Nearly every American Indian tribe has its own laws and courts. Taken together, these courts decide thousands of cases. Many span the full panoply of law, from criminal, civil, and probate cases to divorce and environmental disputes. The Third Edition of American Indian Tribal Law surveys the full spectrum of tribal justice systems. With cases, notes, and historical context, this text is ideal for courses on American Indian Law or Tribal Governments, and an essential orientation to legal practice within tribal jurisdictions.
