This one-unit course will explore current issues in litigation involving American Indian and Alaska Native children, including private family law disputes and state-initiated child welfare proceedings. The course will introduce students to the Indian Child Welfare Act, including its primary jurisdictional, procedural, and substantive provisions. In addition, the complex jurisdictional law governing interparental custody disputes over children will be covered. In that respect, students will study the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, and selected state and tribal laws.
