Sherman J. Bellwood - 1917-1995

handle is hein.journals/idlr34 and id is 11 raw text is: Sherman J. Bellwood 1917- 1995 Sherman J. Bellwood, an Idaho native, graduated from the University of Idaho with honors in 1939 and earned the Doctorate of Law degree from the University of Michigan in 1941. After serving five years in the Army Coast Artillery Corps, he returned to Idaho to begin his legal career. For fifteen years, Sherman Bellwood engaged in the general practice of law. He also served as President of the Idaho State Bar and was for a number of years the Idaho delegate to the American Bar Association. In the early 1960's, Bellwood was elected to serve as an Idaho District Court Judge, where he presided until his retirement in 1981. Active in community and civic projects, Judge Bellwood was instrumental in obtaining from the United States the land which today is the home of the Idaho Youth Ranch. Throughout his distinguished career, Judge Bellwood was committed to the legal profession and to legal education. In one of his last and most generous contributions to legal education, Judge Bellwood endowed the Sherman J. Bellwood Lectures at the University of Idaho College of Law. According to the terms of his will, Judge Bellwood's purpose in establishing this endowment was 'to enable the College of Law to invite and present persons learned in the law to lecture on legal subjects from time to time. This endowment is the largest endowed lectureship at the University of Idaho. Professor Charles F. Wilkinson delivered the Bellwood Series inaugural lecture on October 2, 1997. Professor Wilkinson, the Moses Lasky Professor of Law at the University of Colorado, has written widely on law, history, and society in the American West. His deep interest in American Indian issues dates from his days with the Native American Rights Fund. That interest led him to work for tribes on many issues, most recently as tribal representative (along with Jaime Pinkham of Idaho's Nez Perce Tribe) in the negotiation of Secretary Babbitt's 1997 Secretarial Order on Tribal Rights and the Endangered Species Act. The Idaho Law Review is proud to present Professor Wilkinson's inaugural lecture, Indian Tribal Rights and the National Forests: The Case of Aboriginal Lands of the Nez Perce Tribe.
