July–December 2013
This report was prepared by Jimmy Steyee, CSR, Incorporated under contract #GS-10F-0114L from the Bureau of
Justice Assistance.
Program Performance Report
• Page 1 •
The Tribal Civil and Criminal Legal Assistance (TCCLA) Program, administered by the Bureau of Justice
Assistance (BJA), was created to enhance the operations of and improve access to tribal justice systems. The
program also offers training and technical assistance (TTA) for development and enhancement of tribal justice
systems. Funding is awarded in three categories: (1) Tribal Civil Legal Assistance, (2) Tribal Criminal Legal
Assistance, and (3) Tribal Justice Training and Technical Assistance.
Authorized by 25 U.S.C. 3651, et seq. (Public Law 106-559), the TCCLA program awards are targeted to nonprofit
organizations with 501(c)(3) tax status, including tribal enterprises that serve to strengthen and improve the
representation of indigent defendants in criminal cases and indigent respondents in civil causes of action under the
jurisdiction of Indian tribes. Grantees were awarded TCCLA funds during federal fiscal years (FY) 2010–2013
(Table 1).

2010 $3,182,271
2011 2,436,221
2012 1,787,659
2013 1,900,000
Total $9,306,151
Over $9 million in Federal TCCLA funds have been awarded since 2010.
For the purposes of this report, only grants awarded in FY 2010 through FY 2012 were examined, because the FY
2013 awards had not yet become operational. Awards were made to grantees providing either criminal or civil legal
services or offering TTA services.
From July–December 2013, TCCLA grantees with open and active awards submitted performance data in the
Performance Measurement Tool (PMT). This Program Performance Report (PPR) is divided into three sections: (1)
hiring personnel and legal code development, (2) civil legal assistance services, and (3) criminal legal assistance
services. The following is based on self-reported data from grantees and subgrantees for the July–September 2013
and October–December 2013 quarters that have active awards. Table 2 shows the number of operational awards
and subgrantee awards by quarter.
Table 2. Operational TCCLA Grants and Subgrantees: July–December 2013
Quarter Grantee Awards
Subgrantee Awards* Total
July–September 2013 5 52 57
October–December 2013 4 43 47
* One grantee manages all of the subgrantee awards in this program. Subgrantee funds
are awarded to state Indian Legal Services programs, which are then used to offer legal assistance services to tribes and tribal members.
An award is considered operational for PMT reporting purposes if the grantee or subgrantee used BJA program
funds to perform grant activities that were outlined in their application. Overall, during the two quarters examined,
the number of grantees reporting data decreased from 5 to 4 and the number of subgrantee awards decreased from
52 to 43.

Hiring Personnel and Legal Code Development
Hiring Personnel
Program funds may be used to hire or contract with staff to offer legal services or to manage and coordinate the
program. Table 3 shows the number of grantees that hired or contracted with individuals to offer legal assistance
during the reporting periods examined.
Table 3. Number of Grantees and Subgrantees that Hired or Retained Employees, Recruited Unpaid Volunteers, or Signed Contracts with Any Individuals to Offer Legal Assistance: July–December 2013
Quarter Frequency Percentage
July–September 2013 (N=57) 26 46%
October–December 2013 (N=47) 18 38%
During the July–September 2013 quarter, almost half (46 percent) of the grantees and subgrantees hired personnel;
this decreased to 38 percent during the next quarter. Table 4 shows the number of individuals hired or contracted.

Of the 50 part-time employees, 33 (66 percent) are attorneys.
Other personnel paid for with TCCLA program funds include administrative assistants, paralegals, and lay
advocates, among a few others.
Legal Code Development
Grantees may also use funds to assist tribes with legal code development and revision, with the intent of
strengthening tribal justice systems. Table 5 shows the number of tribes that worked on updating or developing
tribal law codes or policies.

*Some tribes may be double counted in this quarter if they worked on developing legal codes in both quarters.
Overall, 22 new civil and criminal codes were implemented and 77 updated or amended civil and criminal
codes were added.
Civil Legal Assistance – Direct Legal Services to Individuals
Grantees and subgrantees offer civil legal assistance services to individuals who qualify for the aid. Working with
attorneys and Indian Legal Services agencies, individuals apply for legal services. Table 6 shows the number of
active grantees or subgrantees that offered civil legal services during the 2 quarters.
Table 6. Number of Grantees or Subgrantees Offering Civil Legal Services: July–December 2013
Quarter Frequency Percent
July–September 2013 (N=27) 23 85%
October–December 2013 (N=24) 20 83%
Of the grantees or subgrantees that received BJA funds to offer civil legal services, 83 percent to 85 percent
were active in July–December 2013.
Grantees or subgrantees offering legal assistance services receive requests from individuals, who are then assessed
for eligibility to receive those services. Some individuals are ineligible because they do not meet tribal enrollment
or financial requirements, or their legal case does not meet the requirements for assistance. Table 7 shows the
number of new cases, the number of potential clients requesting assistance, and the number of those who were
found ineligible.
Table 7. Number of New Civil Cases, Clients Found Ineligible, and Clients Who Applied for Civil Legal Assistance: July–December 2013

Clients Who Applied for Civil Legal Assistance 1,680 73.0 893 44.7 2,573
Clients Found Ineligible (%) 33% 74% 47.1%
Overall, over 500 new civil cases were given legal assistance during the 6-month period examined. This
equates to about 14 new cases per grantee in July–September 2013 and 10 in October–December 2013.
The percentage of clients found ineligible increased from 33 percent in July–September 2013 to 74 percent
in October–December 2013.

