Like all judges, tribal judges confront domestic violence cases on an all-too-frequent basis. To handle these difficult cases appropriately, tribal judges must master difficult legal, procedural, and psychological issues. After attending this four-day course, tribal judges will be able to develop follow-up systems in civil actions, make criminal defendants accountable to the court, and create effective responses to reported violations of court orders. They will also be able to rule more confidently on evidentiary issues, orders of protection and enforcement, bonds, pretrial releases, judgments and sentences.

Qualifies as an elective for the Certificate in Judicial Development, Tribal Judicial Skills program.
