Indian tribal governments. These grants
are for providing direct legal services to
victims of domestic violence, sexual
assault, and stalking in matters arising

providing enhanced training for lawyers
representing these victims. The goal of
the Program is to develop innovative,
collaborative projects that provide
quality representation to victims of
domestic violence, sexual assault, and
stalking.
