Following the Success of the Lessons from the masters program at the 2006 Annual Meeting, the Idaho State Bar again invited three living legends of the Idaho law  to comment on significant cases in Idaho history. First, Justice Byron Johnson will explain how one of the most riveting chapters in Idaho’s rich legal heritage – the 1907 trial of “Big Bill” Haywood for the murder of Idaho Governor Frank Steunenbert – remains relevant to today’s practitioners. Next, Raymond C. Givens, Coeur d’Alene, will discuss Idaho v. U.S. and Coeur d’Alene Tribe. Finally, Our third master, Paul L. (Larry) Westberg of Boise, will discuss two rare “civil murder” cases, involving the Slayer Statute.
