Moderator: Professor Kevin Washburn, former Dean and Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs
Panelists: Michael P. Gross and Bryant Rogers, lead attorneys of the 25-year legal dispute
Gross and Rogers were the lead attorneys of the 25-year legal dispute claiming that the United States contracted with tribes to run programs but did not pay the full amounts required by law. They navigated the case through obstacles and ultimately obtained success before the U.S. Supreme Court, finally winning one of the largest settlements against the government in U.S. history.
