Comment on Vision from the Bench to Fulfill the ICWA Promise by Lowell Halverson

Lowell Halverson — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:41:25 +0000

Thank you, Gina, for continuing to include me in your correspondence. Some time ago, I spoke to you about engaging the State of Alaska Chief Justice with CCTHITA’s Chief Justice, Dolorosa Cadiente. My hope was that this might lead to elected tribal judges and state judges in Alaska meeting regularly. to advance the goals of ICWA, Judge Cadiente was an articulate advocate for the Alaska Native view of ICWA. Unfortunately, she passed away last month, leaving a vacuum in our judicial leadership that cannot be replaced for at least several years. She was preceded in death by Associate Judge Doug Luna, a trained lawyer, a former Administrative Judge and, also, an expert on ICWA,

Our current Child Support Magistrate, David Voluck, would make an excellent tribal advocate/ representative at Alaska Judicial Conferences. He is a co-author with David Case of “Alaska Native Law” . His job is an appointed position. Our tribal Constitution requires that all tribal judges must be elected from among the elecfted Delegates at General Assembly. As a non-native David does not qualify as a delegate.

Do you know, off hand, whether the funding grant for his CCTHITA magistrate position would preclude him from volunteering to take on this task?. I am not acquainted with the grant’s mandates and hope you can clarify this for me.

Thank you.

Comment on Bridging the Gap – Education for New Judges When They Need It Most by Tom Langhorne, Utah Director

Tom Langhorne, Utah Director — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:39:35 +0000

This article is very helpful to our Utah courts’ efforts to restructure our new judge orientation. Here, judges are appointed throughout the year. As a result, this appointment structure frustrates our ability to provide “on time” pre-bench preparation. This article offers great solutions and resources with whom we can consult. Thanks,
Tom Langhorne

I hate the word retirement but love the word unretirement.
Thanks for this cutting edge article, that I hope, will encourage the “die hard hate the computer baby boomer” explore the power of social media. I certainly will do what I can to help make it go viral.

Comment on Transitions – Spring 2011 by Charlie Schudson

Welcome Tim!

For those who might not know, Judge Timothy J. Baland is a superb judicial educator, specializing in law/literature seminars. I have had the privilege of attending one of Tim’s excellent law/lit two-day programs, and I am proud to count Tim among the co-facilitators of KeynoteSeminars. Tim’s experience is most impressive and includes service as a war crimes tribunal judge in Kosovo.

NASJE will, I’m sure, benefit from Tim’s insights, and our members will delight in his thoughtfulness and good humor.
