In his letter to Alaska Attorney General Mike Geraghty, AAG Tony West notes that the State of Alaska is legally obligated under federal law to honor tribal-court protection orders, regardless of whether those orders were previously registered or filed in State court. He further offers assistance to bring the State into compliance with Federal law.
