Symmetry and Asymmetry in Federal Indian Law

Abstract

The scientific concept of symmetry is broader than usually noted, dealing with the uniformity, or not, of the laws of physics through various translations in time, space, size, velocity, and so on. In this Article, Professor Laurence finds this broad concept applicable to questions of the uniformity of the law, and in particular to the larger question of American Indian law: when are the rules that obtain in Indian country the same as in the nation at large, and when are they different? The answer lies in the relationship, if any, between the law in question and the ancient sovereignty of the tribe.
