The landlord/tenant guide grew out of volunteer work Prof. Fortson did in developing the "Housing" chapter for the Alaska Bar Association web publication, Alaska Youth Law Guide: A Handbook for Teens and Young Adults. The publication was created by the Alaska Bar Association Law Related Education (LRE) Committee to help young Alaskans understand the law and how it may affect them. Prof. Deb Periman, Justice Center faculty, was the chair of the drafting sub-committee for the handbook.
