Tribal Law Specialist, Catherine Retana at TLPI arrived in Seattle, WA early to attend 2024 Emerging Issues Conference. She met with Yakama Tribal Court staff and they shared that they will be hiring four court clerks and would like to get training. Catherine let them know that she and NAICJA would be their TA Coach and could discuss training. She provided her contact information and shared the welcome letter again. They wanted to know if they could hire a consultant to training their tribal clerk since they already have all of their tribal code. Catherine was going to look at their grant documents to see if training was mentioned. They also wanted to know if GAM is needed to update their salary increases of .50 cents at the start of 2024. They need to update the salaries for judges and court clerk. They want to hire a judge and a bailiff as well. Catherine will follow up regarding grant questions, virtual kick off and future court clerk training.
