Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals the Court admonished the tribal defender because when the Court reviewed the underlying case file, there were not any briefs filed by counsel for the defendant in support of his appeal to the Court to review. Lawyers owe a duty of care to their clients and this blatant disregard for the Court and his clients caused irreparable harm to his clients. Prosecutor is directed to summon the defendant and make arrangements for payment of the fine.
