Trauma Informed Benchbook from St. Paul Tribal Court

From the inimitable Judge Voluck:

The recent St. Paul Island project – Tanaam Awaa:  ‘Our Community’s Work’ Trauma-Informed Benchbook for Tribal Justice Systems is better in hand … with that said the Tribe has produced a digital version for free download on their Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government website.

Now he says “Free” but go ahead and donate some dollars if you can to keep up this good work.
