in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Valid Indian-tribe attorney contracts approved before June 26, 1936, that set a deadline to finish work on already-filed lawsuits may keep running past that deadline, unless a newer contract on the same matter has since been made and approved.

This section covers an existing, valid contract that was made and approved before June 26, 1936, under an Act of Congress, between a tribe, band, or group of Indians and an attorney, for handling claims against the United States that have already been filed as a lawsuit. If that contract sets a time limit for finishing the work, it may keep running in full force past that limit — unless a later contract covering the same subject matter has since been made and approved.
