Alaska Employment Law

Gov. Palin selects Dan Winfree to fill Bryner-Rabinowitz seat 

Dan Winfree is the 19th Justice of the Alaska Supreme Court.  His Biographical Statement to the Judicial Council is as follows:

I’m a third-generation Fairbanksan, born in Territorial Alaska, raised by the Golden Rule and the Code of the North, and encouraged to make a difference.

In 1981, I left University of California, Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law and Graduate School of Business with a J.D./MBA. I started with a national law firm in Anchorage, was a solo in Valdez, and for 20 years have been in solo/small-firm settings in Fairbanks. I’m now Executive Director/General Counsel for The Fairbanks Hospital Foundation, and I look back on 25 years of broad civil practice, 13 years of Bar service (9 on the Board of Governors, 4 on the Bar Foundation), and many fascinating experiences as a lawyer in Alaska.

I made a difference for clients, and now I’d like to make a difference for all of Alaska by serving on the Supreme Court.

Winfree’s chambers will be in the Rabinowitz Courthouse in Fairbanks.
