Tribal Mediation

Arbitration in Indian Country: Taking the Long View

Gabe Galanda has published “Arbitration in Indian Country: Taking the Long View”, in the current edition of the American Arbitration Association's Dispute Resolution Journal.

By agreeing to private arbitration, however, tribes do not cede litigation or settlement leverage to non-tribal opponents who know tribes are increasingly fearful of litigating and losing again in state or federal court and thereby creating bad law for all tribes.

He will be speaking from that paper at Seattle University Law School on March 18 at a symposium, “ADR’s Role in Resolving Indian Disputes: A Tangled Net or A Connected Web?”

Tribal Mediation and Arbitration: Tangled Net or Connected Web?

Gabe Galanda will be speaking at Seattle University Law School on March 18 at a symposium, “ADR’s Role in Resolving Indian Disputes: A Tangled Net or A Connected Web?” The day-long symposium will bring together arbitrators and mediators, tribal attorneys, scholars and judges, and attorneys representing non-Indian commercial clients to discuss the role and proper use of mediation and arbitration to settle Indian Country-based disputes, particularly those involving non-Indian parties.

Gabe will speak at 9:30 AM, regarding “The role of 3rd party alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in resolving disputes between Indian and non-Indian parties.” His comments will be based on his article in the current edition of Dispute Resolution Journal, published by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), titled, “Arbitration in Indian Country: Taking the Long View.”
