The class will synthesize theory and practice through the development of practical advocacy skills.
LAW 545 - Tribal Law Advocacy. 1 Credit.
Due to the inherent sovereignty of American Indian Nations, advocacy within tribal governance systems is unique and differs from advocacy in State and Federal Forums. This course will promote a critical understanding of the techniques and skills necessary for advocacy in Tribal Government forums. In addition to argument before the Tribal Court, a large amount of legal practice in tribal forums also occurs before the tribal council. This is because in many tribal jurisdictions the tribal council functions as the legislative, executive and judicial branches. In many jurisdictions it is the tribal council, rather than the Court that hears and decides certain disputes (as not all tribes have implemented separation of powers and delegated the entirety of the judicial function either constitutionally or as a delegation of authority to the Tribal Court). With this in mind, the intent of this course is to give students a realistic view of Tribal Government forums and the role played by the tribal advocate with both experiences, a tribal court argument experience, and a tribal council argument experience.
