Solicitation of Rule of Law topics/articles is placed on every Journal
Editorial Board meeting agenda. At the 8-27-21 Editorial Board
meeting, a specific request was made for Rule of Law-related articles
and one Board member is working with SULC professors to produce
articles on the Rule of Law for future issues.
The first SULC-solicited Rule of Law article by Prof. Nadia E. Nedzel
was published in the June-July 2022 Journal (“The Rule of Law: What
Is It and Is It Still Relevant?”). The second Rule of Law article will be
published in the October-November 2022 Journal, written by Prof.
Adam Crepelle, on “The Reservation and the Rule of Law: Primer on
Indian Country’s Complexity.” More Rule of Law-themed articles are
expected for publication through 2022-2023.
▪ Share relevant articles with the local press and authorize reprints of
same.
To date, there have not been any articles that were relevant to share
with local press.
■ The State Bar promotes public understanding of the law, the legal system,
and the contribution of lawyers to society to garner public recognition for
lawyers’ good works and the importance of the Rule of Law.
