The Tribal Judicial Center is the home of the Tribal Court of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. The Tribal Court is the system of courts and judges that interpret and enforce laws. It operates under a Constitution that was adopted and ratified by the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians on October 3,1950. The Tribal Court was created by the United Keetoowah Band to exercise its authority as a sovereign and to meet the needs of its members.

Petitioners may come to the Tribal Court to request legal remedies or redress grievances. The Tribal Court protects the interests of justice and equity while promoting the welfare and sovereignty of our Tribe and its citizens. The District Court hears civil, criminal, and juvenile matters, while the Supreme Court hears cases of appeals and other matters as may be conferred by statute. The UKB Tribal Court meets every third Friday of each month beginning at 11 a.m.
