Public Defense

: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, geez.  I am 89 days from Alaska.  The last few months have been insane.  We had a major brain injury trial that was supposed to be tried in November but the fires delayed it. That trial is almost all consuming.  I cannot overstate that. Trial prep for that case ALONE is 4-6 hours a day for both Jeremy and I.  We have an enormous amount of time and money into it, with an uncertain future (as all trials are in advance).  Now, we need to add to the pile.  Making arrangements for the move- this includes things like booking the ferry, making sure vehicles are serviced, arranging for pets and the like.  Making arrangements for the house build - arranging contractors, power etc.  Building the house - cutting the timbers, gathering timbers, making the mortises and tenons etc. Figuring out what to do with the practice here.  Still practicing criminal law.  Packing and moving.  Making not one but TWO TV shows about my life. Being a dad to three kids.
