I like having my transcript and resume reflect that public interest law (namely, the interests of Native American tribes) has a very important place in both my academic and professional careers. The summer before I was awarded the Public Interest Fellowship, I worked with the Moapa Band of Paiutes (which is just north of Las Vegas) under a grant from the Public Interest Law Association at Boyd. The next year I continued working with the Tribe to revise their Law and Order Code. Working with the Tribe has helped me develop valuable connections in Indian Country and has reinforced my resolve to advocate for tribal sovereignty.
