Objective One: Legal Services, Indian Legal Clinic - The ILP respectfully requests $50,000 to help cover the Clinic’s cost of Director, staff, and student travel, and the cost of tribal bar membership and miscellaneous expenses incurred in representing ILC clients. The average round-trip mileage for a student to a tribal court in which the ILC is currently representing clients is approximately 75-100 miles. The current approved mileage reimbursement is .445 which results in a typical reimbursement of approximately $33.00 - $44.00 per student per trip. The ILC is also doing national policy work that requires out of state travel. Bar membership in tribal courts range from $100 - $300 per student and neither the students nor the Director can represent clients in these courts until they are admitted and pay dues to the tribal bar. Clients who visit the ILC are required to park on-campus. The ILC would like to purchase booklets of parking stickers that will cover the cost of daily parking and booklets that will be used for hourly parking. The ILC also needs funding to support the costs of case management and core operating expenses. Some of these costs include, court filing fees, research and expert witness fees, courier and service of process fees, staffing, as well as some copying costs. Clients usually have to find funding to pay for these items. Finally, the ILC would like to hire a professor and a fellow to handle cases over the summer months. This will help maximize the service to individuals and tribal communities. 2. Objective Two: Community Outreach - The ILP respectfully requests $50,000 to help put on at least three programs for the community. First, the ILP request $20,000 to continue to offer the Native American Pipeline to Law Program. This consists of Law School Admissions Workshops, Early Outreach to K-12 students and Mentorship. Native American Law School Admissions Workshops to prepare students for the law school application process. Students will meet with law school admissions staff to discuss personal statements, the LSAT exam, grades, and resumes. Early Outreach allows law students to visit school to discuss careers in the law with native students. There is also a mentorship component that allows for students to meet and work with law students and attorneys. Second, the ILP request $10,000 to offer a Tribal Court Enhancement Workshops to help train judges and legal advocates. The training would help enhance trial skills, writing and pre-trial actions. The funding would help provide travel to the tribal court participants and allow the program to provide food and materials for the event. Third, the ILP requests $20,000 in funding to offer Indian Law Conferences and programs to update Indian Country on recent Indian law activity. The funding for each event will help provide travel, lodging, materials, supplies and food for attendees. 3. Objective Three: Student Development - The ILP respectfully requests $50,000 for student development activities. The ILP seeks $20,000 to continue the SRPMIC Indian Rights Fellowship to provide students with an opportunity to undertake practical experiences with tribes, tribal/indigenous organizations, educational programs and/or nonprofits. Students will be eligible for a stipend to assist a group that cannot provide stipends to students to learn and engage in rights-based work on behalf of tribes. The SRPMIC Fellowship Program would promote social justice by providing training in various aspects of Indian rights to students and by providing an opportunity for public service within Indian country. The ILP intends to award at least two to six fellowships. Awards will ordinarily range from $2,000 to $9,500. Prospective employers will be asked to contribute to the stipend. The ILP fellowship amount awarded will be dependent on the stipend that can be given by the employer, if any. The money will also help pay for any transportation, lodging, and food expenses incurred during the fellowship. The ILP requests $20,000 in funding for the unique Traveling Classroom Program to help expose students to different reservations and cities they might not see on their own. The Travelling Classroom Program takes students to the Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska to learn what makes Ho-Chunk Inc the most successful on reservation business in the country. The class is offered during the students’ Spring break. The Travelling Classroom program will also take students to Washington, DC to help them learn how to advocate for the tribal client while utilizing DC resources. The students will buy their own airfare to the location and the ILP will help the students with hotel accommodations for the 5 day class. A typical class is comprised of 10 to 12 students and we try to put 2 students per room. A hotel room in Washington DC is typically $200 - $250 per night, totaling $7,500 per session. These funds will also help us provide a meal and a networking session. The Nebraska hotel is usually less expensive but meals must be provided as there are not many options on the reservation. The ILP requests $10,000 for students to continue participation in the Annual National NALSA Moot Court Competition. The competition takes place at a different location each year and law students from schools across the country participate. The funding would pay for coaching support, travel, lodging, printing, application fees and supplies. 4. Objective Four: Indian Law Scholarships - The ILP is requesting $100,000 in scholarship support for students pursuing a specialization in Indian Law. There are small amounts of funding directed toward J.D. students, but the amount needed has grown due to increased tuition. These funds would supplement ILP CLE and alumni fundraising efforts. Currently, the ILP has 30 Native American law students, one of the largest populations of Native American law students in the country. The ILP wants to support students pursuing a career in Indian Law and committed to serving native communities. The increase in tuition has made it very difficult for students to afford a legal education. In state tuition is currently $27,000 per year. We hope to fund 20-28 students with scholarships in the amounts of $5,000 - $27,000.
