Tribal Court Room Policies and Procedures Manuals – NILL seeks copies

Hello –

The National Indian Law Library (NILL) would like to build a collection of tribal court policies and procedures manuals/handbooks.  These manuals would include information for tribal court personnel on issues such as the use of recordings and general policies and procedures.
Please contact Davis Selden dselden@narf.org if you have information to share on this topic.

These materials will complement NILL’s Tribal Law Gateway.

Thank you!  David
