While the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to pose challenges to our editorial process, I am proud of the hard work our staff has dedicated to this issue and am eager to share our latest publication with you, the reader. This issue features two articles, three student notes, and two case comments. These pieces discuss a wide variety of legal topics significant to Alaska, offering perspectives from practicing attorneys, scholars, and students alike. In our first article, Alaska Native Corporation Endowment Models, authors Robert Snigaroff of Denali Advisors and former Alaska Attorney General Craig Richards provide a timely analysis of how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 has impacted settlement trust provisions relevant to Alaska Native Corporations.

Explaining past legal opinions, Mr. Scherer delves into the 2017 acceptance of a small parcel of land in Craig into trust and the debates that ensued. Noting an absence of substantive discussion of Alaska's existing trust parcels, Mr. Scherer offers a detailed explanation of Alaska's past trust acquisition actions in order to better frame future debates. In the first student note in this volume, Time's Up: A Call to Ban the Use of Sex as an Investigatory Tactic in Alaska, incoming Editor-in-Chief Kate Goldberg argues that the existing police practice of using sexual contact with sex workers for investigative purposes violates due process and should be outlawed through the reintroduction of bills previously presented to the Alaska Legislature in 2017.
