The American Probation and Parole Association, in partnership with the Tribal Judicial Institute and the National Tribal Judicial Center, received funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance in 2012 to develop and deliver training and technical assistance related to tribal civil and criminal court procedures. In order to be responsive to the needs of tribes, APPA, TJI, and NTJC is conducting a training needs assessment to gauge needs specific to Enhanced Sentencing Authority, Indigent Defense, and Concurrent Jurisdiction.
