The goal of the Tribal Courts TTA Program is to provide assistance to tribes through training, technical assistance, and policy development as the tribes strategically develop, implement, enhance, and operate their court systems. The training and technical assistance also assists the tribes in developing and implementing strategic community-wide criminal justice system planning.
