May 26: Legal Lunchbox — Subtle Acts of Exclusion

This seminar is a practical training that helps attendees recognize and interrupt the small, often unintentional behaviors that signal who belongs and who does not. Participants learn to identify patterns in everyday interactions, distinguish intent from impact, and practice low‑friction responses they can use in the moment. The session concludes with applying allyship to build shared agreements that reduce bias in communication and decision‑making.

Description:

Indian law issues arise more frequently in Washington state courts than many practitioners realize—and they are often dispositive. 

This program equips civil and criminal practitioners with a practical framework for identifying when a case implicates tribal sovereignty, federal Indian and Tribal law, or overlapping state, federal, and tribal jurisdiction. Participants will learn to recognize common triggers such as land status, party status, and Public Law 280 considerations, and will leave with the tools to ask the right threshold questions early to ensure cases proceed in the proper forum.

Speakers:

• Moderator: Ashley Cummins, Seattle University School of Law, Seattle, WA
• Bree R. Black Horse, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, Yakima, WA
• Brenda L. George, Hobbs, Straus, Dean and Walker, LLP, Portland, OR
