ITR: Tribal Law Enhancement Project

这是爱达荷大学与国家司法学院和国家部落司法中心合作的多学科项目，旨在通过建立一个全国性的、可上网的部落法院意见、部落法典和宪法以及相关法律资料的电子数据库，提高对美洲印第安部落系统法律资料的获取。最终的产品，部落法律记者数字图书馆，将完全可以搜索和访问，通过其自己的网址，并通过超链接从网页维护的国家部落司法中心，国家司法学院和爱达荷大学。除了设计、创建、更新和维护项目数据库、搜索引擎和网络界面之外，项目参与者还将与部落法院和理事会签订合同协议，以获得通过项目数字图书馆提供其法院判决、法规和宪法的许可。其他法律材料，包括选定的联邦和州法院关于联邦印第安人法律、条约以及影响印第安人权利和部落治理的美国法定和监管条款的意见，将通过数字图书馆完善法律材料。此外，项目参与者将向部落法院法官和部落理事会成员提供关于使用数据库和更广泛地进行法律研究方面的培训。

This multidisciplinary project at the University of Idaho, in cooperation with The National Judicial College and The National Tribal Justice Center, aims to enhance access to the legal materials of American Indian tribal systems through creation of a nationwide, web-accessible electronic database of tribal court opinions, tribal codes and constitutions, and related legal materials. The resultant product, the Tribal Law Reporter digital library, will be fully searchable and accessible on the worldwide web through its own web address and by hyperlink from web pages maintained by The National Tribal Justice Center, and The National Judicial College, and the University of Idaho. In addition to designing, creating, updating, and maintaining the project database, search engine, and web interface, the project participants will enter into contractual agreements with tribal courts and councils for permission to make their court decisions, codes and constitutions available through the project digital library. Other legal materials, including selected federal and state court opinions addressing federal Indian law, treaties, and United States Statutory and regulatory provisions affecting Indian rights and tribal governance will round out the legal materials accessible through the digital library. In addition, the project participants will provide training in the use of the database and in conducting legal research more generally to tribal court judges and members of tribal councils.
