Given the ongoing, global pandemic, the Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program and our partners at the Indigenous Governance Program have decided to move January in Tucson (JIT) 2021 to a fully online format in hopes of accommodating as many people as possible.
From January 4 to 30, JIT 2021 will be live-streamed via the Zoom web conferencing platform. In order to do our part during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reduced the JIT 2021 registration rate to $500 per-course for participants who are not enrolled in a degree program at the University of Arizona.

For three weeks each year, the January in Tucson intensive education session brings together distinguished faculty in the field of Indigenous peoples’ governance and rights, and gives them the opportunity to teach and hold discussions with Indigenous leaders, practitioners, and community members, as well as other individuals interested in Indigenous affairs. |
The Huerta Scholarship was established in 2014 in honor of Judge Lawrence Huerta. Judge Huerta, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, was the first Native American to graduate from University of Arizona Law (class of ’53) and be licensed to practice law in Arizona. Throughout his illustrious career, Judge Huerta worked tirelessly to increase access to education for Native students, promote tribal sovereignty, and lead Native Nation building efforts.
