Symposium in Honor of David H. Getches, April 26-27
A Life of Contributions for All Time
David H. Getches led a luminous life of public service as Founding Director of the Native American Rights Fund, historic litigator for Indian tribes, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, valued board member and chair of leading non-profit organizations, revered teacher, and Dean of the University of Colorado Law School for eight years. At the heart of his contributions lies a prodigious body of widely respected scholarship extending from the 1970s through a posthumously-published book chapter to be released this year.