Figure 1 shows the court jurisdiction of 517 new civil cases.
Figure 1. Total New Civil Cases by Court Jurisdiction: July–December 2013
About 78 percent of new civil cases are in the adult tribal court’s jurisdiction, with an additional 7 percent
in the juvenile tribal court jurisdiction.
About 12 percent of cases are in adult state courts.
In addition to the new cases taken on by grantees and subgrantees, ongoing cases account for most legal cases
worked on by grant-funded staff. Table 8 shows the total number of cases worked on by grantees during the two
reporting periods, the total number of cases closed, and the number of staff hours worked.

*Some cases are double counted when they are worked on in both quarters.
On average, the number of civil cases per grantee increased slightly to 57.6 (October–December 2013)
from 53.7 (July–September 2013), despite a drop in the total number of cases from 1,235 to 1,152.
Overall, grantees and subgrantees closed 473 civil cases during the 6-month period.
Staff worked over 10,700 hours giving legal assistance on civil matters.
Figure 2 shows the distribution of the 473 closed civil cases in July–December 2013. Cases are considered closed
for many reasons (Figure 3).

Figure 2. Closed Civil Cases by Case Type: July–December 2013
The most common type of civil case closed includes family cases, such as divorce or adult guardianship.
Family cases closed are followed by juvenile cases closed, such as child support, custody, paternity, and
neglect.
Figure 3. Closed Civil Cases by Closure Reason: July–December 2013
Over 28 percent of civil cases were closed with “limited action,” meaning the TCCLA-funded attorney or
staff person took limited action(s) on behalf of the client that addressed the client’s uncomplicated legal
problem. Examples include drafting a letter, or communicating by other means with a third party; or
preparing a simple legal document.
Twenty-two percent of the cases were closed with “counsel and advice.” This means that the lawyer
ascertained and reviewed relevant facts, exercised judgment in interpreting the particular facts presented by
the client and in applying the relevant laws the facts presented, and counseled the client concerning his or
her legal problem.

Criminal Legal Assistance- Direct Individual Indigent Defense Services
Grantees and subgrantees also offer criminal legal assistance services to individuals who qualify for the aid.
Working with attorneys and Indian Legal Services agencies, individuals apply for legal assistance services on
criminal matters. Table 9 shows the number of active grantees or subgrantees offering criminal legal assistance
services during the two quarters.
Table 9. Number of Grantees and Subgrantees Offering Criminal Legal Services: July–December 2013
Quarter Frequency Percent
July–September 2013 (N=30) 28 93%
October–December 2013 (N=23) 21 91%
The number of grantees or subgrantees using BJA funds for criminal legal assistance services decreased
from 28 in July–September 2013 to 21 in October–December 2013.
As previously mentioned, grantees and subgrantees offering legal assistance services receive requests from
individuals, who are then assessed for eligibility to receive those services. Again, some individuals are ineligible
because they do not meet tribal enrollment or financial requirements, or their legal case does not meet the
requirements for assistance. Table 10 shows the number of defendants requesting criminal legal assistance and the
number of those individuals found ineligible.

1,455 individuals requested criminal legal assistance services. This averages to about 30 potential
defendant applicants per grantee or subgrantee per quarter.
687 (47 percent) of those individuals were found ineligible.
Table 11 shows the new cases given criminal legal assistance services during July–December 2013 by case type
(felony or misdemeanor).

On average, each grantee or subgrantee took on about 15 new criminal cases this quarter.
About 97 percent of these cases were misdemeanors.
Figure 4 shows the new criminal cases by court jurisdiction.
Figure 4. New Criminal Cases by Court Jurisdiction: July–December 2013
About 96 percent of the criminal cases given legal assistance services with BJA funds are in a tribal
court—85 percent in adult tribal court and 11 percent in juvenile tribal court.

In over 38 percent of the closed criminal cases, a plea deal was reached.
In almost 20 percent of the closed criminal cases, the closure reason was listed as “other.”
Client/Defendant Satisfaction
Grant-funded attorneys are asked to have their clients rate their overall satisfaction with the legal services they
received (Table 13). Client/defendant participation in the survey is voluntary, resulting in low response rates.
Table 13. Individuals Who Assessed Legal Services as Satisfactory or Better: July–December 2013
Quarter
Number of Individuals Who Assessed Legal
Services They Received
Number of Individuals Who Rated Legal Services as
Satisfactory or Better Satisfactory or Better (%)
July–September 2013 (N=22) 137 135 98.5%
October–December 2013 (N=23) 100 98 98.0%
Of the 1,446 closed civil and criminal cases, 237 clients assessed the legal services they received by
participating in the survey.
Of those clients, over 98 percent thought the legal assistance they received was satisfactory or better.
These results must be interpreted with caution due to the low response rate. The overall satisfaction rate
may not reflect all individuals who received legal assistance services under the TCCLA program.
Observations
The intent of the TCCLA program is to enhance tribal justice systems and improve access to those systems. This is
accomplished by improving the representation of indigent defendants in criminal cases and indigent respondents in
civil causes of action under the jurisdiction of Indian tribes. The PMT data suggests that BJA is meeting the intent
of the legislation. The following key observations drawn from the PMT data show support for the goals of the
program.
1,251 new civil and criminal cases were given legal assistance during the 6-month period examined.
1,446 civil and criminal cases were closed during the 6-month period examined.
23,205 hours of legal assistance were given to civil clients and defendants during the 6-month period. This
is equivalent to about 22 full-time employees.
