The purpose of this chapter is to create a judicial system sanctioned by Tribal government for the purpose of the resolution of disputes which may arise from time to time within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Yurok Tribe. From time immemorial discord has had occasion to arise among the people, those belonging to the Tribe and those who are under the jurisdiction of the Tribe for various reasons. It has always been the intention of the people to resolve disputes and return all the people to harmony. This chapter seeks to formalize a uniform process designed to resolve those disputes which arise within the jurisdiction of the Yurok Tribe. This chapter will establish the Court’s jurisdiction and structure. [Ord. 17, adopted, 3/26/2008.]
