It is publication day for "The Rural Lawyer"!
This book was such a joy to write. This project started with roadtrips to rural law offices to interview lawyers. I learned so much about the rural practice of law and am thrilled to share my findings.

We swung back through Sisseton today tying up loose ends on my research about rural lawyers. Can’t believe it’s been almost two years of visiting, talking to, and writing about rural lawyers. I’ve learned so much & cannot wait to share it all soon!

We’re back in rural South Dakota today meeting with lawyers and soaking up some warm spring sun and these lovely views.
We’re heading out for a big research trip to meet with rural lawyers across South Dakota. Follow along as we go from the SE corner (Vermillion) to the NW corner (Buffalo) with several stops along the way.
I’m starting a research project that will have me visiting about 20 small South Dakota towns to meet with rural lawyers. My husband is joining to be the photographer.
First up was Burke, population 604.
Town #21 on our rural lawyer tour of South Dakota was Wessington Springs, population 956. This was a lovely town to visit. County seat, a cannon on display, a really cool old post office, and an awesome lunch spot.
Buffalo, population 346, was town #22 on our rural lawyer interview tour of South Dakota. Pretty likely our last town, Buffalo has cattle guards everywhere and oil fields nearby. The lawyer’s office has the coolest antique cabinet that was built to hold legal forms.
