A Tribal Presentation

On Friday, July 11th, 2014, the JSLS welcomed guest speaker Judge Ronald Yockim from the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians to share about his role as a tribal court judge.  He shared with us the history of the formation and confederation of the Cow Creek tribe, a history of the tribal court, and what types of cases come before him.  He described the differences between the tribal court he presides over and other courts in the area, and described the relationship between the tribal court and the tribal council.  He also discussed generally the economics and benefits of providing social services to tribal members.
