At this time there is no digitization project of tribal court rules. Court rules are sometimes found in tribal codes but may also be treated as separate documents by the tribes.

Find provisions in 240+ tribal codes by using our custom search (at right). It will search the full text of all codes that NILL has available online as well as the table of contents of codes that NILL has available in print. Watch a 3 minute video demo on how to do this. A search for the phrase "court rules" may provide some relevant results.
