Gratz and Grutter). David says: "If I were there in person I would lift a toast to the viability of our admissions policy that allows us to look at the whole person, including racial and ethnic background." This issue, of course, is far from settled and appears to be up for grabs again in the Supreme Court (see Fisher v. UT-Austin, on the Court's docket in Fall 2012).

Clifford Calhoun Public Service Award to Charles Wilkinson
Title
Clifford Calhoun Public Service Award to Charles Wilkinson: April 26, 2004
Summary
Summary by Jane Thompson: In this speech, David Getches reflects on the "far-reaching" public service work that Charles Wilkinson has done, which most people in the law school don't know about. The deep mutual admiration of David and Charles is also apparent. This award came on the heels of Charles' receipt of the University of Colorado's Hazel Barnes Award, and it was concurrent with Charles' receipt of the University of Oregon's Distinguished Service Award.
