Todays Muscogee (Creek) courts stand on a rich history of civic development dating back to long before European immigration. Now a single governing body for the descendants of a confederacy that once comprised numerous towns of the Lower Creek and Upper Creek, the Muscogee Nation first established a modern, constitutional judicial branch in 1867.
In more than 150 years since the tribes jurisprudence was vested in a constitutionally-based court system, tribal government has survived determined efforts to disband and assimilate the original indigenous nations. The court today relies on timeless traditions reflected in modern tribal law, along with judicial practices adopted from other tribes and from non-tribal courts around the U.S. and around the world.
Among the traditions carried forward in todays tribal courts is a right to seek justice by telling ones own story. In modern jurisprudence, the right to trial includes a right to representation by skilled legal counsel. To fully realize members right to an attorney, the Muscogee Nation Supreme Court admits licensed attorneys to appear in Muscogee (Creek) Courts after vetting and approving an attorneys standing.
