On June 19, 73 Native American high school students representing 22 Tribal Nations participated in the INSPIRE program and visited the law school to learn about the Native American Pathway to Law Initiative. ASU’s Office of American Indian Initiatives hosts the INSPIRE program annually, a week-long college readiness initiative for Native American high school students from various Arizona Tribes. Kate Rosier, ILP executive director, and Crispin South, second-year law student and president of ASU’s Native American Law Students Association, delivered presentations and facilitated mock trials where students argued their positions in the cases. Patty Ferguson-Bohnee, director of the Indian Legal Clinic, and Danielle Williams, communications specialist,  distributed promotional items to the students.

We express out gratitude to the Office of American Indian Initiatives for continuing to provide this enriching experience.
