Legal Professionals Who Are Subject to Tribal Jurisdiction

The following who practice law in any form (attorneys, judges, justices, lobbyists or giving any legal advice on anything) on tribal land are subject to tribal criminal jurisdiction (if I missed any, please let me know):
* Hannah Smith
* Anita Johnson
* Robert O. Saunooke
* Patrick Lambert
* Kirk Saunooke
* Brenda Toineeta-Pipestem
* Wilson Pipestem
* William Boyum
Should Judge Bradley B. Letts return to practice law on tribal land, he also would be subject to tribal criminal jurisdiction. Any legal advice given by someone who isn't subject to the tribe's criminal jurisdiction should be taken cautiously, and a second opinion would be highly recommended.

Annette may not be liable in our courts but she has to answer to the Bar Association for any ethical issues. Additionally, any tribal member may invoke their duel citizenship in any federal court at any time.
