In co-written article for Law360, Partners Steven Gordon and Philip Baker-Shenk analyze the circuit court's ruling, which contradicts a previous ruling on the same issue by the New Mexico Supreme Court. This is an important win for tribes that are in the IGRA compact negotiation process with states.
