Bureau of Justice Assistance

Description

Targeted to non-profit organizations as defined in the eligibility on the title page, the grants serve to strengthen and improve the representation of indigent respondents in civil causes of action and indigent defendants in criminal cases under the jurisdiction of Indian tribes.

Finally, a third category funds training and technical assistance (TTA) that supports the development and enhancement of tribal justice systems.
