This page introduces the twenty-four articles which have been appeared in The Alaska Bar Rag, which is published by the Alaska Bar Association. The first article was published in December, 2000. Each article is approximately 750 words. Because of the extremely compact format, I have revised some of the articles to expand on the points made and to provide (better) citations. A short critical apparatus is attached. Readers are invited to bring to my attention any errors.
If you would like to visit the private conference room of the Chief Justice of the United States, start at the beginning. You'll exit, as I did, through the conference room used by the Justices for their deliberations. You may enjoy the momentary confusion, as I did, when the Chief Justice asks me 'what law school do you teach at, Professor Aschenbrenner?' There is no law school in Alaska.
However, if there's one thing that Alaska needs, it's more lawyers.
