The Arizona Territorial Justice Forum offers attorneys a distinctive way to earn Arizona Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit by combining legal scholarship with Arizona history. Each year, legal professionals, historians, and enthusiasts gather to examine a notable case from the Territorial era, exploring how historical legal disputes continue to influence modern law. Through expert presentations, case analysis, and discussion, participants gain valuable educational credits while experiencing the stories, people, and places that helped shape the legal landscape of the American West.
The 2026 Forum transports attendees to Tombstone in 1881, where a high-stakes dispute unfolded between Tombstone Mill & Mining Co., owners of the Good Enough Mine, and the Way Up Mining Co. At the center of the case were extralateral, or "apex," rights under the General Mining Law of 1872, which allowed miners to follow valuable ore veins beneath neighboring claims. Participants will explore the legal and geological complexities that fueled the conflict through expert analysis, a guided tour of the historic Good Enough Mine, and an immersive visit to the community where one of Arizona's most intriguing mining law disputes played out.

Satisfy 2.5 Arizona CLE credit hours through a unique program that brings legal history to life with expert presentations, case analysis, and firsthand exploration of the events behind a pivotal mining law case.

Go beyond the courtroom and into the setting where the dispute unfolded with a guided tour of the Good Enough Mine and historic Tombstone, providing context that brings the case to life.

Gain insight from experts as they examine the legal arguments, geological evidence, and lasting impact of one of Arizona Territory's most significant mining disputes.
