The authors are particularly grateful to Peggy Ganyo, judicial secretary at the Supreme Court, for her patient translation of myriad scribbled drafts and revisions that built this article.We also thank Justice Carol Kapsner, who so kindly consented to Peggy’s long-running contribution to writing this history.
We recognize the inspiration of Sandi Tabor, State Bar Association of North Dakota executive director, who hopefully suggested this “short” history to help celebrate SBAND’s centennial in 1999.
The authors are indebted to many people for their kind assistance on parts of this article. Their thoughtful suggestions made this a better article.
