Castro-Huerta: Jurisdictional Impact and Solutions

The NYU-Yale American Indian Sovereignty Project invites you to join us for a virtual panel discussion on Wednesday, October 12 at 12:00 pm:

The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta challenged the legitimacy of the Supreme Court by upending 200 years of precedent, congressional action, and historical practice regarding criminal law in Indian Country. Although the immediate impact of Castro-Huerta is quite narrow, the Court’s disregard for rule-of-law principles and its own judicial role in the case could foreshadow issues for federal Indian law in the future. This virtual panel discusses the significance of the ruling and how to move forward.
