Major Swanson speaks

The new issue of Minnesota Lawyer features Dan Heilman’s interview with my colleague Peter Swanson. Peter has answered the call to return to duty as a JAG attorney in Baghdad. Minnesota Lawyer has kindly posted the interview on its blog here. Heilman’s intro states that Peter has been “called up.” From conversations with Peter before his return to duty, my understanding is that Peter volunteered for duty in Iraq in response to a recent appeal from the Army. He had not responded to previous appeals that did not involve service in Iraq. We noted Peter’s return to service in “A salute to Major Swanson.”
