Abstract
In light of the recent Supreme Court rulings in National Farmers Union Ins. Cos. v. Crow Tribe and Iowa Mutual Ins. Co. v. LaPlante, Professor Pommersheim proposes a framework to analyze the jurisdictional issues that are likely to arise. In so doing, he addresses the two conflicting approaches which have been taken by the Court: the Cohen approach and the Oliphant approach. Next, he analyzes the application of both judicial and legislative jurisdiction and how the tribal courts should address these issues. Finally, he addresses several difficult issues, including the "no forum" issue, the "no law" issue, and the relationship between the tribal courts and the federal system.
