Job Opportunity – Deputy Attorney General, CRIT

Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) has an opening for a Deputy Attorney General position in CRIT’s Prosecutor’s Office. CRIT is looking for someone with a year or more of criminal law experience (prosecution or defense); Indian Country experience is great but not required.

The areas of your prosecution would range from small crimes (petty theft) to major crimes (like arson and homicide). A large part of the criminal docket is domestic violence prosecution. I’m a Deputy Attorney General in CRIT’s civil section, but I’ve covered some criminal hearings and did a trial.

ILP Alum Diane Humetewa (Class of 1993) is the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge

Sen. Heitkamp Statement on Humetewa Confirmation

U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today issued the following statement after the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Diane J. Humetewa to be United States District Judge for the District of Arizona.

Humetewa is the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge, and the third Native American ever to do so.

“The confirmation of Ms. Humetewa to serve on the federal bench is historic,” said Heitkamp. “As the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge, I have no doubt that she will hold the court to the highest standards, as she has done throughout her career. Her vast and diverse experience shows that she is more than qualified for this position – from her work as a prosecutor and appellate court judge to her tribe, the Hopi Nation in Arizona, to her advocacy for victims’ rights to her work in academia. She’s an inspiration to Native American families across North Dakota and the country, and I hope that other young Native Americans strive to give back to their communities and stand up for others in the way that Ms. Humetewa has. It’s long overdue that Native Americans are better represented on the federal bench, and today’s vote is an important step forward.”

Congrats Diane!
