![["The Office of the Solicitor for the United States Department of the Interior has been asked to provide an opinion on a contract between the Seminole Nation of Indians in Oklahoma and John B. Campbell for legal services. The contract has been subject to multiple assignments, with questions arising about the validity of these assignments. The Solicitor determines that the contract should have terminated after a five-year period unless extended due to ongoing litigation.
