On October 9, 2024, Partner Anna C. Crary presented the 2024 Alaska Native Case Law Update at the 40th Annual Alaska Native Law Conference held in Anchorage, Alaska. Read the full 2024 Alaska Native Case Law Update.
The annual Alaska Native Case Law Update offers summaries and analysis of important cases from the past year that are of particular relevance to Alaska Native Corporations and Alaska Tribes. This update inspires discussion at the Alaska Bar Association’s annual Alaska Native Law Conference where attorneys examine developments in Alaska Native law and track changes from year to year.Â
The cases are organized into six categories: Lands and Property Cases, Fish and Game Cases, CINA and ICWA Cases, Corporate Governance Cases, Tribal Sovereignty Cases, and Other Cases. Many are final decisions or dispositive rulings that have been issued since November 2023 and have some importance to Alaska practitioners.
