Jennifer Petrella on LinkedIn: Montgomery County Domestic Relations Court is happy to announce that… (2024)

Eliza Burton "Lyda" Conley was a remarkable Wyandot woman who paved the way for Native American women in law. After graduating from the Kansas City School of Law, Lyda Conley became the first woman to be admitted to the Kansas Bar Association. Throughout her legal career, she fought tirelessly to protect the Huron Cemetery, now the Wyandot National Burying Ground. In doing so, Lyda Conley became the first Native American woman to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court. This case served as a precedent for the protection of Native American burying grounds. It was the first case in which the plaintiff argued that the burying grounds of Native Americans were entitled to federal protection. Through her advocacy, Conley gained the support of Kansas Senator Charles Curtis, who belonged to the Kaw Nation. Senator Curtis proposed and led the passage of legislation in 1916 which prevented the sale of the Huron Cemetery and established the land as a federal park. The Huron Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and in 2016, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.Through her unwavering dedication to advocating for tribal sovereignty, protecting tribal lands and legal achievements, Lyda Conley has inspired Native women to pursue legal careers. #LydaConley #NativeAmericanLawyer #TribalSovereignty #NativeAmericanRights #LegalAdvocacy #WomenInLaw #WomensHistoryMonth

New Bettering Justice Blog Post!We are happy to share Bettering Justice’s first post in our monthly blog.“Why Bettering Justice?” penned by Peter Jamadar explores the underlying philosophy behind the bettering justice movement. Peter notes that he has “...heard so many stories about court users' experiences, from across common law jurisdictions, and mostly in so-called developing societies. So often, even for parties who have 'succeeded' - won their cases or obtained the documents, declarations and orders they seek, the experiences have been distressing.” But through the synthesis and application of Bettering Justice’s principles, the system (judicial actors and institutions) becomes “Capable of continuously self-organising and re-organising itself through a dynamic process of information exchanges in the exercise of basic freedom, leading to constructive improvements. Capable of creating and re-creating its identity and operational mores, as it mindfully grows and develops in ever changing historical, socio-cultural contexts.”Be sure to read this month’s contribution and subscribe on our website to receive notifications about new posts and Bettering Justice activities - https://lnkd.in/ebREBt5N #justice #judicial #law #blog
