PETERSBURG-AK The Chief Justice of Alaska’s Supreme Court joined many other state judges and more than a hundred Petersburg-area residents who turned out Friday to honor the town’s retiring magistrate during the Little Norway Festival.

But as Matt Lichtenstein reports, the event also served to highlight the key role that magistrates play in Alaska.
