What is the difference between a Code and a Rule of Procedure?

The Hopi Law and Order Code contains the laws enacted by the Tribal Council, while the Rules of Civil Procedure govern the step-by-step process for handling a case in the Hopi Tribal Courts.

Can I request a legal document that is not listed here?

Yes. If you cannot find a specific filing or public record, you may submit a request through the Hopi Tribal Court Clerk’s Office . Please note that sensitive or sealed case files are not available in the public library.

Are these documents the most recent versions?

We strive to keep this digital library up to date with the latest amendments. Each document includes an “Effective Date” to ensure you are referencing the current law of the Hopi Tribe.
