The University of Nevada Las Vegas’ William S. Boyd School of Law has announced that that two fellows will spearhead the law school’s Indian gaming projects.
According to a news release issued by the university, the school has named Jennifer Carleton and John Tahsuda as distinguished fellows.
“The addition of these two great leaders as distinguished fellows is an incredible step toward strengthening the Boyd Law Indian Nations Gaming and Governance Program, generously supported by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians,” Leah Chan Grinvald, dean and Richard J. Morgan Professor of Law, said in the release.
The move will give the school access to data from seven leading Western schools due to national measure that hopes to facilitate economic progress to Southern Nevada.
According to Grinvald: “Their connections to and experiences with Indian nations will enhance our gaming law curriculum, which already boasts the most extensive gambling jurisprudence and the only advanced gaming law degree available in the United States.”
Moreover, the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Network will be expanding in order to bring researchers from across the nation to cultivate research in the marketplace ideas and created five more university-based Innovation Corps area hubs.
According to John Tahsuda, a principal with Navigators Global, LLC: ”I am very excited to work with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the Boyd School of Law to establish the Indian Nations Gaming and Governance Program, and am honored at the trust they have placed in us. I especially applaud the vision of the Tribe to set in place this foundational resource for the current and future generations of tribal lawyers.”
