Tribal In-house Counsel Association
About Tribal In-house Counsel Association
Tribal In-house Counsel Association is a non-profit 501(c)(6) organization. TICA was created for purposes of providing resources and networking opportunities to tribal in-house practitioners.
Geared toward providing service and resources to attorneys who provide legal services directly to Tribes and Tribal Governments, the Tribal In-house Counsel Association (TICA) connects members and provides both a forum and community for Tribal Government legal issues.
TICA was formed in 2012 out of the growing Tribal in-house type of practice structure. More and more Tribes find either through governmental need or for cost-effective solutions that they need an internal legal structure in addition to any law firm issue-specific representation. While there are several legal associations geared for Tribal practitioners in general, TICA focuses on issues and practices specific and unique to lawyers employed directly by a Tribal Government, Tribal Enterprise, or other similar entity.
