In this episode, David McDonald is joined by Katie Smithgall, Assistant Solicitor General for Montana, and Kelly Longwell, daughter to Sidney Longwell, the long-term client who finally got justice. Their topic: how can bureaucratic review hold a family oil and gas company hostage for over 30 years, denying their right to drill on a lease they’ve paid for? How do the courts help or hurt the family’s efforts to make productive use of their land? What can we do about it?
