Course Description:
The Indian Gaming Law course provides a survey of the law as it relates to Indian gaming. Indian Gaming, which generates over $39 billion in gross revenues annually, concerns the intersection of federal, tribal, and state laws regarding the development of gaming enterprises in Indian country. The course will examine the historical background behind Indian gaming and further examines the modern legal regime that governs the development of gaming enterprises in Indian country, focusing primarily on the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. Topics that will be addressed in the course include constitutional questions surrounding the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, regulatory oversight of gaming management contracts, negotiating of tribal-state gaming compacts, legality of contributions to the state in tribal-state gaming compacts, tribal gaming regulation, gaming on newly-acquired lands, tribally- specific limitations on tribal gaming, use of net gaming revenue, and other legal questions intersecting with Indian gaming. Students who have not already completed Federal Indian Law I before the start of the course are encouraged to secure and review before the start of class the latest edition of William Canby, Federal Indian Law in a Nutshell.
