In a case highlighting jurisdictional disputes between U.S. and tribal courts, a federal appeals court has granted a key victory to the Godfrey & Kahn law firm involving malpractice claims over a $50 million bond deal for a Native American tribe in Wisconsin.

The firm, which served as counsel to the tribe, faces malpractice claims over bonds earmarked for a failed riverboat casino.
