6 Broadcaster Press December 15, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com State’s 9-1-1 Board Researches Whether Surcharge Should Stay USD Law Professor Publishes Book On Experiences As Tribal Appellate Justice VERMILLION – University of South Dakota School of Law professor Frank Pommersheim has published a new book entitled Tribal Justice: 25 Years as a Tribal Appellate Justice. The work provides an in-depth review and survey of tribal appellate court jurisprudence, including enrollment and disenrollment, civil rights, elections and political participation, criminal law and procedure, rights of juveniles, tribal constitutions, and tradition and custom. The book focuses on the procedure and substance of tribal court appellate decision making as revealed in the text of actual court opinions. ''Frank Pommersheim is the modern apotheosis of Ksa, Nanaboozhoo, Quetzalcotl, Athena, John Marshall, and the Buddha -- all legends of judicial wisdom. Tribal Justice is a powerful culmination of his career work so far and gives us all hope for another quarter century of his judgment, experience, and calm thoughtfulness,” said Matthew Fletcher, professor of law at Michigan State University College of Law in his review of the book. Pommersheim was born in New York City but has lived in South Dakota for more than 35 years. Prior to joining the USD faculty in 1984, he lived and worked on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation for 10 years. He currently serves on a number of tribal appellate courts throughout Indian country, including chief justice for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Court of Appeals and the Rosebud Sioux Supreme Court. Pommersheim writes extensively in the field of American Indian law. He is the author of Braid of Feathers (American Indian Law and Contemporary Tribal Life) and numerous scholarly articles. Pommersheim is a contributor to the 2005 edition of Felix Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law. Pommersheim's Broken Landscape: Indians, Indian Tribes, and the Constitution was published in 2009 by Oxford University Press and has recently been released in paperback. He also has received the University of South Dakota Belbas-Larson Award for Excellence in Teaching, the South Dakota Peace and Justice Center Reconciliation Award, and the John Wesley Jackson Award as the Outstanding Professor of Law. Pommersheim is also a poet. His book prior to this most recent selection was East of the River: Poems Ancient and New. A chapbook entitled Small is Beautiful: The Buddha Correspondence was published last spring. In addition, Pommersheim is an amateur but avid bird watcher who is well-acquainted with the works of Bob Dylan and has played a lot of hoops all over this land.
