Elizabeth A. Reese, Yunpoví (Tewa: Willow Flower) is an Assistant Professor of Law at Stanford Law School. She teaches and writes about American Indian tribal law, federal Indian law, and constitutional law—specifically the intersection of identity, race, citizenship, and government structure. Her scholarship examines the way government structures, citizen identity, and the history that is taught in schools, can impact the rights and powers of oppressed racial minorities within American law. Before becoming a law professor, Professor Reese spent time working in all three branches of the federal government. Professor Reese worked at the National Congress of American Indians where she supported tribal governments across the country as they implemented expanded criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians under the 2013 Violence Against Women Act. Reese began her legal career as a civil rights litigator at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund where she led a desegregation case in one of the largest school districts in Florida and worked on the challenge to Alabama’s Voter ID law. She is tribally enrolled at Nambe Pueblo.
