The Indian Legal Clinic represented the appellants in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Case no. 21-35230, Newtok Village v. Andy Patrick<\/em>) in an appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Alaska that involved defending tribal sovereignty from unlawful intrusion by federal courts.

On behalf of their clients, the clinic appealed an adverse permanent injunction issued by the District Court of Alaska and argued that tribal sovereignty to resolve intratribal disputes prevents federal courts from intervening on such matters and that the District Court of Alaska lacked jurisdiction. On December 22, 2021, the Ninth Circuit unanimously agreed with the appellants\u2019 arguments and vacated the district court\u2019s orders. Judge Richard C. Tallman wrote the opinion<\/a><\/strong>, concluding, “Continuing to enforce the permanent injunction here risks the federal court\u2019s impermissible involvement in interpreting the Tribe\u2019s constitution and laws.”\u00a0

Indian Legal Clinic Director Patty Ferguson-Bohnee <\/strong>argued the case before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 9, 2021. Watch the recording of the oral argument<\/a><\/strong>. Vinnie Amato <\/strong>(3L) assisted with research. Native Vote Fellow Torey Dolan <\/strong>(\u201919) and Jens Camp<\/strong> (\u201921) assisted in drafting the briefs before the Ninth Circuit. Dolan provided notes for the oral argument preparation, and Native Vote Fellow Blair Tarman-Toner <\/strong>(’21) and Dolan assisted in preparing and refining Ferguson-Bohnee’s oral argument. The ILC collaborated with co-counsel James J. Davis, Jr. of the Northern Justice Project LLC in Anchorage, Alaska.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
