The Tribal Law and Policy Institute has updated the OJJDP-funded "Tribal Legal Code Resource: Guide for Drafting or Revising Tribal Juvenile Delinquency and Status Offense Laws." This resource is designed to assist Tribal communities with creating, re-evaluating, and strengthening their juvenile codes.
This 2022 update provides a starting point for drafting or revising Tribal juvenile justice laws, highlights federal and state law considerations, and includes provisions from model codes and existing Tribal juvenile codes.
