PHOENIX — The Navajo Supreme Court will hear oral arguments tomorrow at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in an effort to raise awareness of tribal courts.

The hearing is open to the public and will examine whether the Navajo Housing Authority should pay a claim for a wrongful termination through the Navajo Nation Labor Commission.The authority says it should not have to pay the judgment, claiming sovereign immunity as a federal agency and a tribal entity.
