Drummond Woodsum Attorneys Revitalize Federal Indian Law Course at UMaine Law

The University of Maine School of Law is once again offering a Federal Indian Law class after a hiatus of several years. This revival is made possible through the collaborative efforts of a distinguished team of attorneys from Drummond Woodsum.

The course will be taught by experts from Drummond Woodsum’s Tribal Nations Practice Group.  These attorneys bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for supporting Indian country to the classroom. Their collective expertise encompasses key areas of federal Indian law, including tribal governance, treaty rights and federal trust responsibilities, civil and criminal jurisdiction, environmental and natural resource issues, and economic development.

Michael Corey Hinton, Co-Leader of the Tribal Nations Practice Group at Drummond Woodsum, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “Bringing back the Federal Indian Law class at UMaine Law not only advances the interests of tribal nations in our state but also fosters a deeper interest and growth in this vital field. Our goal is to equip the next generation of legal professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate effectively for tribal communities and uphold their rights.”

By drawing on their extensive experience working with tribal governments and organizations, Drummond Woodsum attorneys will offer students invaluable insights into the complexities of federal Indian law. This course is designed to enhance students’ understanding of tribal sovereignty and the field of federal Indian law and inspire a new generation of advocates for indigenous rights.
