Judge awards small fee to law firm for Oneida Nation land claim
Posted: Thursday, July 14, 2011
A law firm that worked on the Oneida Nation land claim was awarded $5,174, a fraction of the amount it was seeking.
Judge Lawrence Kahn said Bond, Schoeneck & King was entitled to about 10 percent of the final judgement in the case.
The tribe only received $57,494 from two counties in New York.
The tribe filed a different land claim in 1974. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals
effectively ended the case last year although an appeal is underway.
Turtle Talk has posted documents from the case, Oneida Indian Nation v. Oneida County.
