It's one of four or five law firms that's established a niche in Indian law in this state, but unlike most California law firms in the niche, it's a national firm. They are knowledgeable, committed and focused on expanding the authority of Indian tribal governments ? and protecting them from the onslaught by federal, state and local governments. |
The one thing the tribe will not do is simply subject itself to the jurisdiction of the state. |
They have blinders on. They want a state court to decide their case, and they can't have a state court decide their case without overruling 200 years of United States Supreme Court precedents. |
