Targeted Comprehensive Support for the Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction Program

The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) provides training and technical assistance, through semiannual Inter-Tribal Working Group (ITWG) meetings, to special tribal criminal jurisdiction (STCJ), tribal governments, and potential grantees on the challenges and gaps that tribal nations encounter in their planning, implementation, and exercise of jurisdiction over non-Indians. The target audience for this project is all tribes interested in implementing STCJ and ITWG participants including tribal council members, judges, victim advocates, defense attorneys, law enforcement, prosecutors, court staff, tribal general counsel/in-house counsel, probation/parole/re-entry, corrections, and other disciplines that may be necessary to plan for and exercise STCJ.
