By Steve Lash U.s. Department of the Army 1998-99 Preview of United States Supreme Court Cases 146 (11/20/1998) The doctrine of sovereign immunity generally provides that the federal government may not be sued without its consent.

After the Ninth Circuit ruled that the APA permits a subcontractor to pursue an... 1998
