A new program has begun in Western Washington that will train tribal members of local Indian tribes how to serve as advocates in tribal courts. The program is called Tribal Advocates Training Program and is administrated by the Northwest Intertribal Court System (NICS), a 15 member trib al consortium , in La Conner, Washington. It is aimed at reducing tribal d e p e n d e n c e o n o u ts id e professionals for the staffing and operation of tribal courts. The goal is to create a “tribal bar” of trained lay advocates who can serve the legal needs of their communities in tribal courts. Funding is being sough to add an apprenticeship component that would alio", s t u d e n t s to o b t a i n community college degree ii paralegal studies while working part-time in tribal courts. “ We hope to train at least 30 people from the tribes,” said Joseph, “so that by the end ol the year we will have ten O’ more tribal members who, car, provide skilled representation in our courts.” For further information contact Ted Maloney, NICS Training Coordinator, P.O.
