Law schools urged to ask applicants to document Indian status
Posted: Wednesday, August 10, 2011
The American Bar Association wants law school applicants to show they are actually American Indian or Alaska Native.

That would mean a tribal enrollment number or some form of statement of tribal heritage.
The National Native American Bar Association pushed for the resolution.
