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).

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 112 full-time employees, 68 (61 percent) are attorneys.

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.

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.

Another 20 percent of cases were classified in the “other closure reason” category.

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.

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

As previously noted, cases are closed for many reasons. Figure 5 shows the distribution of closed criminal cases by

closure type.

Figure 5. Closed Criminal Cases by Closure Reason: July–December 2013

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

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.
