The Center for Indigenous Law & Justice at Berkeley Law (CILJ)is a newly established center dedicated to improving understanding about the role of Native Nations’ sovereignty within the American legal system, fostering greater appreciation for tribal sovereignty and rights to self-determination, and standing in solidarity with Native Nations in their pursuit of justice.CILJ envisions a future where Native Nations are fully empowered to exercise their sovereignty, where the role of Native Nation sovereignty is universally understood and respected, and where justice and self-determination are upheld for all Indigenous communities.Our commitment to collaborative engagement—with tribal governments, legal practitioners, scholars, students, and the broader public—will ensure that CILJ’s work remains grounded, responsive, and transformative.
