§3681 — Title 25 Indians | U.S. Code

Summary

The Attorney General can give grants and technical help to Indian tribes so they can build, improve, and keep running their justice systems.

The Attorney General may work with the Office of Tribal Justice and other tribal or federal officials and may write rules needed to run the program.
