Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies Summary

Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies by Justin B. Richland

This second edition of Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies is the only available comprehensive introduction to tribal law. In clear and straightforward language, Justin B. Richland and Sarah Deer discuss the history and structure of tribal justice systems; the scope of criminal and civil jurisdictions; and the various means by which the integrity of tribal courts is maintained. This book is an indispensable resource for students, tribal leaders, and tribal communities interested in the complicated relationship between tribal, federal, and state law. The second edition provides significant updates on all changes in laws affecting the tribes, numerous new case studies (including studies on Alaskan tribes and family law), and a new concluding chapter.

Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies Reviews

Richland and Deer have put together an indispensible resource for those working with tribal communities. With a particular focus on strengthening Native governments through methods consistent with indigenous values and understandings, this text will undoubtedly become a 'go to' resource for anyone concerned with Native sovereignty and tribal legal institutions. -- Angela R. Riley, UCLA American Indian Studies Center Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies is an indispensible resource for scholars, practitioners, and students, and well-deserving of an update. Richland and Deer approach tribal law, a fast-growing and cutting-edge field, with intellectual rigor with respect to the educational aspects of the law and with understanding and respect to Indian culture, language, and traditions. It is unusual for a legal work to practice what the Anishinaabek call Mino-Bimaadziwin, walking the good road and living a good life, and this book is a testament to their dedication to Indian people. -- Matthew L.M. Fletcher, associate professor of law; Director of the Indigenous Law and Policy Center, Michigan State University College of Law
