The National American Indian Court Judges Association (NAICJA) invites presentation proposals for the 44th Annual National Tribal Judicial and Court Clerks’ Conference which will be held on October 8-10, 2014 at the Cherokee Nation’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  NAICJA’s Annual Conference offers innovative and timely information through high quality presentations by knowledgeable speakers. In 2014, the theme of the conference is “Celebrating Tribal Justice Innovations and Success.” NAICJA is presenting topics that highlight the broad spectrum of innovative and creative American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and First Nation tribal justice system approaches utilized in addressing crime and resolving disputes.  For tribal court clerks, NAICJA is providing information on best court administration practices and emerging court technology necessary to support the tribal justice system.

This is your opportunity to share your expertise and display your creativity by developing an original program for presentation.  Proposals specifically tailored to meet the needs of the NAICJA audience are strongly preferred. Proposals are due on or before February 28, 2014.
