Arizona considers adding Indian Law to its exam

by Blog Admin

Oct
2

Arizona may soon be joining New Mexico, South Dakota, and Washington as  jurisdictions that test Indian Law on their bar exams.  The State Bar of Arizona petitioned the state Supreme Court just last month to add Indian Law to the exam.  The Court decided to hold off on its decision pending a study on a uniform bar exam.  The only objection to the addition was voiced by the Committee on Examinations, which stated that Indian Law, due to its complexity, would unnecessarily burden test takers.  Instead of requiring bar exam candidates to learn Indian Law, the Committee suggested that the material be integrated into required law school classes.  At present, Indian Law classes are offered as electives only at Arizona’s law schools.

More than one quarter of Arizona’s square mileage is comprised of tribal lands.  Twenty-two tribes currently reside there.

For a range of opinions on the petition’s merits, see this article in the Arizona Daily Sun.
