Description

Jennie and Terry speak with Sean Parnell, former Lt. Governor of Alaska, former Governor of Alaska, current Chancellor of UAA, and former practicing attorney in Alaska. We discuss ethics in the legal profession, including some characteristics unique to Alaska (such as working in a young state without a lot of settled legal precedent). We then discuss the ethics that executives have to follow, including another former politician's take on the role of lobbyists. If you've never heard of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act, learn about it here!
