Federal Indian Law
Substantive
|
Federal Indian Law is an important component in the origin, history and specific jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and remains an important practice area in the Court, today. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has helped shape Federal Indian Law in many landmark or significant cases. In addition, the year 2006 marks the 60th year anniversary of the establishment of the Indian Claims Commission which, 30 years later, was abolished. Many remaining cases devolved to the docket of the United States Court of Federal Claims and were reviewed by the Federal Circuit. Among its goals, this Committee seeks collaboration with the Federal Circuit Historical Society, as well as other interested
Committees, in examining the impact of the Indian Claims Commission and its ultimate assimilation into the Court of Claims. The opportunity to develop a special edition of the Federal Circuit Bar Journal on this topic is also a possibility as part of the activity surrounding this anniversary.
