The National American Indian Court Judge's Association will hold its 40th Annual Meeting and Tribal Judicial Conference. The conference will be held the Isleta Hotel and Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our conference is the only conference of its kind dedicated to enhancing tribal courts and judges.
This year's NAICJA conference will be special as we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary and returning to our beginning roots in Albuquerque. This year the conference theme is "40 years of enhancing tribal justice".
In conjunction with the Annual Conference, NAICJA will host training sessions for tribal court clerks (click here to view the agenda). Tribal court clerks are a vital part of the tribal justice system. It is important that court clerks be informed and keep up-todate with developments in judicial decisions, ethics, and maintain a high quality of professionalism. NAICJA welcomes the tribal court clerks to our Annual Conference for the fourth year in a row. All tribal judges are encouraged to bring their court clerks.
The NAICJA conference will also be hosting a vendor exposition to allow NAICJA members the opportunity to learn about the latest in court technology and spend time meeting with vendors to explore possible courtroom solutions. Our Resource Center is sponsoring this part of the conference and it has become very popular with our attendees.
NAICJA chose Albuquerque as its new home in 2008. Recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the country, Albuquerque's ethnic tapestry is reflected in its architecture, artwork, cultural centers and cuisine. Countless customs and traditions passed down over generations are a vibrant part of daily life in the city, and make Albuquerque an epicenter of authentic Southwestern culture. Albuquerque's one-of-a-kind Southwestern culture is in everything, from the quaint shops, Pueblo- and Spanish-inspired architecture and world-famous cuisine, to the music and art. In every way possible, the past seamlessly weaves through the fabric of present-day Albuquerque, making it a truly culturally rich American destination.
Isleta Casino and Resort offers entertainment for the whole family, in addition to golf and gaming; other activities available include fishing, bowling, swimming, laser tag, spa services, and a recreational area for children.
