TCT.5.1.030 Laws Applicable to Administrative Appeals

In all administrative appeals, the Tribal Court shall first apply the Tribal ordinance authorizing the administrative appeal, then any other applicable Tribal law as well as any applicable federal laws and regulations. Where Tribal law and applicable federal laws are silent, the Tribal Court may look to federal court authority from the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, or from any federal district court in Wisconsin, subject to modification by the Tribal Court, if necessary, to reflect the customs, traditions, values, and policies of the Tribe. The Tribal Court may of its own motion or that of a Party, adopt any other source of law as persuasive authority and may apply any such source with or without modification.
