Who Won American Indian Law and Policy in 2014? Championship Round

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.
