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.
Justin B. Richland is associate professor in the Department of Criminology, Law, and Society at the University of California, Irvine. He is also author of Arguing with Tradition: The Language of Law in Hopi Tribal Court. Sarah Deer is assistant professor at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, MN. She is co-author of Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure and co-editor of Sharing Our Stories of Survival: Native Women Surviving Violence, both in the Tribal Legal Studies series.
