Bureau of Justice Assistance

Description

Authorized by the Indian Tribal Justice Technical and Legal Assistance Act of 2000, Title I (25 U.S.C. 3651, et seq. (Public Law 106-559)), BJA’s Tribal Civil and Criminal Legal Assistance (TCCLA) grants enhance tribal justice systems and improve access to those systems. Targeted to non-profit organizations as defined in the eligibility section on the title page, the grants serve to strengthen and improve the representation of low-income tribal members who are litigants in civil causes of action and all indigent defendants in criminal proceedings 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.
