SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] The False Claims Act and Protection of Tribal Funds
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) time zone** \nAlthough the federal government contributes billions of dollars to Native American tribes every year\, one rarely hears about False Claims Act (FCA) cases involving the protection of these funds. Indeed\, there have only been a handful of FCA cases involving such funds. Why is this? Historically\, what fraudulent schemes by non-tribal private actors have targeted tribal funds and how has this fraud been addressed (or overlooked)? Is there a need and opportunity to do more\, whether with the federal FCA\, state FCAs\, tribal laws\, or other tools to protect these funds? What should Relator counsel\, Defense counsel\, and U.S. state and federal government counsel know about tribal funds\, law\, and communities before engaging in this practice area? \n*** This event does not offer CLE credit *** \nPresented by the Qui Tam Section \nCo-Sponsored by the Indian Law Section \n  \nOpening Remarks\nHelen B.
