The Indian Law Section is calling for article proposals to be included in the 2026 special Indian Law edition of the Arizona Attorney magazine. Proposals should focus on an issue of interest to those who practice Indian Law. Publication in the Indian Law Edition of the Arizona Attorney magazine is a wonderful opportunity for Indian legal practitioners to showcase their expertise in the field of Indian law. The Indian Law Section relies on you to contribute articles in order to preserve this outstanding tradition.
