Rules of Evidence for Tribal Courts

Course Description

* Rules of evidence is one of the most important areas of any criminal or civil process. Most, if not all tribal courts lack meaningful and acceptable written rules of evidence. Many refer in law and order codes to the state or federal rules of evidence. *It is of utmost importance that tribal courts today develop substantive rules of evidence for their own particular court system. Without such rules, many criminal defendants rights and civil litigants will not be protected by adequate defenses and in many cases “”best evidence”” will not be utilized to convict or grant a fair judgment. *This seminar is a must for all tribal court personnel to promote and protect the effective and efficient judicial proceedings in a criminal and civil setting.
