34 Alaska L. Rev. i (2017)

handle is hein.journals/allr34 and id is 1 raw text is: NOTE FROM THE EDITOR The Alaska Law Review is pleased to present our June 2017 issue, the first in our thirty-fourth volume. We are gratified to be able to share with you this new issue, which features three Articles and two student Notes. These pieces touch on a variety of legal issues that are currently significant for Alaska, from pretrial diversions to the Permanent Fund Dividend to public school funding. Our first Article, titled The Anchorage, Alaska Municipal Pretrial Diversion Program: An Initial Assessment, is written by Cory R. Lepage and Jeff D. May. Dr. Lepage is an assistant professor in the Justice Center at the University of Alaska Anchorage; Mr. May serves on the faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Justice Program. Analyzing in depth the success of the Anchorage Pretrial Diversion Program, Dr. Lepage and Mr. May determine that the program is both efficient and cost saving, suggesting that it should be considered for use on a more widespread level as a resource saving alternative to current methods. Our second Article, titled Truth and Reconciliation Commissions: A Needed Force in Alaska?, is written by Heather Parker, a graduate of the Williamette University College of Law and a clerk for Judge Philip Pallenberg, who serves on the Juneau Superior Court. Describing the use of truth and reconciliation commissions throughout the United States and other countries, Ms. Parker considers the implementation of such commissions in Alaska, ultimately arguing that they could be valuable for improving both transparency and dialogue. Our third Article is written by Ashley K. Sundquist, a recent graduate of the University of Missouri School of Law and an upcoming clerk for Judge Sharon Gleason, who serves on the United States District Court for the District of Alaska. In her Article, titled The Economic Loss Doctrine in Alaska and the Design Professional Exception, Ms. Sundquist starts with an overview of the economic loss doctrine in Alaska, identifying the two main exceptions currently provided by Alaskan courts: the design professional exception and the independent duty exception. Ms. Sunduqist concludes that the design professional exception causes inconsistent results, and that the independent duty exception should instead be applied equally across all professions. Along with these three articles, the Alaska Law Review is happy to include two student Notes, both written by current members of our journal. Our first student Note, written by Eli Kozminsky, is entitled Children and Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend: Reasons for Rethinking
