Off-reservation gaming focus of conference
Michigan State University College of Law hosts the 9th Annual Indigenous Law Conference on "Off-Reservation Gaming in Michigan: A New Gamble," on Friday, Oct. 19.
"Off-reservation gaming is a particularly big issue in Michigan, given the multiple off-reservation gaming projects going on, including one in our backyard in Lansing," says Kathryn Fort, interim co-director of Michigan State Law's Indigenous Law & Policy Center.
Participants include several speakers, including Kanji & Katzen keynote speaker Philip Hogen of Jacobson, Buffalo, Magnuson, Anderson, & Hogen.
"We hope to gain additional insights and ideas about the interplay among tribal, state, and federal statutes and compacts; how the people involved in these projects see the future of off-reservation gaming; and the legal theories behind all of this work," Fort added. "It's an incredibly hot topic."
