The National
Tribal Judicial Center at The National Judicial College is one of the
first institutions to address the specific needs of Native American and
Alaska Native tribal law judiciaries. The curricula presented are innovative,
sophisticated and designed to enhance the professional skills of tribal
judges and personnel. The NTJC’s main objective is to improve justice
through national programs of education and training directed toward judicial
proficiency, competency, skills and understanding. The NTJC began in 2002
and is funded by a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance. NTJC courses
are offered on a rotational basis.
While many
courses pertain only to tribal court judges and personnel, the NTJC encourages
participants to consider other courses offered by The National Judicial
College that will enhance professional skills.
The NTJC is guided by a ten member council of tribal court judges, professors and tribal law experts. Click here to view the NTJC National Advisory Council
