UNM Indian Law maintains a Resources page that includes links to many established Indian law organizations and institutions as well as links to various on-line Indian law research materials.

American Indian Law Center, Inc.

The American Indian Law Center, Inc. (AILC) is the oldest existing Indian-controlled and operated legal and public policy organization in the country. AILC offers a pre-law program to Native American students through its Pre-Law Summer Institute for American Indians and Alaska Natives (PLSI). AILC's Southwest Intertribal Court of Appeals (SWITCA) serves as a tribal appellate court and provides member tribes with research, training and technical assistance. AILC and the UNM Indian Law Program collaborate on projects, teaching and training.

American Indian Graduate Center, Inc.

The American Indian Graduate Center, Inc., administers all the postgraduate education funding for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
