Less than a year after graduating from UM’s Alexander Blewett III School of Law, Ericka Camposan accomplished something few attorneys ever do: She earned admission to practice in every tribal court in Montana.

Camposan, a member of the Crow Tribe, completed five tribal bar exams and the additional requirements for each court while working full time and raising her daughter.

Now a tribal law staff attorney with the Montana Legal Services Association, she can provide direct legal assistance throughout Montana’s seven tribal nations and help expand access to justice in rural communities.

“This is what I went to law school to do,” Camposan said. “I want to give back to my community, help people across Montana and provide direct services to tribal communities.”
