This conference is focused on providing Alaska Tribal Justice Systems with information children’s cases, domestic violence, and misdemeanor/juvenile cases. There is an emphasis on restorative justice and sentencing circles. One other component of the training is improving tribal-state relations. This conference is intended to provide information to tribes just beginning tribal court development, for tribes that want to enhance or make modifications to their courts, as well as for tribes pursuing on-going tribal court training. Judges, Court Administrators, ICWA Workers and other court related personnel attend this training.
Course Goals
Enhancing tribal courts to meet the needs of the community is just one avenue toward strengthening tribal sovereignty. Improving communication and cooperation between the tribal and state systems can lead to healthier communities that are more responsive to the needs in rural Alaska villages. This training aims to address current issues in the law and continue the growing dialogue between the Alaska Native villages and state government.
