The landmark McGirt v. Oklahoma decision, handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020, has led to a significant increase in the number of cases handled in the Eastern District of Oklahoma federal criminal court. The ruling determined that much of eastern Oklahoma, including lands covered by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and other tribal nations, remains Native American territory for purposes of federal jurisdiction. As a result, criminal cases involving Native American defendants or victims, which would have previously been prosecuted by the state, now fall under federal jurisdiction. This shift has overwhelmed the federal court system in the Eastern District, causing an influx of cases related to offenses that were previously handled at the state level. For defendants in this district, it is crucial to have a legal team with the knowledge and experience to navigate the complexities introduced by the McGirt decision.
