Navigating McGirt: Choosing Between State and Tribal Court
Hi there, this is Jay Bills, the Okmulgee attorney. I’m here today to talk to you about a significant legal development called McGirt that has been impacting criminal cases in our area over the past five to seven years. McGirt specifically addresses the jurisdictional boundaries of Native American tribes and the implications it has on criminal proceedings.
If you are a member of one of the recognized tribes, such as the five civilized tribes or any other tribes recognized under McGirt, it is crucial to understand whether it is in your best interest to have your case heard in state court or tribal court. The decision to move the case from one court to another depends on various factors, including the nature of the charges you are facing and the potential outcomes that can be achieved in each court system.
When it comes to determining the appropriate court for your case, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney who is familiar with tribal law and has expertise in navigating the complexities of McGirt. As a member of the Muskogee Creek Nation Bar, I possess a deep understanding of tribal jurisdiction and can provide valuable guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.
