Course Description
Tribal Courts today must value and respect the civil rights of their criminal Defendant(s) by providing adequate and effective defense representation to all tribal and non-tribal members who are charged with a tribal crime.
Under the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, tribes are not required to provide professional legal representation to defendant(s) charged with a tribal crime at the expense of the tribe. However, many tribes today that have adequate law & order codes relating to criminal laws and procedures must employ trined and educated tribal advocates and public defenders that will provide representation to criminal Defendants.
This course is designed to instruct tribal advocates and public defenders in criminal procedures, jury selection, discovery, rules of evidence, jury trial procedures and much more. Please plan to attend this important training seminar presented by Montana & Associates.
