P1222 By entering into a gaming compact with the State of California, an Indian Tribe waived its sovereign immunity from tort liability to patrons injured at its casino, but not necessarily from suit in a state court; since the waiver is voluntary, the Tribe has the power to set conditions, which may include a valid tort liability ordinance specifying that the Tribal Court is the exclusive forum for such claims.CitationLAWRENCE v BARONA VALLEY CASINO (Tribal Immunity) 153 CA4 1364 [See: Campo Band v Superior Court 137 CA4 175, P/AT 5/06]
