Description

Jerry Loendorf reflects on growing up in Wolf Point, Montana, and he discusses interactions between white and Native people in Montana. Loendorf talks about going to college at Carroll College and later going to law school, and how after completing law school, he became a law clerk for Justice Wes Castles of the Montana Supreme Court. Also, he describes going into practice with Tom Harrison, and how early on, he drafted bills for the Legislative Counsel in Montana to supplement his income. This relationship with Loendorf’s law partner extends to how he ran Harrison’s campaign for the Montana state legislature, and how Harrison returned the favor when Loendorf ran for and won a seat serving in the Montana Constitutional Convention. And Loendorf describes his service with the convention’s Legislative Committee and the operations of the Montana Legislature, with regard to the provisions of the Constitutional Convention and the new Montana Constitution.
