4.6.1.030 Findings

The Council hereby finds and declares that:

(a) The 60-day trial date deadline is an insufficient amount of time to allow parties adequate opportunity to prepare for trial;

(b) Due to the short deadline set for trial, cases or matters are often dismissed after the 60-day trial deadline passes;

(c) The Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the Tribe and for the administration of justice to extend the trial date deadline to allow parties sufficient time to prepare for trial and to avoid dismissal of cases that should go to trial. .
