Collaborationwiththe IndigenousLawCenter

The International Development Law Center was particularly pleased to work closely with the Indigenous Law Center this year. Professor Jo Carrillo, Faculty Director of the Indigenous Law Center, commissioned a video documentary to profile the first four students awarded restorative justice summer fellowships by UC Law SF to support their work with Native American tribes in Northern California. Faculty Director of the International Development Law Center Jessica Vapnek helped produce and edit the video, which is now playing on a permanent loop in the Commemorative Space on the ground floor of the 200 McAllister building.

The video can also be viewed on the webpage of the Indigenous Law Center: https://www.uchastings.edu/academics/centers/indigenous-law-center/

In January, the International Development Law Center supported a reception and launch party for the video, held in the Skyroom of the 100 McAllister building Attendees, including UC Law SF faculty and staff, members of the UC Law SF Board of Directors, and visitors from Kosovo and Ghana, were welcomed by Assistant Chancellor and Dean Jenny Kwon, Indigenous Law Center Faculty Director Jo Carrillo, and Associate Dean of Experiential Learning Gail Silverstein, who established the summer placements for the UC Law SF students.

The International Development Law Center looks forward to continuing its partnership with the Indigenous Law Center on other initiatives in the coming year.
