Life

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, she grew up in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood and attended The Seven Hills School. She attended Cornell University (BA 1973) and Northeastern University School of Law (JD 1976), before moving to Alaska in the 1970s.[1]

Following the retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter, U.S. Senator Mark Begich recommended her as a possible successor in a letter to President Barack Obama.[2]

An Indian Law and Order Commission report in 2013 of its investigation into public safety and justice system in Alaska Native villages commended Fabe's efforts to adapt traditional Native practices in sentencing, calling them "innovative, impressive and welcome."[3]

gollark: That's... just an ebay listing.

gollark: <@!665722810630406202> > how much are you willing to spend on new ones?I was just mentioning them because they seemed to spontaneously make quiet beeping noises, which was mildly weird. It seems to have stopped now. I'm not really looking to buy new headphones. Or, well, I actually was looking at getting a headset with a usable microphone thing, but that's unrelated.
