A Washington Motion to Transfer to Tribal Court is a legal document used to transfer a legal case originating in the state of Washington to a court of the federally recognized Native American tribe within the state. This motion is often used to resolve disputes between tribes and non-tribal members, or to address civil matters that involve tribal members. There are two types of Washington Motion to Transfer to Tribal Court: a Request for Transfer and a Notice of Transfer. A Request for Transfer is a motion that is filed with the state court by an interested party, such as a tribal member, requesting that the case be transferred to the jurisdiction of the tribal court. A Notice of Transfer is a document filed by the state court with the tribal court, notifying the tribal court of the transfer and the reasons for it. Both types of motions require approval from the state court before the case is transferred.
