The Tribal Law and Order Act
Meeting the Challenges for Justice
in Indian Country
Before the enactment of the Tribal Law and Order Act, tribal communities were limited to a maximum of one year of incarceration for any
offense committed on tribal land. Congress has increased the available
sentencing to three years per offense, for tribes who are willing and
able to adopt the TLOA provisions. This session will cover the progress
and challenges that Arizona tribes are addressing as related to TLOA
implementation. Panelists also will discuss some Arizona cases with
legal challenges to TLOA provisions. Discussion also will cover federal
perspectives, victim considerations, as well as cultural and socio-eco-nomic barriers to justice as traditionally understood by tribal members.

counsel; how they evaluate claims; what, if any, long-term changes
they see in the construction industry and legal work related to the
industry as a result of the recession; and the long-term changes to
relationships between the industry and outside counsel that may
