For your information I have attached the rules and procedures which govern all cases where an attorney is appointed to represent an indigent. Also included in this document is the most recent UJS policy pertaining to court-appointed attorney fees. Each attorney must attach a detailed itemization of their time, fees, and expenses to each voucher, providing enough detail to ensure that the judge can determine the reasonableness of the fees. A voucher must be submitted for each case and then filed with the clerk after the judge has signed the order. If fees are being claimed in a case that spanned two separate calendar years the fees must be clearly broken out at the applicable rate for each year in the voucher. Please also be aware that there is a state Catastrophic Case Fund that can reimburse court appointed attorney fees to a county in certain situations.

  • Tribal-‐State Court Collaboration Working Group Report
    TLPI Report to BJA Tribal-State Court Collaboration Working Group Report Held on December 5, 2012 Office for Victims of Crime Indian Nations Conference Palm Springs, CA Maureen White Eagle Heather Valdez Singleton Submitted to Bureau of Justice Assistance, April 11, 2013 Tribal Law and Policy Institute 8235 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 211 West Hollywood, CA 90046 323-650-5467 www.tlpi.org www.WalkingOnCommonGround.org 1 TLPI Report to BJA Introduction The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) is working on a grant awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) to tribal and state court collaborations. As part of that effort, TLPI held a working-group meeting on December 5, 2012 in Palm Springs, California, to gather together those with experience in the court forums and collaborations and hear from these experts about the most relevant T/TA needs for these forums, so that TLPI can gain valuable information on the best direction for T/TA delivery and resource development. Because this meeting was held in conjunction with the 13th National Indian Nations Conference, we took advantage of the opportunity to also give a presentation in the “preconference institute” format for the morning of December 5. The afternoon consisted of the invited working group only. This report presents the findings of the working-group portion of the meeting. In order to put the report in context, it does provide the historical context for tribal and state court collaborations and the obstacles and successes of collaborations. The recommendations extend beyond simply the T/TA needed, and provide insights into strategies that could be utilized by governments, agencies, and organizations to support tribal and state court collaborations and the resolutions of challenges faced.

  • Structure and Function of Juvenile Justice Systemdraft Law Enforcement
    Program Abstract DRAFT The State of South Dakota will utilize FY2016 Title II Formula Grant funds consist with federal requirements and the FY2015 3-Year Plan. The budget is based on the FY2015 allocation of $400,000. The designated state agency, the South Dakota Department of Corrections, will ensure that subgrantees use funds consistent with Title II requirements and program purpose areas. South Dakota will allocate funds consistent with program purpose areas: 06 Delinquency Prevention, 19 Compliance Monitoring, 20 Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders, 21 Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC), 24 Indian Tribe Programs, 26 Jail Removal, 27 Juvenile Justice System Improvement, 28 Planning and Administration, 31 Separation of Juveniles from Adult Inmates, and 32 State Advisory Group. Funds allocated to the program areas ensure that at least 66 and 2/3 percent of South Dakota’s award will be expended through programs of units of local governments, programs of local private agencies, programs of Indian tribes that perform law enforcement functions, or directly by the state through outlined program areas. Activities that will be implemented to achieve the project goals and objectives include: maintaining compliance with the core requirements of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act by assisting counties in funding alternatives to secure detention and jail; monitoring compliance with core requirements by inspecting facilities and collecting and verifying juvenile admission data; supporting DMC intervention efforts including local DMC planning and early intervention and diversion programs; funding Native American Tribal juvenile justice programs; supporting juvenile delinquency prevention projects; assisting with the implementation of South Dakota’s juvenile justice reform, the Juvenile Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JJRI) ; and supporting the Council of Juvenile Services (State Supervisory Group for Title II program).

Washburn University of New Mexico Recommended Citation Kevin K. Washburn, A Different Kind of Symmetry, 34 N.M. L. Rev. 263 (2004).

For more information, please visit the New Mexico Law Review website: www.lawschool.unm.edu/nmlr A DIFFERENT KIND OF SYMMETRY KEVIN K. WASHBURN* In 1959, the Supreme Court decided Williams v. Lee' and announced a federal common law rule designed to protect tribal self-governance. Williams v. Lee sent a powerful message about the continuing legitimacy of tribal sovereignty and tribal governing institutions, but it is, in the first instance, a case about tribal courts. The rule in Williams v. Lee prohibited state courts from adjudicating reservation-based disputes when doing so would undermine the authority of tribal courts over reservation affairs. It thus recognized the primacy of tribal courts on Indian reservations.2 Williams v. Lee did not, of course, invent tribal courts,3 but it made the American legal community much more conscious of their existence and established their place in American jurisprudence. Nearly a half-century later, tribal courts are well rooted on Indian reservations across the country and in the American legal landscape. In light of the increasing number-and stature--of tribal courts since the decision in Williams v.

This Souvenir History is dedicated to the early settlers of Pierce County. Those who followed the star of empire in its V westward course and built themselves homes on the undeveloped prairies of Pierce County, that those who should come after them might live in a land of plenty and modern conveniences.
