Title on Tribal-State Relations
Emerging Issues in Tribal-State Relations, 2016 Ed by ISBN: 9780314295033Publication Date: 2016-06-01Emerging Issues in Tribal-State Relations guides the reader through proven best practices for attorneys who represent Native American groups, and the organizations, government agencies, and private entities that come into contact with these tribes. In this book, some of the nation's leading practitioners address such important issues as:
Tribal sovereign immunity and its application with respect to tribal officials, as observed in Maxwell v. County of San Diego, 708 F.3d 1075 (9th Cir. 2013); the authors propose that Maxwell actually undermines the stated purpose of tribal sovereign immunity, and provide practitioners with suggestions on how to proceed in light of this unique decision;
The often confusing nature of tribal water rights and the various state and federal actions and processes that make resolution of water rights debates even more challenging.
