Party or Amicus? Deciding When Your Tribal Nation Should Participate in Litigation
November 5th, 2021 | 10:30am-11:45am ET | 1.25 CLE
This presentation is designed for In-House counsel who advise tribal leadership on whether to intervene or be amicus in litigation affecting their tribal nation. We will discuss the pros and cons of becoming a direct party, whether to directly participate in the case or seek to have it dismissed, types of intervention, reasons for filing an amicus brief, and the reasons why such a brief may or may not be a good idea in specific cases.
Speakers include:
Paul Spruhan: Assistant Attorney General, Navajo Nation DOJ
Chrissi Nimmo: Cherokee Nation, Deputy Attorney General for Cherokee Nation
Megan Topkok: Iñupiaq, Staff Attorney for Kawerak, Inc.
Moderator – Jamie Williams: Student, Michigan State University College of Law
