New Certificate in Lapp Law Offered

To supplement its world-renowned international curriculum, the Tulane Law School announced today that it will be offering a mini-seminar next fall in the law of Lappland, to be conducted by Professor Lufnan “Loof” Lirpa of the Sverige-Suomi Institute of the University of Uppsala.  The one-credit offering will focus on the relationship between social norms and law, particularly in the herding of reindeer, the reaction of local population to the institution of the so-called “Arctic Magistrate’s Tribunal,” and the law of snow.
