It was announced in the September 2011 issue of “The Montana Lawyer” magazine that
Missoula attorney Rick Baskett also won the 2011 Haswell Award for his article “A second look at living trusts.” The article reported that the taboo against living trusts is being lifted, and the trusts are providing a good estate-planning alternative. It appeared in the May 2011 Montana Lawyer. Other Haswell finalists included: Missoula attorney Chuck Willey on “Solving Montana’s probate & civil hearing delays;” Livingston attorney Kendra Anderson on “A new player in the Swandal legacy of law;” and UM professor Eduardo Capulong and new UM Law grad Karen Alley, on “The Hendershott ruling.”
The Frank Haswell Award, named after a former Montana Supreme Court justice, is for the best article submitted during the past year to the State Bar’s monthly magazine, “The Montana Lawyer.”
