About the Tribal Courts Council
The Tribal Courts Council (TCC) was formed to respond to the need for educating and advising ABA members and the public about issues affecting Indian Country and the far-reaching but little-known effect of those issues on all areas of the legal profession. The TCC was also created as a means of advancing the ABA goal of promoting diversity in the legal profession. Finally, the TCC was formed in response to the potential for a large membership base of diverse peoples involved in tribal justice, many programmatic opportunities, the desire among tribes for affiliation with the ABA and the Judicial Division, and interest in tribal issues on the part of other members of ABA entities.
