Traditional Rights Court
Determines questions of customary land tenure and title.
What this authority does
A constitutionally established court whose determinations on custom, land tenure and traditional title are referred to it by the High Court. Marshallese land is held under a customary system of iroij, alap and dri jerbal interests and is not freely alienable, so almost every significant land question passes through this court.
