We're off to the Drake Law Review/IMGL Gambling Law Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa. This should be an interesting gathering, with high-powered gaming attorneys, policymakers, and even a few professor-types like ourselves.

We'll follow up next week with our sense of how it all went down. Also, we'll have to post something on starts and stops in Massachusetts!

Since December 2007, five tribal members have been killed in shoot-outs with the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department claims that crime has risen dramatically on the reservation since 2006, when the tribe cancelled its contract with the Sheriff's Department to provide law enforcement.
