Justin B. Richland's areas of research interest include legal discourse analysis and semiotics, anthropology of law, and contemporary Native American law and politics. In 2005, he was appointed Justice Pro Tempore of the Hopi Appellate Court, the highest court of the Hopi Nation. He is also founding Chairman of the Board of The Nakwatsvewat Institute, Inc. a non-profit organization offering social justice services to native nations in the US. His book, Arguing With Tradition: The Language of Law in Hopi Tribal Court, appeared from U. Chicago Press in Spring 2008. Born and raised in Southern California, Richland is a rabid Los Angeles Lakers fan, often to the chagrin of his closest friends and colleagues. | |
