Held on September 25, 2024 The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI), in collaboration with our training and technical assistance partners – the UND School of Law – Tribal Judicial Institute (TJI) hosted a webinar: Lessons from the Field: Insights from a Tribal Prosecutor, presented by Alfred Urbina, former Attorney General, Tribal Judge, and Tribal Prosecutor for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. This webinar was an engaging and informative session with Mr. Urbina as he shared valuable lessons learned throughout his distinguished career as a Tribal prosecutor. Drawing from his extensive experience, Mr. Urbina explored the unique challenges and opportunities faced in Tribal justice systems, discussing the incorporation of alternatives to detention, and offering insights from a Tribal prosecutor’s perspective on the incorporation of traditional and restorative justice practices in the Pascua Yaqui Tribal justice system. Participants gained a deeper understanding of the complexities of prosecuting in Tribal jurisdictions and learned about best practices for fostering justice and community empowerment within Tribal communities while promoting healing, accountability, and community cohesion.
