Jill Johnson ’17 has been awarded third place in the 2017 Chief Justice John B. Doolin Sovereignty Symposium Writing Competition for her work “The Norwegian Way: Balancing Indigenous and Sovereign Rights: Norwegian leadership toward rational coexistence with the Sami.”

Justice Yvonne Kauger of the Oklahoma Supreme Court wrote: “Ms. Johnson’s paper showed the advancements of rights for the indigenous Sami in Norway and how other countries could learn from the Norwegian government’s success in this area. It contained a strong legal analysis with exceptional authoritative backing, while also being very original.”

The competition is open to students enrolled in an accredited law school in the United States and Canada.
