The court operates under the Zuni Tribal Constitution and federal laws, often blending traditional customs with modern legal practices. Its goal is to promote justice, uphold tribal sovereignty, and resolve conflicts fairly within the community. The court may hear criminal, civil, or family cases, and its decisions can impact individuals’ rights and the community’s well-being.
