	ABWW has established a program to provide opportunities for Native law graduates considering a career in Indian law. It is known as the "ABWW Public Interest Indian Law Fellowship Program." Rovianne Leigh is the first such graduate to be awarded a "fellowship." Ms. Leigh is a 2005 graduate of Boalt Hall School of Law at U.C. Berkeley. While at Boalt, Ms. Leigh was active in the Native American Law Students Association; participated in the Boalt Hall Students Association as Co-Chair; and was a member of the Ecology Law Quarterly. She studied Indian Law at Boalt with Professor Philip Frickey and was a student in the Advanced Topics in Indian Law seminar taught by Prof. Frickey, Mr. Berkey and Mr. Williams. Her paper, "Renegotiating Law and History: Australian and American Approaches to Native Land Claims," written for the Advanced Indian Law seminar, will appear in the U.C.L.A. School of Law’s Indigenous Peoples Journal of Law, Culture and Resistance, forthcoming in the Fall of 2005. As a fellow at ABWW, Ms. Leigh will participate directly in serving tribal clients, gaining exposure to Indian law by working in areas such as native land rights, protection of tribal environmental and cultural resources, health, Indian child dependency, employment and tribal law.
