In case some of you are scratching your head, wondering why so much about the Navajo Nation, it is because I live here and have for the last two and a half years. I moved to the Navajo Nation following law school because, well I was offered a position that would allow me to work and assist people right out of law school, while awaiting my (favorable) California bar results. It is a running joke with my firm because I originally committed to be here until Thanksgiving of 2008 when results came out, but am still with the firm two years later. CA or DC are the next whereto (hopefully), but until something opens up, I am located within the Navajo Nation working, observing and blogging away.
