U.S. Supreme Court - Lac du Flambeau Band v. Coughlin - April 24, 2023
Channel: indianz
Date: 2023-05-01

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Lac du Flambeau Band v. Coughlin, No, 22-227, on April 24, 2023.

The outcome will determine whether tribes enjoy sovereign immunity in federal bankruptcy proceedings -- despite the fact that the words "tribe" or "Indian tribe" don't appear anywhere in U.S. bankruptcy code.

A decision is expected before the conclusion of the high court's current term at the end of June.

Lac du Flambeau was the third, and final, Indian law case heard during the ongoing session, which began last October.
