Tribal court systems

  • National Indian Justice Center (NIJC): An Indian owned and operated non-profit corporation created in 1983 through the collective efforts of the National American Indian Court Judges Association, the American Indian Lawyer Training Program, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs in order to establish an independent national resource for tribal courts. Its goals are to design and deliver legal education, research, and technical assistance programs which seek to improve tribal court systems and the administration of justice in Indian country.
