About Me

Well, until rather recently I was an appellate defender in St. Louis, MO, but now I am working for Westlaw in Minneapolis as an attorney editor. Less stress for sure, but I seriously miss practicing. I just got married in June, and my husband will be starting law school at University of Minnesota in a few weeks. That's right. Two lawyers under one roof.Come visit my knitting blog!!!
