Did you know that the United States once (and recently, at that) owned and operated a casino in Los Angeles? It did.
The resulting litigation has been a byzantine nightmare. The latest installment of which is this opinion by the Ninth Circuit.
But fear not. There will be more.
The case is a good reason to pay attention in your upper-year class on Federal Courts. Because the stuff is incredibly, incredibly complicated. As well as exceptionally valuable. Here, it's a $100+ million issue.
So think about that the next time you're considering blowing off class and/or skimming those difficult Ninth Circuit opinions. Sometimes, this stuff matters. A ton.
