Smoke Signals 1 1 SEPTEMBER 1,2013 TRIBAL COURT ORDINANCE OPEN FOR COMMENT The Tribal Council is considering adoption of amendments to the Tribal Court Ordinance. The proposed amendments were given a First Reading at the June 19, 2013, Tribal Council meeting. A summary of the substantive amendments under consideration are: 1. Qualifications for Judges: The current Ordinance requires judges to be members of the Oregon State Bar. The proposed amendment would require judges to be members of the CTGR Bar as well as members of the Oregon State Bar or any other state bar that grants reciprocity, to broaden the Court's ability to recruit qualified judges. 2. Development of Tribal Court Bar: The Tribal Court Ordinance currently provides that any attorney who is admitted to the bar of any state may provide counsel to a party in Tribal Court. At present, the Court has limited remedies with respect to attorney discipline. The establishment of a Tribal Court Bar will allow for the establish ment of standards, as well as the formation of a Bar Commission to address concerns regarding attorney conduct. The Tribal Council invites comments on the proposed amendments to the Tribal Court Ordinance. For a copy of the proposed amend ments, please contact the Tribal Attorney's Office at 503-879-4664. Please send your comments to the Tribal Attorney's Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, Ore., 97347 or by e-mail to legal grandronde.org. Comments must be received by Sept. 16, 2013.
