For more than a decade, I've been a law professor at the University of Tulsa College of Law, where I also serve as a Co-Director of the Native American Law Center. Most of my academic work centers on the power and authority of American Indian tribal governments, particularly tribal courts. Here's an abbreviated bibliography of my legal publications:
