Tribal Court Clearinghouse
"Welcome to the newly revised, improved, reorganized, and expanded Tribal Court Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse was established in 1999 and it was the first web site devoted to providing information to people working in Native American tribal courts. The Tribal Court Clearinghouse is designed as a resource for tribal justice systems and others involved in the enhancement of justice in Indian country. The Tribal Court Clearinghouse has been developed as a public service by the Tribal Law and Policy Institute without federal or foundation funding. We have redesigned the format of the Tribal Court Clearinghouse in order to take advantage of more user friendly technology that was not available when the Tribal Court Clearinghouse was launched in 1999. Moreover, we have both updated the initial WebPages on the Clearinghouse and doubled the number of web pages."
