NAICJA Training Event in Marysville WA-Remaining Space
Description:
This training, which NAICJA developed with a BJA grant, will highlight successful models that illustrate that various components of a justice system (e.g., codes, court rules, court procedures, legal assistance, corrections, probation, etc.) must be considered as a whole rather than as stand-alone services. The goal of this training is to bring together teams of tribal justice stakeholders from various communities in order to examine and strategize on how criminal and civil legal assistance and access to these services can be provided and improved through a collaborative, holistic approach. The training will also highlight the Tulalip Tribe’s justice system and the Salish and Kootenai’s Office of Public Defense, and key players from various components of the justice system will serve as panelists. Each jurisdictional team will ideally consist of a tribal judge, prosecutor, tribal attorney general, public defender/legal aid advocate, probation officer, and/or a tribal leader working with the same tribe. Individuals without a jurisdictional team are also encouraged to attend.
The training is free, but invitees must cover the cost of their travel, food, and lodging. Please contact Nikki Borchardt Campbell if you would like to register, nikki@naicja.org. NAICJA will continue registering attendees on a first come, first serve basis until all the remaining space is filled. Hotel accommodations are available at the Tulalip Resort and Casino for $139 per night, plus tax. Call 1-866-716-7162 for reservations. Participants must identify themselves with being with the National American Indian Court Judges Association.
