Beyond Fox Rothschild
Harry is a member of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation and was elected to its nine-member Tribal Council, which is charged with the legislative governance of the Tribe, establishing tribal laws, resolutions and administrative and fiscal policies. Following his election to the Council, Harry was elected and currently serves as Tribal Secretary. The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation is one of the largest American Indian tribes in New Jersey and comprises a tribal confederation of the core families of the Nanticoke and Lenni-Lenape whose homelands have been in Southern New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula from ancient times. As the only attorney on the Council, Harry is responsible for coding tribal laws, creating a system for non-native attorneys to request permission to appear before the tribal courts and advising the Principal Justice in matters arising in the Tribal Supreme Court. Harry’s father and grandfather both previously served terms as Tribal Councilmen.
During law school, Harry served as research editor for the Rutgers Law Review. His student note, titled "The Incomplete Loom: Exploring the Checkered Past and Present of American Indian Sovereignty,” was selected for publication in the Rutgers Law Review, and, upon graduation, he received the "Rutgers Academic Achievement Award for Best Student Note, Comment, or Scholarly Paper" for his note.
Harry was also a member of the Rutgers Moot Court Board, and served as an attorney on the Rutgers National Team for two years. He won the school-wide Nathan Baker Mock Trial Competition in his second year.
