    When Can Tribal Nations Sue? Theories of Standing in Federal Court

    Co-Sponsored by the State Bar of Arizona and the State Bar's Indian Law Section

    The seminar explores the legal theories of standing for tribal governments in federal court.  It will examine:

        • Key cases, 
        • Jurisdictional challenges, and 
        • The evolving legal landscape that determines when and how tribal nations can bring claims. 

    Attendees will gain insights into sovereignty, procedural hurdles, and strategic considerations for litigation.
