    systems that address civil and criminal causes of action under the 
    jurisdiction of Indian tribes.
        (3) To strengthen tribal governments and the economies of Indian 
    tribes through the enhancement and, where appropriate, development 
    of tribal court systems for the administration of justice in Indian 
    country by providing technical and legal assistance services.
        (4) To encourage collaborative efforts between national or 
    regional membership organizations and associations whose membership 
    consists of judicial system personnel within tribal justice systems; 
    non-profit entities which provide legal assistance services for 
    Indian tribes, members of Indian tribes, and/or tribal justice 
    systems.
        (5) To assist in the development of tribal judicial systems by 
    supplementing prior congressional efforts such as the Indian Tribal 
    Justice Act [25 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.] (Public Law 103-176).
