The final is here.
#2 Tribal Sovereign Immunity v. #10 Tribal In-House Counsel Association
Immunity won with a narrow 54-46 percent margin over Alaska Native tribes. The big splash of the Supreme Court victory overwhelms the big news year for Alaska Native tribes.
The Tribal In-House Counsel Association wins easily over Justice Sotomayor. As Frank Pommersheim once said, the real practice of Indian law is in the trenches, as opposed to the high-stakes reality television of the Supreme Court. A perfect matchup for the final.
