I'm delighted to report that Kathryn Fort, who teaches at Michigan State's law school and is also a staff attorney with MSU"s Indigenous Law and Policy Center, is stepping into the faculty lounge to sit with us for spell. Kate writes and teaches in Native American law. Kate's recent articles include The Vanishing Indian Returns: Tribes, Popular Originalism, and the Supreme Court in the St. Louis University Law Journal (2013), Waves of Education: Tribal-State Court Cooperation and the Indian Child Welfare Act in the Tulsa Law Review (2012), Disruption and Impossibility: New Laches and the Unfortunate Resolution of the Iroquois Land Claims in Federal Court forthcoming in the Wyoming Law Review, and The New Laches: Creating Title Where None Existed, in the George Mason Law Review (2009). Some of her other scholarship is available at ssrn. Kate was educated at Hollins University and Michigan State College of Law.
Kate blogs about Native American law at Turtle Talk. I'm looking forward to Kate's posts — I hope to hear a lot about Native American legal history.
