For example, tribal elections, tribal citizenship requirements, and other tribal constitutional matters are common to the large majority of tribal nations. The Nutshell samples tribal governmental structures and the legal disputes that arise, as well as tribal civil rights laws, which tend to follow the model set by Congress in the Indian Civil Rights Act. The Nutshell delves into tribal immunity, business arrangements, child welfare, cultural property, criminal justice, and other substantive areas of law that are making creative advances in the development of law that are both unique to tribal nations but useful for Federal Indian Law practitioners and policymakers to understand"-- ER -
