There was a very famous judge thee in the 60's and he handled many cases that broke new ground. Sometimes his courtroom was on the airplane or out side. there have been many negotiations and still more to come. I highly recommend northern experience. There really isn't isolation anymore but isolation was one of the extra kickers.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-24223810652726175052012-02-03T19:52:05.961-07:002012-02-03T19:52:05.961-07:00Red, my hubby worked as a lawyer for the federal D...Red, my hubby worked as a lawyer for the federal Dept. of Justice, and later as a negotiator for the Dept. of Indian and Northern Affairs (now he's back to practicing law as a sole practitioner.) He didn't spent long periods up north, but he went up to do some trials, and later to do some things related to treaty negotiations. He loved it up there. We were considering a move to Whitehorse at one point but that didn't pan out. I'm kind of wistful about it!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-68966648424056562962012-02-03T19:17:53.293-07:002012-02-03T19:17:53.293-07:00Kathryn, I did see the movie "I heard the Owl...Kathryn, I did see the movie "I heard the Owl call my Name" I also read the book.
