The University of Colorado Law School and its American Indian Law Program will host the 66th Annual John R. Coen Lecture at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Wolf Law.
“Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in a Changing Global Landscape,” will feature U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Albert Barume, who was appointed to the
position in December 2024. A national of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Barume brings more than 25 years of experience advancing Indigenous Peoples’ rights at national, regional and international levels, and he was among the first lawyers to focus on Indigenous rights advocacy in Africa in the 1990s.
The lecture, which will also be available via Zoom, will be followed by a reception at 6:30 p.m. One general CLE credit and one EDI CLE credit are approved for Colorado attorneys and judges.
Established in 1955 in memory of distinguished Colorado lawyer John R. Coen, the annual lectureship brings together prominent legal scholars, jurists and practitioners to address issues of professional and public significance.
