Nndoj

The Navajo Nation Department of Justice (NNDOJ) serves as the legal arm of the Navajo Nation government, offering comprehensive legal services across its three branches, including chapters and various entities. Tasked with initiating and defending litigation on behalf of the Navajo Nation, the department also supervises external attorneys engaged in legal matters related to the Nation's interests.

Under the leadership of the Acting Attorney General, Heather L. Clah, who has held the position since January 2023, the NNDOJ ensures legal representation for the government while excluding individual tribal members unless they are sued in their official capacities. The department’s mission aligns with the Navajo Nation's commitment to upholding justice and maintaining its sovereignty.
