Federal Indian Law - Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians

Indian law is a complex field where federal law, state law and tribal law intersect and often collide. We represent Indian tribal governments, tribal members and non-Indians on issues regarding Federal policy toward individual Indians and recognized Tribes, the Federal government's trust responsibility to Indian Tribes, Federal power over Indian affairs, Tribal self-government, the reach of state law into Indian affairs, criminal and civil jurisdiction in Indian country, taxation in Indian country, the Indian Civil Rights Act, Indian gaming, the Indian Child Welfare Act, real property development and transactions in Indian trust land, Tribal employment and contracting preference laws, representation before Tribal councils, Tribal committees and Tribal courts, drafting Tribal ordinances and policies, Tribal enrollment and dis-enrollment, banishments, and housing law and development on Indian trust land. We emphasize practice with, and before, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
