Dickinson Wright Gaming Law Expert Dennis J. Whittlesey to Speak at Third Annual Miccosukee Indian Law Conference

March 26 2007

March 29-31, 2007, Miccosukee Resort and Convention Center, Miami, Florida


The Third Annual Miccosukee Indian Law Conference, which is sponsored by the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, will focus on "Getting Justice In and For Indian Country". Dickinson Wright attorney Dennis J. Whittlesey will participate in a Friday, March 30 panel discussing Gaming for Tribes – Now and in the Coming Year.

The conference is an exceptional opportunity to advance the understanding of Indian Law and policy, and an opportunity to network and obtain CLE credits. Unlike other Indian Law conferences that focus entirely on congressional and court updates, the Miccosukee Indian Country Law Conference is dedicated to helping attorneys, tribal representatives, and anyone interacting with tribes improve their skills and become better advocates.
