And right alongside them were judges and lawyers, working first to establish the rule of law in the territory, then, later, laying the groundwork for statehood. [This book is a] collection of stories ranging from the gold rush to the 1950s. Built on interviews and oral histories from more than fifty lawyers who worked in Alaska before 1959, and buttressed by research into legal history, the book offers a ... portrait of law in the territory--from laying the groundwork for strong civil and criminal law to helping to secure mining and fishing rights to the Alaska Court-Bar fight, which pitted Alaska's community of lawyers against its nascent Supreme Court. Bringing to life a time long past--when some of the best lawyers had little formal legal education--[this book] fills ... a part of the story of Alaska's history."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLawyers$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00994346 606 $aLaw$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00993678 606 $aLaw$zAlaska$vAnecdotes 606 $aLawyers$zAlaska$vBiography 606 $aLaw$zAlaska$xHistory 607 $aAlaska$2fast 607 $aAlaska$xHistory$y1867-1959 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aAnecdotes. 615 7$aLawyers. 615 7$aLaw. 615 0$aLaw 615 0$aLawyers 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 676 $a349.798 700 $aCravez$b Pamela$01801415 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960296503321 996 $aThe Biggest Damned Hat$94346615 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01513oas 22006251a 450 001 9910678432803321 005 20250921213016.0 035 $a(OCoLC)60615731 035 $a(CONSER)sn2006001099 035 $a(CKB)110978977281776 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978977281776 100 $a20050614a19139999 sy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Metal bulletin 210 $a[London] $c[Metal Information Bureau] 300 $aPublisher: Metal Bulletin Journals, Ltd., <1 Nov. 1990-> 311 08$a0026-0533 606 $aMetals$vPeriodicals 606 $aMetals 606 $aMetals 606 $aMe?taux 606 $aMe?taux$vPe?riodiques 606 $ametal$2aat 606 $aMetals$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01018047 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aMetals 615 0$aMetals. 615 2$aMetals. 615 6$aMe?taux. 615 6$aMe?taux 615 7$ametal. 615 7$aMetals. 712 02$aMetal Information Bureau (London, England) 801 0$bOCLCS 801 1$bOCLCS 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCE 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bSRU 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bOCLCL 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910678432803321 996 $aThe Metal bulletin$92358991 997 $aUNINA
